Micrography of a longitudinal section of the sleeve close to the external surface, evidencing a tugnsten carbide thermal spray layer, thickness about 0.2 mm, at the sleeve outer diameter (OD), black due to the etch (top of the figure). This WC layer was deposited over a stainless steel layer disposed in several layers, non etched.

Image by scanning electron microscopy of the metallurgically bonded interface of the internally cladded pipe. It is a longitudinal seam welded pipe, with substrate in low alloy steel X65 and clad plate in Alloy 625 (welded by a solid state process). The region is a detail in the side of the Ni alloy clad plate where a grain refinement has occurred probably due to recrystallization of a strain hardened region during later heat treatment. The microhardness of this region is a lot higher than the value obtained out of this region, in the clad plate.
