ML00068 — Corrosion Fatigue of a 5" Drill PipeM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Seamless PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Aspect of the washout in the 5" drill pipe, in the pipe body, after cleaning the surface.  The surface presents several parallel tool marks that are not typical in the pipe since the torque is applied in the tool joint.

M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Seamless PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Surface AspectDf - At the Surface
The longitudinal section of the 1/2" thick pipe close to the washout position shows that the external tool marks are like notches that are corroded and cracks are iniciating from the corroded regions.  The top of the figure presents the external pipe surface and the bottom of the figure presents the internal pipe surface, with a green coating and the rusted washout.

Corrosion Fatigue of a 5" Drill Pipe
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Seamless PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Martensite
The micrography in the as polished condition of the longitudinal section of the pipe close to the washout, shows that at the tool mark tip (notch from the external surface) a fatigue crack already started from a corroded region (pitting).
