M - Precipitation Hardened Stainless SteelP - SpringAp - Oil and GasCd - Brittle Behavior
Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Corrosion
Aspect of the CuZn platesheet where it is corroded (cooling medium side). The (hot) air cooler uses treated seawater as the cooling medium and the corroded regions are associated to the regions in the heat exchanger of higher temperatures, and the leakage occurred in regions of contact of the platesheet to cooper alloy tubes.
