X80钢焊接接头在不同pH值土壤中的腐蚀电化学特征

高强度管线钢在油气管道长距离输送应用中埋地管道焊接接头处的腐蚀现象越发明显。为了探究高强度钢焊接接头在不同pH值土壤中的腐蚀行为,利用动电位极化及交流阻抗技术对X80钢焊接接头在库尔勒土壤模拟溶液中的电化学特征进行测定,并结合金相显微镜对其腐蚀形貌进行了观察。结果表明:随着土壤pH值的增大,X80钢焊接接头的腐蚀速率呈现逐渐减小的趋势;当模拟溶液为弱酸性环境时,腐蚀产物膜遭到破坏,加剧了Cl_-等腐蚀性离子对金属的腐蚀,试样电极表面腐蚀坑明显;当溶液为碱性环境时,腐蚀产物膜对材料起到一定的保护作用,金属腐蚀受到抑制;当溶液pH值为10.5时,电极表面出现了钝化膜,试样表面腐蚀现象不明显,只有几个微小的腐蚀坑存在。

激光冲击处理后X80焊接接头表面质量对腐蚀性能的影响

利用激光冲击波对X80管线钢焊接接头进行强化处理,用金相显微镜、光学轮廓仪分析激光冲击处理前后金相组织与表面粗糙度,并用应力测试仪测试了激光冲击处理前后残余应力和残余奥氏体的变化,分析了激光冲击波改善焊接接头表面质量的机理.结果表明,激光冲击处理后焊接接头表面晶粒细化,表面粗糙度有所提高;激光冲击处理形成了残余压应力,残余奥氏体向马氏体转化;激光冲击处理后表面粗糙度和残余奥氏体对慢拉伸性能的影响起主要作用,内积功下降3.8%;激光冲击处理后应力腐蚀敏感指数ISCC由50.94%下降至45.10%,残余压应力和晶粒细化是提高其抗应力腐蚀的主要机制.

Simulation of hydrogen diffusion in welded joint of X80 pipeline steel

Hydrogen diffusion coefficients of different regions in the welded joint of X80 pipeline steel were measured using the electro-chemical permeation technique. Using ABAQUS software, hydrogen diffusion in X80 pipeline steel welded joint was studied in consideration of the inhomogeneity of the welding zone, and temperature-dependent thermo-physical and mechanical properties of the metals. A three dimensional finite element model was developed and a coupled thermo-mechanical-diffusion analysis was performed. Hydrogen concentration distribution across the welded joint was obtained. It is found that the postweld residual hydrogen exhibits a non-uniform distribution across the welded joint. A maximum equivalent stress occurs in the immediate vicinity of the weld metal. The heat affected zone has the highest hydrogen concentration level, followed by the weld zone and the base metal.Simulation results are well consistent with theoretical analysis.
