This paper presents a stress-modified fracture strain for API X65 steel used for gas pipeline, as a function of stress triaxiality. To determine the stress-modified fracture strain, tension test of bars with four different notch radii, made of API X65 steel, is firstly performed, from which true fracture strains are determined as a function of notch radius. Then detailed elastic-plastic, large strain finite element (FE) analyses are performed to estimate variations of stress triaxiality in the notched bars with load. Combining experimental with FE results provides the true fracture strain as a function of stress triaxiality, which is regarded as a criterion of ductile fracture. Application of the developed stress-modified fracture strain to failure prediction of gas pipes made of API X65 steel with various types of defects is discussed.

A local failure criterion for the API X65 steel is applied to predict ductile failure of full-scale API X65 pipes with simulated corrosion and gouge defects under internal pressure. The local failure criterion is the stress-modified fracture strain for the API X65 steel as a function of the stress triaxiality (defined by the ratio of the hydrostatic stress to the effective stress). Based on detailed FE analyses with the proposed local failure criteria, burst pressures of defective pipes are estimated and compared with experimental data. The predicted burst pressures are in good agreement with experimental data. Noting that an assessment equation against the gouge defect is not yet available, parametric study is performed, from which a simple equation is proposed to predict burst pressure fur API X65 pipes with gouge defects.

This paper presents a micro-mechanical model of ductile fracture for the API X65 steel using the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model. Experimental tests and FE damage simulations using the GTN model are performed for smooth and notched tensile bars, from which the parameters in the GTN model are calibrated. As application, the developed GTN model is applied to simulate small-sized, single-edge-cracked tensile and bend bars, via three-dimensional FE damage analyses. Comparison of FE damage analysis results with experimental test data shows overall good agreements.

실 배관을 평가하는 DWTT (Drop Weight Tearing Test)의 파괴인성 값은 실 배관의 파괴인성 값 및 연성취성천이 온도를 예측할 수 있는 실험방법이므로, 최근 DWTT의 값에 대한 중요성이 증가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 API X70과 API X65 라인파이프강의 DWTT 후의 온도에 따른 연성파면율, 역파면율, 흡수에너지와 온도 $-60^{\circ}C$~상온)와의 관계를 비교분석 하고자 하였다. X65과 X70의 값에서 마찬가지로 연성파면율 및 흡수에너지는 온도가 낮아질수록 함께 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, X70의 경우에는 $-40^{\circ}C$ 까지 연성파괴를 보이는 반면, X65는 $-30^{\circ}C$ 까지 연성파괴를 보였다.

During the pipe forming process, a steel plate undergoes inelastic behavior multiple times under a load condition repeating tension and compression in the circumferential direction. It derives local reduction or increase of yield strength within the thickness of steel pipes by the plastic hardening and Bauschinger effect. In this study, a combined hardening model is proposed to effectively predict variations of yield strength in the circumferential direction of API-X65 and X70 steel pipes with relatively low t/D ratio during the forming process, which is expected to experience accumulated plastic strain of 2~3%, the typical Lüder band range in a low-carbon steel. Cyclic tensile tests of API-X65 and X70 steels were performed, and the parameters of the proposed model for the steels were calibrated using the test results. Bending-flattening tests to simulate repeated tension and compression during pipe forming were followed for API-X65 and X70 steels, and the results were compared with those by the proposed model and Zou et al. (2016), in order to verify the process of material model calibration based on tension-compression cyclic test, and the accuracy of the proposed model. Finally, parametric analysis for the yield strength of the steel plate in the circumferential direction of UOE pipe was conducted to investigate the effects of t/D and expansion ratios after O-forming on the yield strength. The results confirmed that the model by Zou et al. (2016) underestimated the yield strength of steel pipe with relatively low t/D ratio, and the parametric analysis showed that the t/D and expansion ratio have a significant impact on the strength of steel pipe.

금속의 수소취화는 수소를 사용하는 설비의 안전성을 위협하는 중요한 문제이므로, 수소 환경에서 금속의 취화평가법에 관한 연구의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 수소사회를 대비하기 위하여 대용량의 수소공급방법에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 기존의 천연가스 배관을 통한 공급방안이 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배관 내부에 수소혼합가스가 흐르면 배관모재부 및 용접부의 손상이 우려되므로, 국내에 건설되어 운용되고 있는 X65 천연가스 배관의 모재부를 대상으로 수소취화 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 재료의 수소침투는 전기분극법을 사용하였으며 강도평가에는 소형펀치시험법을 사용하였다. 수소장입량의 증가에 따라서 금속의 강도가 저하되는 현상이 발견되는 재료도 있으나, 본 연구에 사용한 X65강의 모재부에서 수소취화의 영향은 거의 나타나지 않았으므로 수소영향에 의한 X65강 모재부의 강도저하는 발생하지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 소형펀치시험을 이용함으로써 금속재료의 수소취화에 의한 기계적 강도변화를 평가할 수 있었다.

This study is on the constant-current stress corrosion test related to the load stress in welded zone and non-welded zone of high tensile strength steel for natural gas transmission. The surface corrosion pattern of the welded zone of API 5L-X65 specimens for natural gas transmission showed global corrosion and narrow pitting, and the pitting was increased by increasing the load stress. Initially, the average relative electrode potential and the average relative current of the high tensile strength steel for natural gas transmission specimens was decreased suddenly, and the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower in welded zone than base metal. and the average relative electrode potential was decreased by increasing the load stress, and the average relative current was somewhat increased by increasing the load stress. The corrosion rate was less in welded zone than base metal, and the corrosion rate was decreased by increasing the load stress.
