Abstract

Most hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanisms involve interaction between hydrogen and dislocations. The interaction depends on dislocation density and time for hydrogen to diffuse. This study investigated the HE behaviour and determined the cleavage cracking characteristics of an X80 pipeline steel by carrying out slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests on specimens with different levels of pre-strain and at different strain rates in gaseous hydrogen and examination of the cracking and fracture and characteristics. Pre-straining history and a slower strain rate increased the tendency of the pipeline steel to HE. The current detailed fractographic examination of the tested specimens revealed that cracking occurred on the {112} and {110} slip planes in this pipeline steel. The terrace morphology was observed on the fracture surfaces and nearly parallel crystallographic cracks on the side surfaces. They were attributed to hydrogen promoted dislocation mobility on localized and preferred slip systems. Coalescence of these discrete cracks led to quasi-cleavage fracture of the specimens.

期刊介绍： Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants. The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome: • Pressure vessel engineering • Structural integrity assessment • Design methods • Codes and standards • Fabrication and welding • Materials properties requirements • Inspection and quality management • Maintenance and life extension • Ageing and environmental effects • Life management Of particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time. International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
