Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Multiple cracks
Macrography of the transverse section of the tube, in a position where the cracking was not yet through wall. The internal tube surface shows multiple corrosion fatigue cracks, parallel, under the weld of the membrane, probably related to the cold side of the tube (the cracks opened to the boiler outside). The external side of the tube presenting a small crack at the margem of the weld, suggesting also the action of thermal stresses.

Micrography of the cracking surface, presenting multiple cracks from the edge of the tube, typical of fatigue induced by stresses generated by differential expansion of the pipe in relation to the tubesheet, due to thermal cycles.

ML00171 — Corrosion Fatigue of U Bolt Pipe ClampM - Low Carbon SteelP - BoltAp - ShipCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Detail by scanning electron microscop of the clamp surface showing several cracks, parallel. In this image the cracks appear horizontal, but the photo was taken with the axis of the clamp in the vertical direction which means that the cracks are transverse to the axis.
