Look for cyclic pressure fatigue, stress-corrosion cracking, and ultrasonic resonance fatigue.

While the root cause of each type is different, the end results are very similar... there is a significant grain coarsening in the tubing material, which leads to pitting, which leads to pin-holing, and blowout.
