After cutting the pipe and opening the crack, the fracture appearance shows a clean fracture, flat, starting from the margem of the weld of the pipe (right side of the figure), and propagating through wall into the pipe (aproximately 5 mm thickness). The external side of the pipe is to the right side of the figure (presenting the weld finishing) and the internal side of the pipe is to the left side of the figure.

ML00150 — Vibration Induced Fatigue in a SS Oil PipingM - Duplex Stainless SteelP - PipingAp - FPSOCd - Vibration Induced Fatigue
The same fracture appearance of the previous figure, looking at a higher magnification by scanning electron microscopy. The fracture is clean, flat, starting in the right side of the figure, at the margem of the weld and propagating into the pipe thickness. The external side of the pipe is to the right side of the figure and the internal side of the pipe is to the left side of the figure.

Cm - Fractography by SEMDf - Fracture
Fracture apperance by scanning electron microscopy of the region where the fatigue crack started, from the piping outside . The fracture is flat, presents some smashed regions close to the surface (to the right side) and there are some thin secondary cracks.
