Drill Pipe Fracture in the Pipe Body
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Uniform Structure
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, in the thinner thickness. The diagonal line in the middle of the figure is the fracture surface and it is possible to identify that it was sheared with strong plastic deformation. The segregation bands (longitudinal lines) are deformed in the direction of the failure shearing, in a depth that is several milimeters deep in the pipe, from the fracture surface.

Collapse of a Drill Pipe
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Ductile Behavior
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ductile Fracture
Micrography of the pin longitudinal section (transverse to the fracture), in low magnification, close to the external surface of the pin (right side of the figure). The fracture (in the top of the figure) is flat, also evidencing no plastic deformation.

Drill Pipe Fracture in the Pipe Body
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Martensite
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe, at the external pipe surface, where there is a corroded spot. The microstructure is tempered martensite and at the surface the pipe is slightly decarburized.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - External Surface
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe, at the external pipe surface, where there is a crack propagating from the corroded spot. The microstructure is tempered martensite and at the surface the pipe is slightly decarburized.
