Cm - As polished micrographyDf - At the Surface
SAMPLE 1, CLOSE TO THE SURFACE OF SIDE A - Micrography, as polished, of the oxides at the process side. In this region the oxide layer is penetrating into the austenitic grain boundaries, creating a crack like effect.

Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Intergranular Fracture
SAMPLE 1, AT THE FRACTURE - Micrographic detail, as polished, of the oxides that are penetrating in the austenitic grain boundaries. The oxidation created intergranular cracks in regions close to the edge of the rectangular tube, that are more susceptible to suffer cyclic thermal stresses, since the furnace is weekly turned off, during two days.
