M - High Strength Low AlloyP - Coated ProductAp - Mechanical IndustryCd - Liquid Metal Embrittlement
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Zn Layer
Micrography of the section transverse to the fracture (top of the figure). The fracture is intergranular, there are several secondary cracks, and there are deposits of zinc over the fracture. The zinc makes difficult the etch with Nital to reveal the microstructure close to the fracture surface.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Fracture
Micrographic detail of the section transverse to the fracture (top of the figure), suggesting the intergranular morphology (at the previous austenite grain boundaries) and the deposits of zinc over the fracture that create a condition of protection of the base metal during the metallographic etch, and the material is not fully etched.
