Macrography of the longitudinal section of the tool joint, assembled. The pin is still attached to the box end of the other drill pipe in the column, showing that the pin fractured in the region of external diameter transition (right side of the figure), where the box was probably touching the pin shoulder. Interesting to note that the inner diameter still presents a sound coating.

Cm - Longitudinal Section AspectDf - Longitudinal Section
Macrosection transverse to the longitudinal seam weld, presenting the two passes, the first welded from the internal side and the second welded from the external side. It is possible to see the columnar grains of the weld and the heat affected zone (HAZ) from each pass. See the schematic drawing in the next figure
