Accelerated thermal-oxidative aging and degradation mechanism of high-density polyethylene butt-fusion welded joint
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines are widely used for the transportation of natural gas. The butt-fusion welded joints melt and cool during the welding process, resulting in changes in mechanical properties, molecular chain spatial position microstructure, and functional groups. Herein, we investigate the aging behavior of an HDPE butt-fusion welded joint in accelerated thermal-oxidative aging tests under various temperature gradients. The Vicat softening temperature, oxidation induction time, and infrared spectrum were measured, and the microstructures were observed. The results indicated that the mechanical and chemical properties of the butt-fusion welded joint degraded with incresing aging temperature. Analysis was conducted to identify the molecular chain intersection mechanism in the heat-affected zone and the weld joining mechanism. The findings help understand the aging behavior of HDPE and provide guidelines to reduce the risk caused by butt-fusion welded joint degradation.
期刊介绍:
Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials accepts contributions dealing with the time-dependent mechanical properties of solid polymers, metals, ceramics, concrete, wood, or their composites. It is recognized that certain materials can be in the melt state as function of temperature and/or pressure. Contributions concerned with fundamental issues relating to processing and melt-to-solid transition behaviour are welcome, as are contributions addressing time-dependent failure and fracture phenomena. Manuscripts addressing environmental issues will be considered if they relate to time-dependent mechanical properties.
The journal promotes the transfer of knowledge between various disciplines that deal with the properties of time-dependent solid materials but approach these from different angles. Among these disciplines are: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Rheology, Materials Science, Polymer Physics, Design, and others.
