The presence of tubercles is usually obvious. Friable brown and orange nodular encrustations on mild steel and cast iron cooling water components are almost always tubercles (Figs. 3.12 through 3.14). The presence of a crust, shell, core, cavity, and corroded floor are definitive (Fig. 3.3). Careful analysis can provide considerable information concerning growth, chemical composition, and associated metal loss.

Each tubercle exhibited small clam-shell marks or growth rings (Fig. 3.30). Each ring was formed by fracture at the tubercle base during growth. Ejected internal contents rapidly deposited when contacting oxygenated waters. Tubercles were hollow (Fig. 3.31). Surfaces below the...

Internal surfaces were moderately tuberculated (Fig. 3.14). Extremely thick, hard magnetite shells capped large internal cavities (Fig. 3.9). Pipe cross-sectional area was reduced by at least 30% in some places. Tubercles were aligned with flow, indicating that growth occurred during service. No failure occurred, and deepest metal loss was only 0.093 in. (0.033 cm) from the nominal pipe wall thickness of 0.225 in. (0.572 cm). 

As the diameter of the catalyst particle is supposed to be close to that of the single-shell tubule[20], or to that of the inner tubule [8], the number of graphitic layers might depend on the flow rate of acetylene at the catalyst particle. The graphitic layers are supposed to be formed by the Cj units formed on the catalyst particle, exceeding those needed for the growth of the multi-shell tubule inner layer. This generalisation to multi-layer tubules is just a hypothesis, since we do not have any experimental proof yet. 

Buckytubes were observed for the first time by HREM[1,2] and their structural properties were subsequently characterized. In this section, we will briefly describe observations of the structure of a bundle of buckytubes, evidence for a helical growth of buckytubes and their derivatives, and the single-shell structures. 

At the end of this section, let us return briefly to the spectra shown in Fig. 3. Notice the structure in the mass spectrum of QoCa, between the completion of the first metal layer at 32 and the second at 104. This structure is identical in the fragmentation mass spectra of fullerenes covered with Ca and with Sr. It is reminiscent of the subshell structure of pure Ca clusters. The subshells could be correlated with the formation of stable islands during the growth of the individual shells[10,l 1]. The sublayer structure we observe here may also give some clue to the building process of these layers. However, the data is presently insufficient to allow stable islands to be identified with certainty. 

During the discharge one electrode is moved in such a way that the discharge remains stable (this can be monitored by the current value). After this period, a deposit (10-15 mm long) forms on the cathode, which is composed of a hard grey shell formed, and a black inner core. An eye observation of the black core easily reveals a columnar texture in the direction of the deposit growth. The columns are actually formed by bundles of CNTs.
