Crystallographic Texture as a Factor Enabling Ductile Fracture Arrest in High Strength Pipeline Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Low ductile crack arrestability in a full-scale burst test of 1420 mm-diameter X80 steel line pipes was accompanied by a high intensity of fracture surface separation. The texture of the steel plates was studied using different techniques in order to evaluate the influence of {001} planes oriented parallel to the rolling plane on the separation intensity during fracture. Though no clear correlation between the content of {001} planes parallel to the rolling plane and intensity of separation was found, the local distribution of the {001}<110> texture component among the microstructure components was different in different steels providing long areas suitable for cleavage fracture parallel to the rolling plane in steel with low arrestability.
