Digital optical micrograph of a CoCrMo head where ICI corrosion has taken place on a non-articulating machined surface adjacent to the modular taper bore. Machining lines are damaged by the ICI corrosion process in patterns consistent with the ICI corrosion seen in earlier examples on articular surfaces. The modular taper bore is about 3 mm to the lower right.
