Abstract
This paper shows the results obtained by fractographic (optical and electronic microscopy), metallographic, chemical analysis and numerical simulation: the root cause of the cracks was a phenomenon of pitting corrosion mainly located on the door back hinge and due to a local loss of coating. This made possible a fatigue fracture mechanism under normal operative cyclic loads.
