Tubes’ Rupture at Faulty Fusion of Welding Seam

Abstract:

In the straight-seam tubes, the appearance of defects in the area of the welding seam welded under the flux layer and the seam geometry are closely related to the technology and metallurgy of welding process. Possible defects are the pores, incisions, slag inclusions and cracks. The pores can appear in different shapes, with different distribution and in different amounts during the solidification of welding seam. When molten metal solidifies, the gas bubbles can come to the surface or remain inside the metal. The incisions may occur due to the fact that the juncture is not completely filled. Such incisions, passing most often along the edge of welding seam, are explained by the discrepancy between the amount of metal deposited per unit of time and the volume of the juncture. The occurrence of the slag inclusions is determined by the metallurgical reactions between the slag and the drop, separating from the end of the electrode, as well as the bath of molten metal. The cracks differ depending on the size, the nature of location and the causes. There are the macro-cracks and micro-cracks, the hot and cold cracks. In this paper the critical in-tube pressure, at which the destruction of tube occurs at the partial faulty fusion of the tube’s welding seam, is obtained. The results can be used in the diagnosis of the causes of the destruction of the steel large-diameter tubes of the main gas-oil tube-lines.
