Effects of specimen thickness and notch shape on fracture mode appearing in drop weight tear test (DWTT) specimens of API X70 and X80 linepipe steels were investigated. Detailed microstructural analysis of fractured DWTT specimens showed that the fractures were initiated in normal cleavage mode near the specimen notch, and that some separations were observed at the center of the fracture surfaces. The Chevron-notch (CN) DWTT specimens had broader normal cleavage surfaces than the pressed-notch (PN) DWTT specimens. Larger inverse fracture surfaces appeared in the PN DWTT specimens because of the higher fracture initiation energy at the notch and the higher strain hardening in the hammer-impacted region. The number and length of separations were larger in the CN DWTT specimens than in the PN DWTT specimens, and increased with increasing specimen thickness due to the plane strain condition effect. As the test temperature decreased, the tendency to separations increased, but separations were not found when the cleavage fracture prevailed at very low temperatures. The DWTT test results, such as upper shelf energy and energy transition temperature, were discussed in relation with microstructures and fracture modes including cleavage fracture, shear fracture, inverse fracture, and separations.

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.

The present article showcases a temperature dependent cohesive zone model (CZM)-based fi nite element simulation of drop weight tear test (DWTT), to analyse fracture behavior of pipeline steel (PS) at different temperatures. By co-relating the key CZM parameters with known mechanical properties of PS at varying temperature, a temperature dependent CZM for PS is proposed. A modified form of Johnson and Cook model has been used for the true stress-strain behavior of PS. The numerical model, using Abaqus/CAE 6.13, has been validated by comparing the predicted results with load-displacement curves obtained from test data. During steady-state crack propagation, toughness parameters (such as CTOA and CTOD) were found to remain fairly constant at a given temperature. These toughness parameters, however, show an exponential increase with increase in temperature. The present paper offers a plausible approach to numerically analyze fracture behavior of PS at varying temperature using a temperature dependent CZM.
