Vibration Induced Fatigue in a Gas Piping
M - Low Carbon SteelP - Piping spoolAp - FPSOCd - Vibration Induced Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite and Pearlite
Micrographic detail of the longitudinal section of the fitiing, in a free-cutting steel. The microstructure is predominantly ferritic, with small perlitic areas and some free cementite at ferritic grain boundaries. There is a large amount of sulfide inclusions, aligned perpendicular to the forming direction.

M - CMn SteelP - Fabrication WeldAp - AutomotiveCd - Welding Defect
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Martensite
The micrography shows the martensitic region of the tube HAZ responsible for the hydrogen cracking, presenting too high hardness level (600 HV). It is a fresh martensite since the joint was welded in one pass and there was no PWHT.
