Failure Analysis of High Pressure Container using Fractography and Material Morphology

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-pressure gas containers must be able to withstand high internal pressures because they store compressed gases. Otherwise, cracks or defects may lead to an explosion, which may in turn lead to a large-scale disaster. Therefore, accurate analysis of the causes of cracks or defects and various techniques for detecting cracks or defects are needed. In this research, we analyzed the failure mechanism of a high-pressure gas container through fractography using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy and through measurements of their mechanical and chemical properties.
