Penetrant test (dye check) image of the cracks at the surface of the actuator hole, viewed from inside of the body after the longitudinal cut. The aspect of the cracks at the hole, close to the internal side of the valve, is not the same as the aspect of the cracks at the external side (a straigth line), suggesting that the original cracks had propagated by fatigue through wall. The penetrant did not stained too much at the cracked area, indicating that the cracks are not too deep in this position, or are not fully opened to the surface.

Visual aspect of the tool joint (TJ) that fractured in the pin body when it was assembled (the box appears as a sleeve in the pin OD). The internal coating is not damaged. The fracture is flat and presents little evidences of plastic deformation, indicating that the pin broke in a brittle way.

Cm - Aspect by NDTDf - Brittle Fracture
The repair weld presented several cracks in the weld metal, transverse to the weld, detected during inspection using magnetic particle test. The cracks were mainly located in regions of the structure where the repair was conducted by welding in the vertical position using 1/8" stick electrode.

Magnetic particle test of the same cracks at the edge of the actuator hole, viewed from inside of the body. The cracks appeared more clearly with this test than with the penetrant test, suggesting that the cracks are not fully opened to the surface.

After grinding to remove the cracks, it was possible to see that they originated in the root, with longitudinal and transverse cracking, and localized in the weld metal only.
