Significant temperature variation during the delayed coking process causes damage in cracking. There were some studies on coke drums in the form of bulging and the fatigue life estimation for the coke drums, but most of them were based on strain-fatigue life curves at constant temperatures, which do not consider simultaneous cyclic temperature and mechanical loading conditions. In this study, a fatigue testing system is successfully devel- oped to allow performing thermal-mechanical fatigue （TMF） test similar to the coke drum loading condition. Two commonly used base and one clad materials of coke drums are then experimentally investigated. In addition, a comparative study between isothermal and TMF lives of these materials is conducted. The experimental findings lead to better understanding of the damage mechanisms occurring in coke drums and more accurate prediction of fatigue life of coke drum materials.展开更多

All experiments were carried out under total strain control with temperature cycling between 400-850℃. Both in-phase and out-of-phase TMF specimens exhibited cyclic hardening followed by cyclic softening at the minimum temperature. Besides, they cyclically hardened in the early stage of life followed by cyclic softening at the maximum temperature. OP TMF life was longer than that of IP TMF. Various damage mechanisms operating in different controlled strain ranges and phasing were discussed. A few life prediction methods for isothermal fatigue were used to handle TMF fatigue and their applicability to superalloy K417 was evaluated. The SEM analysis of the fracture surface showed that transgranular fracture was the principal cracking mode for both IP and OP TMF. Oxidation was the main damage mechanism in causing shorter fatigue life for IP TMF compared with OP TMF.展开更多

It is shown that thermal-mechanical cyclic stress-strain response behavior not only depend on magnitude of strain, and temperature-loading phase angle, but also strain ratio. Fatigue life at strain ratio Rε=-0.3 is longer than that of strain ratio Rε=-1.0, under in-phase thermal-mechanical loading. However, Fatigue life at strain ratio Rε=-0.3 is shorter than that of strain ratio Rε=-1.0, under out-of-phase thermal-mechanical loading. The thermal-mechanical fatigue (TMF) damage model was discussed. Results of fractography show that fatigue, creep and oxidation damage always occur during TMF. The main damage mode depends on loading wave, strain ratio and magnitude of strain.展开更多
