Low magnification view of the WHEEL 1 fracture surface. The thickness of the wheel in this position (flat and paralell to the wheel face) is about 2.5 mm. The aspect of the fracture is similar all through the fracture perimeter, including the region where the fracture propagation changes the direction.

Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - General View
Low magnification micrography of the welded region, showing the interface between the base in the bottom and the fusion zone (between the liquidus and solidus temperatures), as well as the weld metal in the top. There are pores close to the weld metal and in the fusion zone the interdendritic space was melted and the eutectic morphology was changed. Keller etch.
