Scanning electron microscopy image of the chromium plated cylinder surface, presenting deposits and localized dissolution under deposits. There are different stages of corrosion in this region, observed in low magnification. Small areas of attack and a shallow pitting with deposits that were analyzed by EDS and revealed the presence of S.

Fractographic analysis by scanning electron microscopy of the stud fracture surface after opening the cracks. Brittle intergranular morphology with dimples and quasecleavage micromechanisms indicate that the internal cracks, intergranular, occurred by a hydrogen embrittlement effect during electroplating, and the ductile aspects are probably associated to overloading during torque.

Aspect of the fracture surface of the bolt, after cleaning with a plastic brush. Although there is a layer of oxides it is possible to see the intergranular morphology of the fracture, typical of a hydrogen embrittlement mechanism.

Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Corrosion
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.
