Q: There is a fracture in the component, and I suspect it is hydrogen embrittlement. I would like to use an optical microscope to examine the metallography. Can this method be used to detect it?
Answer: It is recommended to try the DVM6 Leica microscope first, observe which type of fracture the fracture morphology belongs to, and then further use an electron microscope to observe, which can more accurately distinguish whether the fracture is caused by hydrogen embrittlement.
