Micrography of a longitudinal section of the sleeve, at the external surface where there are two layers of coating. The electrolytic etch evidenced the duplex stainless steel substrate (bottom of the figure) and the weave interface of the substrate and the first thermal spray layer, about 1 mm thick, in a stainless steel. The surface layer, of tugnsten carbide, about 0.2 mm thick, is black and not clearly visible in this figure.

ML00147 — WC Layer Detached from a Cast Lean DuplexM - Lean Duplex Stainless SteelP - Centrifugal CastingAp - ShipCd - Lack of Sealing
Micrography of the longitudinal section of the sleeve, at the interface between the substrate and the first thermal spray layer. The substrate (bottom of the figure) shows a ferritic-austenitic microstructure and detrimental phases that look like sigma. The thermal spray layer (top of the figure) presents the non-etched stainless steel, disposed in layers, with oxides (gray) and voids (black). The substrate is deformed in a thin layer at the interface.

Micrography of the longitudinal section of the cast sleeve, close to the internal diameter (ID). The microstructure is coarse, austenitic ferritic, and presents the same microstructure, ferritic and austenitic, all through the thickness.
