Abstract: The fracture surface of the normalized steel 55SiMnMo was observed,under tensile device at- tached on the SEM,to be of ductile dimple feature on the bainite which is composed of lath ferrite and austenite platelet.The dimple is essentially nucleated in the ferrite.Because the austenitic plastic deformation is remarkable during fracturing,the tear ridge of dimple is very sharp.

Key words: dimple, plastic deformation, ductile fracture, steel 55SiMnMo
