Microscopical aspect by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the external surface of a drilling tool in a position that presented localized deposits and corrosion under deposit. The deep corrosion in a short time is only possible associated to the biological growth and aggressive environment generated by the microorganisms metabolites - Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC).

Detail, by scanning electron microscopy, of the external surface of the line at the cracking position presenting branched cracks, transverse to the line axis. The surface of the fitting is fully stained (dark grey), from where the cracks start, indicating that the material loose passivation in these regions.

The aspect of the fitting surface by SEM shows multiple cracks. Interesting to observe a stained region (dark grey) that corresponds to regions where the material passivation was destroyed.
