Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Micrography of a longitudinal section, at the damage surface of the pin, where the thermal spray layer was partially detached and broken.  The through layer breaking is ductile, typical of an overloading condition caused by the localized bending of the pin.
