The inhibition ability of N,N-bis(2,4-dihydroxyhydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine (DHBP) as a schiff base against the corrosion of API-5L-X65 steel in 1 M HCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance studies indicated that DHBP inhibited corrosion by blocking the active corrosion sites. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations. EIS data was analysed to equivalent circuit model and showed that the charge transfer resistance of steel increased with increasing inhibitor concentration whilst the double layer capacitance decreased. The adsorption of this compound obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Gibbs free energy of adsorption was calculated and indicated that adsorption occurred through physical and spontaneous process. The corrosion inhibition mechanism was studied by potential of zero charge. Polarization studies indicated that DHBP retards both the cathodic and anodic reactions through adsorption on steel surface. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the steel surface with and without inhibitor.

This study aims at manufacturing SA welded API-X70 line-pipe with sour gas resistance. A pipe was manufactured by JCO bending process and SA welding using the API-X70 plate guaranteed HIC resistance. SA welded pipe was expanded in order to reduce the residual stress. The evaluation of a pipe for resistance to HIC and SSCC were performed by the RS D 0004 and RS D 0005 standards. For verification that a pipe has acceptable resistance to HIC, fullscale test was carried out. Results showed no cracking for the HIC and SSCC.

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.

Variations in the microstructure and mechanical properties of API X70 steel processed by piping, electrical resistance welding (ERW), and post seam annealing (PSA) are investigated in this study. In the welding zone, some elongated pearlites are formed and grains coarsening occurs due to extra heat caused by the ERW and PSA processes. After the piping, the base metal shows continuous yielding behavior and a decrease in yield and impact strengths because mobile dislocation and back stress are introduced during the piping process. On the other hand, the ERW and PSA processes additionally decreased the impact strength of welding zone at room and low temperatures because some elongated pearlites easily act as crack initiation site and coarse ferrite grains facilitate crack propagation. As a result, the fracture surface of the welding zone specimen tested at low temperature revealed mostly cleavage fracture unlike the base metal specimen.

Accurate measurement of K_IC values for gas pipeline steels is important for assessing pipe safety using failure assessment diagrams. As direct measurement of K_IC was impossible for the API X70 pipeline steel, multi-specimen fracture tests were conducted to measure J_IC using three-point bend geometry. The J values were calculated from load-displacement (F-δ) plots, and the associated crack extensions were measured from the fracture surface of test specimens. Valid data points were found for the constructed J-Δa plot resulting in J_IC=356kN/m. More data points were added analytically to the J-Δa plot to increase the number of data points without performing additional experiments for different J-Δa zones where test data was unavailable. Consequently, displacement (δ) and crack-growth (Δa) from multi-specimen tests (with small displacements) were used simultaneously, resulting in the variation of Δa-δ (crack growth law) and δ-Δa obtained for this steel. For new Δa values, corresponding δ values were first calculated from δ-Δa. Then, corresponding J values for the obtained δ values were calculated from the area under the F-δ record of a full-fractured specimen (with large displacement). Given Δa and J values for new data points, the developed J-Δa plot with extra data points yielded a satisfactory estimation of J_IC=345kN/m with only a -3.1% error. This is promising and showed that the developed technique could ease the estimation of J_IC significantly and reduce the time and cost of expensive extra fracture toughness tests.

본 논문에서는 파이프라인에서 사용되는 API 5L 철강의 중심선 편석에 대해 다루고자 한다. Mn/S와 Nb 그리고 C는 파이프 두께 방향으로의 중심선에서 편석되는 요소로 알려져 있다. Mn은 일반적으로 긴 점성상을 이루는 S를 동반한다. 중심선의 미세조직은 MnS와 산소를 포함한 Nb/Ti로 구성되어 있는데 이 중심선 지역의 편석효과를 OM, SEM/EDS 및 마이크로비커스 경도기로 분석하였다. Mn, Nb 및 C는 오스테나이트가 페라이트 또는 마르텐사이트로 변태하는 것을 억제시키는 원소이다. 이러한 원소들은 마르텐사이트의 한 종류인 베이나이트 미세조직을 만들 수 있는데 이는 용융 및 열처리에서 얻어지는 중심선과 매트릭스 간의 원소 편석과는 다르다.

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.

Wheel test and potentiodynamic polarization methods were used to evaluate the relative effectiveness of some hydrogen sulfide corrosion inhibitors for the wet gas pipeline API 5L grade X 65 steel. Five commercially corrosion inhibitors have been studied in the deoxygenated produced water solutions containing 10 ppm and 100 ppm of hydrogen sulfide. Based on the experiment results the steel corrosion inhibition mechanism in discussed and two most effective corrosion inhibitors are selected.

This study deals with the effect of microstructure factors on the strain aging properties of API X70 pipeline steels with different microstructure fractions and grain sizes. The grain size and microstructure fraction of the API pipeline steels are analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction analysis. Tensile tests before and after 1 % pre-strain and thermal aging treatment are conducted to simulate pipe forming and coating processes. All the steels are composed mostly of polygonal ferrite, acicular ferrite, granular bainite, and bainitic ferrite. After 1 % pre-strain and thermal aging treatment, the tensile test results reveal that yield strength, tensile strength and yield ratio increase, while uniform elongation decreases with an increasing thermal aging temperature. The increment of yield and tensile strengths are affected by the fraction of bainitic ferrite with high dislocation density because the mobility of dislocations is inhibited by interaction between interstitial atoms and dislocations in bainitic ferrite. On the other hand, the variation of yield ratio and uniform elongation is the smallest in the steel with the largest grain size because of the decrease in the grain boundary area for dislocation pile-ups and the presence of many dislocations inside large grains after 1 % pre-strain.
