Poster presented at the 16th International Conference on Small-Angle Scattering, held on 13-18th September, 2015, Berlin (Germany).A subsea flexible pipe has been subjected to cyclic rapid decompression. The poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) layers have flowed radially into gaps of adjacent metallic coils forming whitened noses. Microbeam small-angle X-Ray scattering (SAXS) scanning is applied. PVDF layers (inner: wear, outer: barrier) in two zones (undamaged and damaged) are tested. Far from noses and damage zone the samples are isotropic without voids. Their morphological parameters are determined and compared to virgin material. Approaching the noses, the structure turns into highly oriented microfibrils perpendicular to the local flow into the gaps. Here voids extend parallel to the microfibrils. At edges of the metallic structure they turn more perpendicular to the layer. Crystallite orientation extends out to both sides of the whitened nose regions, but in the undamaged samples tilting of the orientation direction and void-formation are restricted to the white regions: successive mechanisms of cold drawing are mapped into space. Under the damaged spot voids and crystallite orientation are observed everywhere[1]
