Initiation of stress corrosion cracking for pipeline steels in a carbonate-bicarbonate solution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The linearly increasing stress test (LIST) was used to study the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of a range of pipeline
steels in carbonate-bicarbonate solution under stress rate control at different applied potentials. Stress corrosion cracking,
at potentials below -800 mV(SCE), was attributed to hydrogen embrittlement. Stress corrosion cracking, in the potential range
from about-700 to -500 mV(SCE), was attributed to an anodic dissolution mechanism. In the anodic potential region, the SCC
initiation stress was larger than the yield stress and was associated with significant plastic deformation at the cracking
site. The relative SCC initiation resistance decreased with in-creasing yield strength. In the cathodic potential region,
the SCC initiation stress was smaller than the yield stress of steel; it was approximately equal to the stress at 0.1 pct
strain(@#@ Σ0.1pct) for all the steels. The original surface was more susceptible to SCC initiation than the polished surface. 相似文献

The corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of an Al-Mg alloy, AA5083, has been shown to depend on the
precipitation of the Mg-rich β phase, (Al3Mg2), but not the enrichment of elemental Mg at grain boundaries to an enrichment ratio of 1.4. These results were determined
by measuring the progress of Mg enrichment at grain boundaries, for increasing thermal-treatment times, using auger electron
spectroscopy (AES) of grain boundaries exposed by fracture within the spectrometer and by analytical electron microscopy (AEM)
of thin foils. The progress of the β phase precipitation was followed by AEM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), for the same thermal-treatment times. The
lack of a Mg-segregation effect on SCC was demonstrated by results obtained with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis
of Mg-implanted Al following in-situ electrochemical tests and SCC tests, while the dominance of β phase precipitation was demonstrated by electrochemical analysis and SCC testing. Crack-growth tests of alloy AA5083 demonstrated
faster cracking at potentials anodic to the open circuit potential (OCP) with no increase at potentials cathodic to the OCP. 相似文献

The severity of four different soil environments toward the development of near-neutral pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC)
of pipeline steel was evaluated using slow strain-rate testing (SSRT). These soils were collected from pipeline sites where
near-neutral pH SCC has been observed. It was demonstrated in this investigation that SSRT can differentiate the severity
of various soil electrolytes to near-neutral pH SCC. For different soils, the relative susceptibility was found to be determined
by the pH values of the soil electrolytes in equilibrium with a given CO2/N2 gas mixture. The higher the pH value up to ∼7, the more conducive the soil electrolyte was to near-neutral pH SCC. The pH
value in a soil electrolyte was found to depend on the level of CO2 in the soil solution and the initial HCO
3
−
concentration before the introduction of CO2. For a given soil, the susceptibility depends on the actual level of CO2 in the soil electrolyte. Higher levels of CO2 lower the pH in the soil electrolyte and tend to increase the susceptibility to SCC. In laboratory tests, cathodic polarization
was found to increase the susceptibility to failure, possibly by inhibiting general corrosion, which otherwise removed discrete
stress-raising pits and defects from the specimen surface that acted as crack initiation sites or by increasing the extent
of hydrogen-induced crack initiation or propagation. In the field, cathodic polarization is likely to prevent near-neutral
pH SCC by increasing the pH at the pipe surface to values greater than 7.5. The pH was maintained near-neutral in the lab
tests by continuous purging of the test solution with CO2/N2. A method is proposed for assessing the relative aggressiveness of various soil extracts to near-neutral pH SCC. Aggressive
soil extracts appear to exhibit a narrower variation in pH between solutions purged with N2 and with CO2 than that for less-aggressive soil extracts purged with the same gases. 相似文献

