M - Super Duplex Stainless SteelP - Fabrication WeldAp - SubseaCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - NaOH Electrolytic Etched MicroDf - Sigma
Microstructural analysis of the valve body structure, far from the position where the cracking has occurred, in the bottom of the body. The structure is ferritic austenitic, with some sigma phase, not in a large amount, indicating the valve structure was not uniform.
