Abstract
During the service of X80 high-strength pipeline steel, the combined effects of welding residual stress, cyclic loading, and hydrogen complicate the prediction of pipeline fatigue life. This article combines ABAQUS and FRANC3D finite element software to analyze the fatigue crack growth laws of the X80 pipeline with thickness of 22 mm under the combined condition. After heat treatment, the fatigue life of pipelines with annular and axial cracks increased by 19 % and 83 %, indicating that post-weld heat treatment significantly improves the fatigue life of the pipeline. When the crack grows to the outer surface of the pipeline, the fatigue life of a pipeline with a 10 % hydrogen doping ratio is reduced by 77 % compared to one with a 1.5 % hydrogen doping ratio. These findings indicate that toughness of the crack front region is significantly reduced by hydrogen concentration, the crack propagation rate is accelerated, and the fatigue life of the pipeline is significantly reduced.
期刊介绍:
Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants.
The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome:
• Pressure vessel engineering
• Structural integrity assessment
• Design methods
• Codes and standards
• Fabrication and welding
• Materials properties requirements
• Inspection and quality management
• Maintenance and life extension
• Ageing and environmental effects
• Life management
Of particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time.
International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
