Brittle Fracture of a 15-5 PH Valve Spring
M - Precipitation Hardened Stainless SteelP - SpringAp - Oil and GasCd - Brittle Behavior
Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Intergranular Fracture
Aspect of the fracture surface of the bolt, after cleaning with a  plastic brush.  Although there is a layer of oxides it is possible to see the intergranular morphology of the fracture, typical of a hydrogen embrittlement mechanism.
