Scanning electron fractography of a chromium plated pin, close to the pin surface where the fatigue cracking started, showing intergranular morphology typical of a hydrogen embrittlement effect. It occurred because the low alloy pin was carburized, quenched and tempered, with a too high hardness structure, before the electrolytic plating.

Micrography of the thermal spray (TS) layer showing the different alloys, gray oxides and black voids. The Ni base TS alloy is of a yellow colour at the interface with the shaft substrate (in the left). The Cr base TS alloy appears white, similar to the shaft substrate.
