Cm - Surface AspectDf - Localized Corrosion
Microscopic detail, by scanning electron microscope, of a region where there is a localized dissolution at the internal surface of the tube. The deposits are adhered at the surface and under the deposits, the analysis indicated increased sulfur levels, suggesting SRB (sulfate reduced bacteria) effects.

Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Pitting
Scanning electron microscopy aspect of the region inside of a pit. The aspect is of a chemical attack, generated by the metabolic by-products of the adhered microorganism. The effect is of a localized dissolution and the granular tube microsctruture is revealed.

Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Corrosion
Micrography of a transverse section of the tube, close to the leakage point. The thickness is localized reduced where the internal passive layer was ruptured, and the chemical effect of the biological proliferation created a high corrosion rate.
