Micrographic detail of the interface between the substrate and the first thermal spray layer. The substrate (bottom of the figure) shows a ferritic-austenitic microstructure and detrimental phases that look like sigma at the delta and gamma interface. The thermal spray layer (top of the figure) presents the non-etched stainless steel, disposed in layers, with oxides (gray) and voids (black). The substrate is deformed in a thin layer at the interface.

ML00147 — WC Layer Detached from a Cast Lean DuplexM - Lean Duplex Stainless SteelP - Centrifugal CastingAp - ShipCd - Lack of Sealing
Micrographic detail of the longitudinal section of the cast sleeve in the middle of the thickness. The microstructure is duplex, austenitic and ferritic. The etch presents different colours for the phases. The yellow is associated to detrimental phases, like sigma, at the ferritic phase (ligh blue) and the white phase is the austenite.

Micrographic detail of the longitudinal section of the cast sleeve at the ID. The microstructure is duplex, austenitic and ferritic. The etch presents different colours for the phases. The yellow is associated to detrimental phases, like sigma, at the ferritic phase (ligh blue) and the white phase is the austenite. No evidences of corrosion. The environment in this position is non corrosive, oil.
