Brittle Fracture of a LAS Valve Spring
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - SpringAp - Oil and GasCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Corrosion
Scanning electron microscopy aspect of the region inside of a pit. The aspect is of a chemical attack, generated by the metabolic by-products of the adhered microorganism. The effect is of a localized dissolution and the granular tube microsctruture is revealed.

ML00128 — MIC of a Stored Hydraulic CylinderM - Low Carbon SteelP - Chromium PlatedAp - OffshoreCd - Localized Dissolution
Scanning electron microscopy image in detail of the chromium plated cylinder surface in a region of localized dissolution. The surface shows several microcracks promoted by the effects of the microbiollogically induced corrosion. Inside the corroded pit the network of the chromium layer is evidenced by the MIC attack.
