I have fsa gossamers on a cross bike and upon removal I found that Bb30 cartridge had corroded and bonded to the axle. Any clue how to get it free? I've tried whacking it and crushing but to no avail?

Hit it harder! Will likely result in the collapse of the bearing but guess you were looking to replace them, particularly if they've been sitting in water.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Ta, but been through that stage! The cartridge collapsed and all I'm left with is the inner part which is stuck on the axle.0

You could try tapping a wedge-type tool between the spider and bearing e.g. large, flat-bladed screwdriver or cold-chisel or make/find a bearing puller like this:
