When examining a piece of metal through a magnifying glass, hair line cracks would indicate

  • crevice corrosion.
  • intergrannular corrosion.
  • surface corrosion.

Explanation from PART66Online

Fine hairline cracks seen under magnification indicate intergranular corrosion, where attack follows the grain boundaries and opens them up into thread-like cracks. Surface corrosion shows as general roughening and crevice corrosion as localised attack in joints, neither of which presents as hairline cracking.

Hello!
In this question, the key words is "line cracks".
Just look at the picture - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergranular_c...
Hair line cracks are not peculiar to surface corrosion...
