Cm - Surface AspectDf - Localized Corrosion
Microscopic detail, by scanning electron microscope, of a region where there is a localized dissolution at the internal surface of the tube. The deposits are adhered at the surface and under the deposits, the analysis indicated increased sulfur levels, suggesting SRB (sulfate reduced bacteria) effects.

Cm - Transverse Section AspectDf - Thick-edged rupture
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.
