Cm - FeCl3+HCl+H2O Etched MicroDf - General View
Micrography of the external side of the bent tube, showing detachement of several grains due to intergranular corrosion. The corroded layer is about 200 microns thick at this position. The differences of colours in the corroded layer suggests a dealloying effect, also known as selective leaching.
