Micrographic detail by scanning electron microscopy of the interface between the two thermal spray layers, the first one in stainless steel (bottom of the figure) and the second one, at the surface,in tungsten carbide (top of the figure). The composition of the first layer is similar to the base metal (lean duplex) and the composition of the second layer is WC in a Co matrix.

Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Internal Surface
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.
