Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Micrography of the weld metal presenting a martensitic island with microcracks, due to a localized increase in the manganese and silicon content, probably because an active flux was adopted in a condition where a high cleanning action was not required. A high flux-to-wire ratio (>1) could also be an issue.