It has been reported that the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance (CR) of metallic alloys depend strongly on
the solidification microstructural arrangement. The correlation of corrosion behavior and mechanical properties with microstructure
parameters can be very useful for planning solidification conditions in order to achieve a desired level of final properties.
The aim of the present work is to investigate the influence of heat-transfer solidification variables on the microstructural
array of both Al 9 wt pct Si and Zn 27 wt pct Al alloy castings and to develop correlations between the as-cast dendritic
microstructure, CR, and tensile mechanical properties. Experimental results include transient metal/mold heat-transfer coefficient
(h
i), secondary dendrite arm spacing (λ2), corrosion potential (E
Corr), corrosion rate (i
Corr), polarization resistance (R
1), capacitances values (Z
CPE), ultimate tensile strength (UTS, σ
u
), yield strength (YS, σ
y
), and elongation. It is shown that σ
U
decreases with increasing λ2 while the CR increases with increasing λ2, for both alloys experimentally examined. A combined plot of CR and σ
U
as a function of λ2 is proposed as a way to determine an optimum range of secondary dendrite arm spacing that provides good balance between both
properties. 相似文献

Caustic Stress Corrosion Cracking of Mild Steel 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of cold worked mild steel in hot, aqueous, 33 pct NaOH solutions was studied
with prefatigue cracked double cantilever beam specimens. SCC kinetics were studied under freely corroding potentials (E
corr ≈ −1.00 VSHE) and potentiostatic potentials of −0.76 VSHE near the active-passive transition. The pH of the liquid within the crack was determined and fractography was studied by
scanning electron microscopy. Cracking was transgranular atE
corr, intergranular at −0.76 VSHE, and produced no detectable change in crack liquid pH from that of the bulk solution. Crack rates were dependent upon temperature,
potential, and stress intensity (K
1). The apparent activation energy in Region II, where crack growth rate was independent ofK, was ∼ 24kJ/mol for both cracking modes. This was considered to be due to mixed rate control involving activation polarization
and mass transport processes. The mechanism of cracking was entirely consistent with metal dissolution at –0.76 VSHE and may involve hydrogen embrittlement and/or dissolution effects atE
corr.

A new test specimen configuration, designated the T-notch double cantilever beam (TNDCB), was developed, calibrated and employed
for a fracture mechanics study of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of cold worked Type-316 austenitic stainless steel exposed
to hot aqueous solutions of 44.7 wt pct MgCl2. The effects of stress intensity (K
I
), temperature (T) and electrochemical potential (E) upon the crack velocity (v) and fractography were investigated. The stress intensity (K
ISCC
) below whichv became immeasurably small was ∼12 MN·m−3/2. Above this value, three regions of behavior were observed. Region I exhibitedK
I
dependent cracking followed by Region II which exhibitedK
I
independent cracking and an apparent activation energy of 63 to 67 kJ/mol, followed by Region III where cracking again became
dependent uponK
I
. The relative proportions of intergranular and transgranular crack paths were markedly dependent upon bothK
I
andE, and less sensitive toT. Crack velocity was insensitive to small changes inE with respect to the free corrosion potentials (E
corr), but could be terminated by an applied active potential of ∼−0.35 VSCE. The pH within the propagating crack was estimated to be <1.0 atE
corr, rising to ∼4.5 at −0.35 VSCE. The mechanism of SCC was discussed with respect to film rupture events caused by crack tip plastic deformation, adsorption
controlled processes on the metal surface, and hydrogen diffusion in the metal lattice.

The tensile properties, fracture toughness and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of HY-180 M steel at 22 °C were studied
after final 5 h overaging treatments >510 ≤650 °C. SCC tests were conducted for 1000 h with compact tension specimens in aqueous
3.5 pct NaCl solutions at a noble (anodic) potential of −0.28 VSHE ( −0.48 VAg/AgC1) and a cathodic protection potential of −0.80 VSHE (−1.0 VAg/AgC1). The SCC resistance improved at aging temperatures >565 °C, the most significant improvement being at −0.80 VShe, especially after 650 ° aging whereK
ISCC was raised to at least 110 MPa · m1/2. However, this was at the expense of mechanical properties. Provided low crack propagation rates of ∼3 X 10−11 m/s at −0.80V
SHEmay be tolerated, the best compromise between strength, toughness, and SCC resistance was obtained after 594 °C aging. Under
these conditions, stress intensities as high as ∼ 110 MPa · m1/2 can be used, with a yield strength of ∼ 1150 MPa and fracture toughness of ∼ 170 MPa · m1/2. The retained austenite content after aging increased with aging temperature up to 25 pct by vol at 650 °C. It appeared to
correlate with improved SCC resistance, but other microstructural effects associated with aging may be involved.

