Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Results

SortRelevanceNewestOldestTitle A-ZTitle Z-A
Aspect of the cracked valve body, after disassembling and removing the internal parts. The valve is part of a lot that was manufactured by forging a cubic 170mm from a forged bar in SDSS UNS S32760, and heat treated (solution annealed) by the forging company. The fabrication using these bodies included the machining, fillet weld two inserts in Alloy 625, machining again, assembling the internals, and pressure test at 15,000 psi. The cracking occurred during test, only for this valve body.

Cm - Testpiece aspectDf - Fracture
The through wall cracking was opened by citting the two sides and the aspect was characterized by SEM. Although there was a film at the fracture surface, probably because the fitting was removed from service some time after it was leaking, the fracture micromechanism is by quasecleavage, typical of a stress corrosion cracking.
