What type mechanical testing can

confirm temper embrittlement and
what is the main
type of failure mode?

a
4.2.3.5

a) It may be confirmed by impact

testing and may result in catastrophic
brittle fracture
b) It can only be confirmed through
metallographic examination and may
result in brittle fracture
c) It may be confirmed by tensile
testing and may result long term creep
failure
d) It can be confirmed by 100%
radiography and may result in long
term creep failure
