Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Micrography of the longitudinal section of the bolt at the top of the thread fillet, showing a small circunferential cracking typically of a rolling process to manufacture the thread.  The thread presented no evidences of plastic deformation suggesting that the heat treatment was applied later.  It is important to mention that this cracking presented no influence in the fracture of the bolt.

Micrography of a longitudinal section of the bolt at the bottom of the thread fillet, presenting a plastically deformed ferritic pearlitic structure in a very small extension from the surface (about 0.1mm). This analysis was conducted in a position far from the failure and the structure was created by the cold forming process to manufacture the thread.
