Preferential Corrosion of Pipe Seam Weld
M - Low Carbon SteelP - Longitudinal Seam Welded PipeAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite and Pearlite
Micrography of the pipe in the leakage area, showing the preferential corrosion in the center of the autogenous weld and oxides inside the crevice, that appearas as a cracking but that is only a localized anodic process.

Preferential Corrosion of Pipe Seam Weld
M - Low Carbon SteelP - Longitudinal Seam Welded PipeAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Localized Corrosion
Micrographic detail of the autogenous seam weld. The localized dissolution occurrs exactly at the weld metal that presents a bainitic structure of average hardness about 230HV, compared to the heat affected zone presenting average of 202 HV and the base metal presenting average of 180HV.
