Corrosion Fatigue of U Bolt Pipe Clamp
M - Low Carbon SteelP - BoltAp - ShipCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Aspect of a broken 5/16" bolt that was operating inside the pressure vessel in a condition that exceeds the limits of use of the AISI 316 steel. The fracture is located close to the position where there was the bolt head and the threads were "removed" close to the fracture surface.

Hydrogen Cracking of LAS Subsea Bolts
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - FastenerAp - SubseaCd - Hydrogen Embrittlement
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Detail of the brittle part of the bolt fracture, presenting a secondary cracking longitudinal to the bolt axis. The region of the bolt at the bottom of the thread (close to the surface) is brighter than the internal part of the bolt suggesting different fracture mechanisms.
