Cm - NItal Etched MacroDf - Welded Joint
Macrographic detail of the pipe to weldolet weld, and the through wall cracking in the pipe from the margin of the weld. The pipe thickness is only 5 mm (SCH 10S) but the large thickness of the fitting required several weld passes to create a full penetration weld.

Macrography of the welded joint taken from the vertical up part of the joint, presenting the root in one pass, the fill of the joint in three passes, the cap in three passes and two temper bead passes. The 10" diameter tube, 9.5mm thick, was welded by GTAW in the root (80SD2 filler metal) and by SMAW for fill, cap and temper bead passes (10018-D2 filler metal).

Cm - NItal Etched MacroDf - Welded Joint
Macrography of the plate (thickness 22mm, in horizontal position) to tube (thickness 12.5 mm, in vertical position) welded joint. The half V groove was welded from the top (position inside the combustion chamber) in five weld beads, and with a small fillet welded from the water side (ouside of the tube). Average hardness of the plate is 180HV1 (1kg), of the tube is 150HV1 and of the weld is 190HV1. Maximum hardness of the tube HAZ is 165HV1 and plate HAZ is 195HV1.

ML00150 — Vibration Induced Fatigue in a SS Oil PipingM - Duplex Stainless SteelP - PipingAp - FPSOCd - Vibration Induced Fatigue
Macrography of a transverse section of the welded joint, at the fatigue crack position in the pipe. It is very interesting to observe that the crack propagated from the margin of the weld, independently of the defects in the weld (porosity and lack of fusion), and without relationship with the unbalanced structure at the cap (with a large amount of ferrite). These characteristics are detailed in the next figures.
