Cm - Longitudinal Section AspectDf - Plastic Deformation
Aspect of a transverse section of the 4" pipe showing the barnacles adhered to the internal pipe surface, and the leakage position (in the top of the figure).  It is possible to see that the deposits are attached all throught the internal pipe perimeter but the damage is localized.  The damage morphology suggests it is a crack, or a welding defect, but the microstructural analysis indicated that the damage is a galvanic effect at the autogenous seam weld.

The longitudinal section of the pin at the region of the thermal spray layer detachment, showing that the pin suffered a localized lateral bending with strong plastic deformation, responsible for the layer detachment.  The figure shows the external surface (top of the figure) with the layer detachment (gray aspect), the thickness of the pin (deformed) and the internal surface (bright aspect).
