Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Cracks
Micrography of the branch cracking parallel to the fracture. There are several secondary intergranular cracks and the cracks are filled with zinc. The zinc appears dark because of the Nital etch, and the steel close to the cracking is not fully revealed because of the protection by the zinc.
