Study on Cold Expansion Process of High Pressure Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

In high pressure water jet field, most components worked under very high fluctuated pressure. The high and fluctuated pressure would fail those components quickly, which leads to very short period of fatigue life for high pressure components. Cold expansion process could improve components fatigue properties greatly. This has been known for a while. By applying this process in high pressure field, much longer service time is expected. This paper investigated the cold expansion process experimentally. Based on micro-structure investigation, the strengthening mechanism has been explored.
