ML00147 — WC Layer Detached from a Cast Lean DuplexM - Lean Duplex Stainless SteelP - Centrifugal CastingAp - ShipCd - Lack of Sealing
Longitudinal slice of the flanged sleeve, 180 mm long, in a macrography presenting the 1/2" tubular wall thickness where the sealing was applied. The external surface of the sleeve (seawater wet) is in the left side of the figure and the internal surface (oiled) is in the right side. The flange is to the top of the figure.

Cm - Longitudinal Section AspectDf - General View
Macrographic aspect of the sleeve longitudinal section where the coating was applied in the external side (top of the figure). It is possible to see that the sleeve was manufactured by centrifugal casting, with elongated grains from the external side, and equiaxial grains close to the internal side (bottom of the figure). There is a weaved interface between the sleeve and the first layer of thermal spray coating, 1 mm thick; and a second layer of thermal spray coating, 0.2mm thick (almost imperceptible at this low magnification).

Macroscopic aspect of the OD surface of the sleeve (top of the figure), and a macrography of a longitudinal section (bottom of the figure). In the right side of the figure it is possible to see that the lack of sealing is associated to the detachment of the thermal spray surface layer.
