Abstract
This research presents an experimental study of analysis of stress strain state SSS of X-60 pipe weld joints employing magnetic anisotropy indicator of mechanical stresses Stress Vision (IMS) using of “before and after” comparison approach taking readings on pipe base metal, weld area and heat affected zone (HAZ) before and after hydrotest. Test results were compared with X-ray testing results for welded joints and with metallographic testing. Test results demonstrate the relevance of applied test conditions and redistribution of residual stresses. A new equation was established for estimating the residual (technological) and operating stresses in other pipelines with a tolerance of 15% in the field of elastic deformation (up to the yield point), according to Hooke law.
Highlights
It’s generally recognized that the main reason of objects failure is internal residual mechanical stresses, developed in parts of structures, these stresses may reach the yield strength [1]
Fifteen specimens (10 mm × 19 mm) were removed transverse to the welding direction covering the weld area, heat affected zone (HAZ) in addition to 7 specimens removed from base metal out of weld area and HAZ, to produce specimens for microstructure examination
The following should be noted: Compressive and tensile stresses exist in most metal structures and can be readily detected with Stress Vision
Summary
It’s generally recognized that the main reason of objects failure is internal residual mechanical stresses, developed in parts of structures, these stresses may reach the yield strength [1]. The occurrence of these stresses is always associated with linear or volume strains. The Joule effect has an important reciprocal effect known as the Villari effect; a stress induced in the material causes a change in the magnetization. This change in magnetization can be sensed, and once calibrated, used to measure the applied stress or force. The Villari effect has been the subject of much research (Lee, 1955; du Tremolet de Lacheisserie, 1993; Jiles, 1995) [2]
