Brittle Fracture of a Corroded Gray Cast Iron
M - Gray Cast ironP - CastingAp - EngineCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Close to the External Surface
Micrography of a transverse section of the tubing in the center of the thickness. Ferritic-pearlitic structure. The structure is fully ferritic in a small extension at the surface, due to a decarburization effect during manufacturing.
