Abstract
Crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) tests were conducted on the weld and heat affected zone (HAZ) of L415MS/N08825 bimetallic composite pipe welded joint according to BS7448, ISO12135(2002) and ISO15653(2010) standards at room temperature. The fracture toughness of weld and HAZ were studied and analyzed. The fracture surface and inclusions were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), respectively. The results showed that the average CTOD value of the weld was less than HAZ, CTOD values of HAZ exhibited larger discrete, which was mainly caused by Pop-in effect in P-V curve of HAZ samples. CTOD value of sample with Pop-in effect dropped several times than sample without Pop-in effect. The fracture surfaces of the weld and HAZ showed tough fracture to a certain extent, and the fracture surface of HAZ sample with Pop-in effect exhibited significant quasi-cleavage feature.
