Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Optical Microscope — sub-branches

Micrography of the longitudinal section of the bolt at the top of the thread fillet, showing a small circunferential cracking typically of a rolling process to manufacture the thread.  The thread presented no evidences of plastic deformation suggesting that the heat treatment was applied later.  It is important to mention that this cracking presented no influence in the fracture of the bolt.
