Failure Investigation of a Steel Pipe

This paper presents an investigation of a steel pipe failure. The pipe was retrieved from a car cooling system The failure involved some pin holes that cause leakage of liquid coolant of radiator. The corrosion attacks the internal wall of the pipe to the outside and caused the pin hole. The object...
