Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Fracture
SAMPLE 1 AT THE FRACTURE - Micrographic detail by scanning electron microscopy, as polished, of the oxides that are penetrating in the grain boundaries. The EDS showed high Molibdenium content in the penetrating oxides. The process uses Mo oxides to make metallic Mo and the high Mo content at the surface could be responsible for reducing the oxidation resistance of the material and intensifying the thinning at the process side (side A).

Aspect of a micrographic sample by scanning electron microscopy showing the external pipe surface, in the bottom, the fracture at the left side of the figure and several spots of pitting corrosion from the external surface. The polished section (transverse to the fracture and in a longitudinal section of the pipe) shows the morphology of the pit , 0.2 mm depth. Original magnification 50x.

Cm - Micrography by SEMDf - Pitting
Image by scanning electron microscopy of the metallurgically bonded interface of the composite seamless tube (carbon steel externally claded with stainless steel), in the side of the stainless steel where a strain hardening effect plus a carbide precipitation in twins is shown. The hardness of this region (279 HV0.3) is a lot higher than the value obtained out of this region (167 HV0.3) for the same stainless steel.
