Fracture Analysis of Pipe Sleeve on Extrusion Flare-Less Pipe Joints for Aircraft Hydraulic Pipe

Abstract:

The forming process of aircraft hydraulic pipe joints is investigated through experiments and analyses to solve the cracking problem of pipe sleeve on extrusion flare-less pipe joints. It can be concluded that the internal cause of the fracture failure is connected with the content, shape and distribution of δ-ferrite in 0Cr12Mn5Ni4Mo3Al high strength stainless steel, and the external cause is associated with the bearing behavior in the extrusion-bulging process of pipe sleeve. The crack is formed in the criss-crossing section of δ-ferrite on the function of shear stress in the stress concentration position, which belongs to ductile deformed crack. It eventually induces the intergranular fracture of pipe sleeve along the long axis with the expanding of subsequent crack.
