Intergranular poreThe aperture is nanometer and micron levelTriangle, strip, and irregular shape
Intergranular corrosion poreRound, oval, long, triangular, and irregular
Intragranular poreElliptical, irregular, etc.
Intragranular dissolution poreRound, oval, irregular, etc.
MicrofractureThe width is generally nanometer, and the length is generally micron levelStrip shape
