Lateral image of a collapsed API 5D grade S135 drill pipe, presenting the fractured region (bottom of the figure) at the pipe body. Although the pipe steel is of a high strenght, the fracture characteristic is ductile, evidencing strong plastic deformation.

ML00159 — Collapse of a Drill PipeM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Ductile Behavior
Tempered martensite of the pipe body of this API 5D grade S135 drill pipe. The material presents, at this low magnification micrographic aspect, a slightly banded structure, usual for this type of drill pipe.

Macroscopic view of the fracture in the pipe body. In the bottom of the figure, the fracture of the pipe shows a thicker thickness, revealing that this is the pipe region that was first damaged by bending (buckling). In the top of the figure, the fracture shows a (ductile) shearing mechanism and the thickness is thinner, as will be better observed in the macrography.

Macrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, as ground, showing in the rigth side the thicker thickness and several secondary cracks opened to the external side of the pipe (created during bending), and in the left side the shearing mechanism and the thinner thickness.
