Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Aluminum Alloy — sub-branches

Micrography of the welded joint, at the root, presenting hot cracks.  The imposed high energy in the root due to the ceramic backing support created a condition for cracking.

The welded joint of the flat position is shown from the root side.  It is possible to see that the use of the backing generated the possibility for melting the base metal out of the groove, without detection of this condition during welding, responsible for creating defects and avoiding the WPS qualification.

The welded joint of the vertical up position is shown from the root side.  It is possible to see that the use of the backing generated the possibility for melting the base metal out of the groove, without detection of this condition during welding, responsible for creating defects and avoiding the WPS qualification.
