摘要
Applying accurate material properties to failure assessment diagrams (FAD) for flaw assessment has been problematic, particularly for welded joints in structures such as natural gas pipeline. In a study of API X65-graded natural gas pipeline, we evaluated material properties such as tensile properties and fracture toughness for the base metal, weld metal and heat-affected zone (HAZ), and investigated the influence on flaw assessment of variations in material properties of three regions. In particular, microtensile tests and crack-tip-opening-displacement (CTOD) tests made it possible to construct an HAZ-focused FAD reflecting HAZ properties. It was found that, when crack-like flaws exist in the HAZ, the HAZ-focused FAD yields a more accurate assessment than FADs constructed according to current codes. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
