Corrosion Fatigue of a Boiler Waterwall Tube
M - Low Carbon SteelP - Seamless tubeAp - BoilerCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Transgranular Cracking
Micrographic detail of the crack at the edge of the tube. This is not the best direction of analysis because the cracks are parallel to the analyzed section. It is possible to see the crack from the surface, large and filled with oxides.
