13Cr SS longitudinal section micrography, at the collapsed region, showing a ferritic matrix structure (overtempered) with the previous austenite grain boundaries decorated by phases (carbides and probably martensite islands), indicating that the material was exposed to a high tempering temperature that created a partial austenitizing condition. It explains the material low toughness and lower strenght (than required).

ML00039 — Collapse in Tubular 13CrM - Martensitic Stainless SteelP - Seamless PipeAp - Oil and GasCd - Heat Treatment Defect
13Cr SS in the longitudinal section, at the collapsed region. Non uniform structure (ferritic matrix and decorated prior austenite grain boundaries) that evidences an usuitable heat treatment during fabrication, and explains the material low strenght.
