Tin Bronze Wear Ring of Seawater Pump
M - Tin BronzeP - Wear RingAp - ShipCd - Removed From Service
Cm - FeCl3+HCl+H2O solution Etched MacroDf - Casting Structure
Fractured position of the casting cylinder of 10.5 mm thickness (minimum measured thickness) showing a brittle behavior (lack of plastic deformation), typical of overloading a material with 1% ductility (measured in the tensile test). This is the view of the internal surface of the cylinder, presenting regions of localized thinning in this surface that was in contact with (treated) cooling water.  The external side of the cylinder was painted.

Brittle Fracture of a Corroded Gray Cast Iron
M - Gray Cast ironP - CastingAp - EngineCd - Brittle Fracture
Cm - Fracture Surface AspectDf - General View
The hose connector fracture surface presented different fracture micromechanisms associated to the microstructure: inclusion decohesion, small regions of intergranular fractures (probably due to cementite at grain boundaries), and cleavage of the ferritic structure.  All these mechanisms are brittle.
