Cm - Kalling Etched Micrography by OMDf - Secondary Cracks
Low magnification micrography of a stud longitudinal section in the first thread fillet adjacent to the fracture, presenting a large secondary crack without any deformation evidence. This reveals a brittle material behavior, although the hardness measured at the stud end revealed 33HRc, as should be expected by the material specification.
