Effects of Temperature and Crack Tip Constraint on Cleavage Fracture Toughness in the Weld Thermal Simulated X80 Pipeline Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies the effects of temperature and crack tip constraint on cleavage fracture toughness of the weld thermal simulated X80 pipeline steels. A large number of fracture toughness (as denoted by CTOD) tests together with 3D finite element analysis are performed using single edge notched bending (SENB) and tension (SENT) specimens at different temperatures. Coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) is considered as the material microstructure in preparation of the weld thermal simulated fracture mechanics specimens.
