Carburization of a 347 SS Welded Joint
M - Austenitic Stainless SteelP - Fabrication WeldAp - EnergyCd - Carburization
Cm - Oxalic Acid Electrolytic EtchDf - Intergranular Cracking
SAMPLE 1, AT THE FRACTURE - Micrographic detail, as polished, of the oxides that are penetrating in the austenitic grain boundaries. The oxidation created intergranular cracks in regions close to the edge of the rectangular tube, that are more susceptible to suffer cyclic thermal stresses, since the furnace is weekly turned off, during two days.

Cm - Kalling Etched Micrography by OMDf - Intergranular Cracking
Micrography of a section transverse to the repair weld showing that the macroscopic crack, detected at the surface of the plate, occurred exactly at the margin of the weld bead. It is possible to see that the bead was deposited over a region that was already corroded (intergranular corrosion) and the macroscopic crack is the opening of several corroded grains.
