Torn wire at the drawing through sigma-phase - 1.4462

 

The sigma-phase is a brittle, intermetallic phase with high hardness. The sigma-phase is very brittle and has a bad impact strength. For this reason material with sigma phase can be usually bad or not processed. In this case it came to demolitions at the drawing.
