Micrography of the pipe in the leakage area, at the internal pipe surface, showing the preferential corrosion in the center of the autogenous weld and oxides inside the crevice. The morphology of the corrosion is similar to a cracking but the analysis show that it is a localized anodic process.

ML00140 — Preferential Corrosion of Pipe Seam WeldM - Low Carbon SteelP - Longitudinal Seam Welded PipeAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Micrography of the pipe at the leakage position showing an oxide layer inside the crevice. The corrosion occurred exactly at the weld metal and the region at the margin of the damage shows the heat affected zone of the autogenous weld, with a refined grain size.