Stress corrosion cracking of HY-180M steel was studied at 22°C in an aqueous solution of 3.5 pct NaCl (pH = 6.5). The steel
had a nominal weight percentage composition of 10Ni-14Co-2Cr-lMo-0.16C and was heat treated to yield a fracture toughness
value ofK
Ic ≃ 160 MPa . m1/2. The SCC velocity (v) was studied as a function of stress intensity (K
I) and electrochemical potential (E) using precracked compact tension specimens, a Ag/AgCl reference electrode and a 1000 h exposure test. Also, the polarization
behavior, microstructure, fractography and corrosion products were studied. The results showed that SCC was markedly dependent
uponE, and did not occur whenE =-0.52 VSHE (-0.72 VAg/AgCl), which corresponded closely to the thermodynamically reversible potential of iron. However, SCC occurred at a more noble
potential of-0.28 VSHE (-0.48 VAg/AgCl ) and at a less noble potential of-0.80 VSHE (-1.00 VAg/AgCl). The stress intensity below which SCC was not observed was KISCC ≃ 5.5 MPa . m1/2 at -0.28 VSHE and KISCC ≃ 60 MPa . m1/2 at -0.80 VSHE . Also, Region I behavior (v dependent uponK
1) and Region II behavior (v independent ofK
1) were observed. Cracking was considered to occur solely by hydrogen embrittlement at -0.80 Vshe, whereas anodic dissolution
processes played a necessary role, either directly or indirectly, in SCC at -0.28 VSHE . The indirect effects were discussed in relation to hydrolysis effects in the crack promoting hydrogen embrittlement and/or
corrosion product wedging stresses. 相似文献

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of two aluminum-lithium alloys, a binary AlLi and a ternary AlLiCu alloy, in 0.5 M NaCl solution was investigated using the constant elongation rate technique (CERT). Susceptibility increased with decreasing strain rate and with aging. The alloys were susceptible under both anodic and cathodic applied potentials. The susceptibility dependence of the alloys as a function of applied potential correlates well with published hydrogen permeability data. The susceptibility increased dramatically when hydrogen was charged into the specimen using a hydrogen re-combination “poison” during CERT testing. These experiments suggest that hydrogen plays a major role in the SCC of these alloys. A brittle hydride having the composition LiAlH4 forms in the AlLi system under conditions of severe SCC susceptibility. The brittleness of the hydride is explained. The formation of the hydride is a sufficient condition for SCC of AlLi alloys. A process of SCC in AlLi alloys is proposed wherein hydrogen causes damage by the formation of a hydride. 相似文献

A fracture mechanics and fractographic study of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of heat treated HY-180 M steel was undertaken
over the temperature range 22 to 95 °C at applied potentials of −0.28 VSHE (−0.48 VAg/AgCl) and −0.80 VSHE (−1.0 VAg/Agcl). Particular attention was directed toward Region II behavior, where crack propagation rates were independent of stress intensity(K
l). Region II rates were always higher at the less noble potential of −0.80 VSHE than at the more noble potential of — 0.28 VSHE. However, fractography studies suggested that the basic mechanism of cracking at both potentials was the same, and involved
hydrogen embrittlement. An Arrhenius analysis of Region II rates showed that crack propagation was under the control of more
than one process. Consequently, the mechanistic details remained obscure.

