Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - External Surface
Macroscopic aspect of the outer diameter of the flanged sleeve presenting adhered products at the surface. The flanged sleeve was manufactured by centrifugal casting in a lean duplex stainless steel and it was externally coated by thermal spray (TS) in a position of sealing. After 5 years in service the system suffered leakage.

Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - External Surface
Image of the external surface of the valve body at the region where the Alloy 625 insert was fillet weld to the SDSS valve body. The surface was later machined, so it is possible to see only a mark indicating where the weld is. The brittle crack is arrested at the margin of the weld. It is possible to see strong deformation at the crack tip when it arrives the weld.

Micrography of the external side of the bent tube, showing detachement of several grains due to intergranular corrosion. The corroded layer is about 200 microns thick at this position. The differences of colours in the corroded layer suggests a dealloying effect, also known as selective leaching.

ML00163 — Corrosion Fatigue of a Boiler Waterwall TubeM - Low Carbon SteelP - Seamless tubeAp - BoilerCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Micrography of the external tube surface, presenting a crack at the weld margin. This cracking could have been created by thermal induced cycles (fatigue), but it did not propagate into the tube wall. In some regions of the external side of the tube the weld metal was detached.

Cm - Surface AspectDf - External Surface
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the sleeve, at the external surface where there are two layers of coating. The electrolytic etch evidenced the duplex stainless steel substrate (bottom of the figure) and the weave interface of the substrate and the first thermal spray layer, about 1 mm thick, in a stainless steel. The surface layer, of tugnsten carbide, about 0.2 mm thick, is black and not clearly visible in this figure.
