Mooring chain links demonstrating heavy localized corrosion after 10 years of exposure to deep-sea conditions. A General overview of a chain link after removal of the corrosion products. B SEM image of the corrosion products. C Intensive pitting observed at the ends of the chain link. D‑E Cross-section analyses of pitting penetration to the base material on the ends of mooring chain link, polished and etched. F Wide, localized corrosion on the chain link sides. G‑H Cross-section analyses of pitting penetration to the base material, polished, and etched surface
