Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Macrographic detail of the hardened layer, about 3mm deep from the surface. Important to observe that the bearing is not heat treated in the radius, only in the contact area.  The hardness at the surface is 430HV and the hardness in the base metal is 260HV.

Micrography of a longitudinal section of the bolt at the bottom of the thread fillet, presenting a plastically deformed ferritic pearlitic structure in a very small extension from the surface (about 0.1mm). This analysis was conducted in a position far from the failure and the structure was created by the cold forming process to manufacture the thread.
