Cm - Micrography by OM using A262 Method ADf - Localized Corrosion
Micrographic detail of the crevice corrosion in the case wall, showing that the structure is not affected and is fully austenitic with equiaxial grains typical of a solution annealed condition. Even non metallic inclusions did not accelerate corrosion since the extension of the inclusions was not too long and they were not connecting to others.
