Handbook of Materials Failure Analysis: With Case Studies from the Oil and Gas Industry provides an updated understanding on why materials fail in specific situations, a vital element in developing and engineering new alternatives.

This handbook covers analysis of materials failure in the oil and gas industry, where a single failed pipe can result in devastating consequences for people, wildlife, the environment, and the economy of a region.

The book combines introductory sections on failure analysis with numerous real world case studies of pipelines and other types of materials failure in the oil and gas industry, including joint failure, leakage in crude oil storage tanks, failure of glass fibre reinforced epoxy pipes, and failure of stainless steel components in offshore platforms, amongst others.



- Introduces readers to modern analytical techniques in materials failure analysis
- Combines foundational knowledge with current research on the latest developments and innovations in the field
- Includes numerous compelling case studies of materials failure in oil and gas pipelines and drilling platforms

Analytical techniques applicable to failure analysis in different industrial sectors have evolved in past few decades and enhancement of such techniques has been taking place and even intensified in recent years. New analytical procedures and data analysis based on existing techniques and instrumentation are being developed constantly. This chapter reviews the most recent developments in the field of analytical techniques used in failure analysis of aerospace, chemical, and oil and gas industries. The particular focus of this chapter will be on chemical analysis, phase identification, microscopy, and residual stress analysis. In particular, emphasis will be placed on recent advancements in microstructural analysis using tools such as EBSD and focused ion beam, phase analysis based on vibrational spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction application in residual stress measurements. Basic principle, instrumentation, data interpretation, and precautions for each of the techniques will be discussed. The aim of this chapter will be to provide a solid background on a given technique helping both failure analysis practitioners as well as engineers in different technical fields who will be searching for a suitable method for their problem on hand. Following is a tentative list of techniques to be covered in this chapter categorized based on the type of information they offer.

1.1 Optical Microscopy
Human curiosity about the shapes and appearance of objects at both macro and micro scales has helped us develop microscopes with higher resolving powers. Human eyes with resolution power of 0.1 mm are not sufficient to observe features smaller than 0.1 mm. Therefore, microscopes with higher resolution are needed to examine mat
