Aspect of the male part of the coupling, a pin, presenting the thermal spray layer detachment (right side of the figure). The pin was manufactured in a superduplex stainless steel tubular forging; the external surface was partially coated by thermal spray and machined.  The sealing is only elastomeric but a coating is required to avoid galling between the two materials of the coupling.

Aspect of the fracture surface of the 2" diameter casting.  The fracture appeared flat, with secondary cracks, and the position of the fracture during the loading test is located in the region that was in tensile stress during the hot dip galvanized process (the part was sustaining its own weight during the zinc hot dip bath).

Aspect of the cracked valve body, after disassembling and removing the internal parts.  The valve is part of a lot that was manufactured by forging a cubic 170mm from a  forged bar in SDSS UNS S32760, and heat treated (solution annealed) by the forging company. The fabrication using these bodies included the machining, fillet weld two inserts in Alloy 625, machining again, assembling the internals, and pressure test at 15,000 psi.  The cracking occurred during test, only for this valve body.
