Fatigue of a Flared Tubing Connection
M - Austenitic Stainless SteelP - TubingAp - EngineCd - Mechanical Fatigue
Cm - Oxalic Acid Electrolytic EtchDf - At the Surface
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the flared tubing where the fracture occurred. The starting point of the fracture is associated to the external side of the tubing, where it was connected by a nut and there was a localized plastic deformation due to the fitting assembly.