Near-Neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking Susceptibility of Plastically Prestrained X70 Steel Weldment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Baotong Lu Jing-Li Luo Douglas G. Ivey 《Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A》2010,41(10):2538-2547
The application of strain-based design for pipelines requires comprehensive understanding of the postyield mechanical behavior
of materials. In this article, the impact of plastic prestrain on near-neutral pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility
of welded X70 steel was investigated with a slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) test. Generally, plastic prestrain reduces the
SCC resistance in various welded zones. The SCC susceptibility of the test materials can be put in the following order: heat-affected
zone (HAZ) > weld metal (WM) > base metal (BM). Fractographic analysis indicates that there are two cracking modes, mode I
and mode II, during SSRT tests. Mode I cracks propagate along the direction perpendicular to the maximum tensile stress, and
mode II cracks lie in planes roughly parallel to the plane where the maximum shear exists. The SCC of the BM is governed by
mode I cracking and fracture of the HAZ, and the WM is dominated by mode II cracking. Damage analysis shows that the detrimental
impact of plastic prestrain on the residual SCC resistance cannot be evaluated with the linear superposition model. A plastic
prestrain sensitivity, a material constant independent of plastic prestrain, is proposed to characterize the susceptibility
of SCC resistance to plastic prestrain, and it increases with the SCC susceptibility of the steels. The enhanced SCC susceptibility
caused by plastic prestrain may be related to an increase in yield strength. The correlation of the ratio of the reduction
in area in NS4 solution to that in air (RA
SCC/RA
air) with the yield strength is microstructure dependent. 相似文献

Stress corrosion cracking of HY-180 steel (Fe-10 Ni-2 Cr-1 Mo-8 Co-0.12 C) was studied in aqueous 3.5 pct NaCI (pH = 6.5)
at 22 °C. The alloy was austenitized, water quenched and aged at 510 °C for 5 h. Specimens were of the precracked, double
cantilever beam (DCB) variety and exposure times extended up to 1000 h. The crack propagation rates (v) were studied as a
function of stress intensity(K,) under both freely corroding potentials(E ≈-0.36 VSHE) and potentials produced by coupling to Zn(E ≈ -0.82 VSHE. Crack fractography was studied by scanning electron microscopy and corrosion products were identified by electron diffraction
analysis. The stress intensity, KISCC, below which SCC could not be detected was ~45 MPa m1/2 for both freely corroding and Zn-coupled conditions. Analysis of the results showed that cracking was consistent with a hydrogen
embrittlement mechanism, irrespective of potential. Furthermore, comparison of the data with previous studies on a similarly
heat treated and closely related alloy (HY-180 M), containing 14 Co-0.16 C, showed no significant difference in SCC behavior,
provided comparison was made at similar electrochemical potentials. 相似文献

The intermediate-temperature embrittlement of a hot-rolled ferritic spheroidal graphite cast iron was studied with the consideration
that triaxial stress is induced by the ellipsoidal graphite particles of three unequal axial radii. The graphite shape was
changed by various rolling reductions, and the tensile tests were performed at 673 K. The results show that the elongation
and flow stress are independent of rolling reduction, and intergranular fracture occurs in all specimens. In the plasticity
analysis, the triaxiality ratio (σ
m
σeq) at a point in the ferrite matrix center can be expressed in terms of graphite shape ratio (b
d
) and graphite interparticle spacing (2a
d
) as σ
m
/σeq = 1/3 +a
d
/(2b
d
) where σ
m
is the hydrostatic tensile stress and σeq is the equivalent stress. Accordingly, the average triaxiality ratio in the matrix center region is independent of rolling
reduction and greater than one, a result that is consistent with the fact that the elongation is about constant, and all specimens
undergo intergranular fracture. Moreover, the rolling reduction independent flow-stress behavior can be rationalized by the
analytical result that the average σ
m
/σeq is unchanged with rolling reduction, where σ
z
is the internal stress along the tensile direction. 相似文献

