Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Base Metal
Micrography of the external tube surface, presenting a crack at the weld margin. This cracking could have been created by thermal induced cycles (fatigue), but it did not propagate into the tube wall. In some regions of the external side of the tube the weld metal was detached.

ML00153 — X52 in a Tubular StructureM - CMn SteelP - Seamless PipeAp - StructureCd - Qualified
Micrography of the pipe base metal, in a longitudinal section. The ferritic structure is refined and it is possible to identify a small variation in the ferritic grain size, that is promoting the slight banding effect.

M - CMn SteelP - Seamless PipeAp - StructureCd - Qualified
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Base Metal
Micrography of the weded joint at the cap pass fusion line. The columnar structure of the weld metal is to the top of the figure; and it is possible to see the coarse grains at the heat affected zone. Both columnar structure and coarse grains are related to the previous austenite grain boundaries. From the fusion line to the base metal (in the bottom of the figure) the grain sizes are refined.
