Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

The hose connector fracture surface presented different fracture micromechanisms associated to the microstructure: inclusion decohesion, small regions of intergranular fractures (probably due to cementite at grain boundaries), and cleavage of the ferritic structure.  All these mechanisms are brittle.