The slow strain-rate stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Admiralty brass sheet in an aqueous 0.1M CuSO4 solution has been studied over a range of strain paths from uniaxial to equibiaxial tension. At a constant bulk solution
pH and open circuit potential, the brass undergoes transgranular SCC characterized by cleavage-like cracks propagating on
a macroscopic plane normal to the maximum principal strain axis for all strain paths. The average crack growth velocity is
also independent of deformation path. It is thus concluded that the mechanism of transgranular SCC in this system does not
depend on multiaxial strain path for the range of stress states examined. However, the fracture strain data show that the
slow strain-rate SCC of the brass sheet results in ductility losses which are much larger in equibiaxial tension than in either
uniaxial or plane strain tension. This behavior is attributed to stress corrosion cracks acting as linear imperfections whose
presence causes failure of the uncracked ligament by a form of localized necking and whose influence is dependent not only
on time but also on strain path. 相似文献

The electrode potential distribution along a crack in a potentiostatically polarized specimen has been derived analytically
by including polarization behavior and solution conductance considerations. The analysis has been applied to the stress corrosion
cracks within low alloy steels in an 8M sodium hydroxide solution at 373 K and shows that the electrode potential at the tip
falls to the normal equilibrium corrosion potential as the crack length increases. These results show that potentiostatic
control at the tip of a stress corrosion crack is subject to large varying systematic errors. Consequently the validity of
stress corrosion mechanisms based on potentiostatically controlled crack growth measurements which do not take into account
such errors should be reexamined.

The aqueous environment-assisted cracking (EAC) behavior of two peak-aged beta-titanium alloys was characterized with a fracture
mechanics method. Beta-21S is susceptible to EAC under rising load in neutral 3.5 pct NaCl at 25 °C and −600 mVSCE, as indicated by a reduced threshold for subcritical crack growth (K
TH
), an average crack growth rate of up to 10 μms, and intergranular fracture compared to microvoid rupture in air. In contrast,
the initiation fracture toughness (K
ICi
) of Ti-15-3 in moist air is lower than that of Beta-21S at similar high σYS (1300 MPa) but is not degraded by chloride, and cracking is by transgranular microvoid formation. The intergranular EAC susceptibility
of Beta-21S correlates with both α-colonies precipitated at β grain boundaries and intense slip localization; however, the
causal factor is not defined. Data suggest that both features, and EAC, are promoted by prolonged solution treatment at high
temperature. In a hydrogen environment embrittlement (HEE) scenario, crack-tip H could be transported by planar slip bands
to strongly binding trap sites and stress/strain concentrations at α colony or β grain boundaries. The EAC in Beta-21S is
eliminated by cathodic polarization (to −1000 mVSCE), as well as by static loading for times that otherwise produce rising-load EAC. These beneficial effects could relate to
reduced H production at the occluded crack tip during cathodic polarization and to increased crack-tip passive film stability
or reduced dislocation transport during deformation at slow crack-tip strain rates. High-strength β-titanium alloys are resistant,
but not intrinsically immune to chloride EAC, with processing condition possibly governing fracture.

−1/2 The lattice friction stress, σ0∈, increased linearly with plastic strain over nearly the full strain range. The lattice friction stress for the initiation
of plastic flow, σ0y, was evaluated using two alternative double extrapolation procedures. Both extrapolation techniques, which involved the macrostrain
behavior, gave the same σ0y value of 3.4 kg/mm2, which agreed with the σ0∈ value determined directly in the microstrain region (∈ <-10-3). Large grain size specimens, which yielded homogeneously, exhibited a kx2208; value of only 0.2 kg/mm3/2 at a plastic strain of 1 × 10-5; however this small kx2208; increased rapidly with increasing microstrain. For the small grain size specimens, which yielded via a Luders extension,kε was essentially constant at 0.8 kg/mm3/2 for all microstrains; however, kx03B5; did increase in the macrostrain region to a maximum value of 1.6 kg/mm3/2. When consideration was given to a grain size dependent increase in dislocation density, an intrinsic grain boundary resistance
to plastic flow of approximately 0.7 kg/mm3/2 was obtained.
