As tubulações trabalham em ambiente altamente corrosivo e estão sujeitas à deformação plástica, o que altera as propriedades mecânicas do aço. Com isso é necessário avaliar a integridade da tubulação em serviço. Para tanto retirou-se amostras de uma tubulação do aço de baixo carbono API 5L X65, um dos mais utilizados pela indústria do petróleo e gás para fabricação de tubulações de transporte. As amostras foram deformadas plasticamente em 0,5%; 1,0%; 1,5%; 2,0% e 2,5% por meio de um ensaio de tração. A microestrutura das amostras deformadas foi caracterizada, através da microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura, apresentando uma matriz de ferrita – perlita fina. Uma nova análise microestrutural foi realizada após os ensaios de corrosão, indicando que o aço sofre um processo de corrosão generalizada. Para avaliar o comportamento corrosivo foram realizados testes laboratoriais de imersão e eletroquímicos para caracterizar o processo corrosivo em solução ácida contendo 3% de cloreto de sódio. O teste de imersão teve a finalidade de comparar a perda de massa de uma amostra sem deformação plástica e outra com deformação plástica de 2,5%. Os resultados indicaram que não há diferença significativa entre as amostras. Utilizou se as técnicas eletroquímicas de OCP, polarização de Tafel, EIS e Permeação de hidrogênio, em todas as técnicas verificou-se que o processo de corrosão é uniforme. O processo de corrosão não apresentou variação significativa devido à deformação plástica, porém indicou que a deformação plástica aumenta a suscetibilidade à permeação de hidrogênio no aço. / This work aims to investigate the influence of plastic deformation on the corrosive behavior of pipelines in acidic environment containing sodium chloride. The pipelines work in a highly corrosive environment and are subject to plastic deformation, which alters the steel’s mechanical properties. Therefore, integrity assessment of a pipeline in service is necessary. For this purpose, samples were taken from a pipeline of API 5L X65 low carbon steel, one of the most used by the oil and gas industry to manufacture transport pipelines. The samples were plastically deformed in 0.5%; 1.0%; 1.5%; 2.0% and 2.5% by a tensile test. The microstructure of deformed samples was characterized by optical and scanning electronic microscopy, presenting a fine ferrite and pearlite matrix. A new microstructural analysis was performed after the corrosion tests, indicating that the corrosion process is uniform. The corrosive behavior was assessed by laboratory immersion and electrochemical tests to characterize the corrosive process in acid solution containing sodium chloride 3%. The immersion test was used to compare the mass loss between a sample without plastic deformation and another 2,5% plastic deformed. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between the samples. It was used the OCP, polarization of Tafel, EIS and Hydrogen Permeation electrochemical techniques, all techniques showed a uniform corrosion process. The corrosion process did not present significant variation due to the plastic deformation, however it indicated that the plastic deformation increases the susceptibility to the hydrogen permeation in the steel.

Friction stir welding (FSW) of HSLA steel commonly produces a hard zone (HZ) on the advancing side (AS) of the weld. Despite its detrimental effects on weld toughness, the mechanisms of its formation have not been thoroughly investigated and are not well understood. This paper investigates the various mechanisms in FSW believed to affect the weld HZ, namely: strain, strain-rate, peak temperature and cooling rate. Gleeble tests indicate that strain and strain rate have negligible effects on weld HZ with cooling rate and peak temperature as dominant effects. Jominy tests resulted in cooling rate having 270% greater influence than peak temperature on the formation of lath ferrite microstructures similar to what is observed in the HZ of FSW X65. Comparing weld HZ microstructures to Jominy tests, it is estimated that cooling rates on the AS of the weld are at least 150°C/s higher than the retreating side. Reducing the cooling rate on the AS will likely lead to an improved microstructure at the weld HZ.

Les standards consacrés à la conception des oléoducs se concentrent principalement sur les chargements opérationnels, tels que les pressions internes et externes, et les procédures d'analyse de défauts actuelles n'exploitent pas les capacités d'écrouissage du matériau. Pourtant, dans des conditions extrêmes, les oléoducs peuvent être soumis à des contraintes au-delà de la limite d'élasticité jusqu'à atteindre 2.5% de déformations plastiques. Ici, les procédures proposées par ExxonMobil et PRCI basées sur des critères en déformation sont présentées, et l'utilisation de l'éprouvette SENT (Single Edge Notched Tension) pour caractériser la ténacité est étudiée, en comparant les différentes procédures d'essais recommandées. Puis, une importante campagne expérimentale a été réalisée pour caractériser deux aciers pour oléoducs à température ambiante et à basses températures. Les comportements mécaniques des matériaux de base et d'apport ont été identifiés grâce à l'utilisation de l'analyse inverse, et il est montré que le modèle d'endommagement GTN permet de modéliser finement les essais sur éprouvettes de laboratoire. Enfin, deux essais sur structures (pression et flexion, puis pression et traction) ont été réalisés de manière à comparer les approches globales et le modèle d'endommagement GTN. Ce dernier démontre une bonne transférabilité de l'éprouvette vers la structure. / Pipeline design codes and standards traditionally focus on the operational loadings such as internal and external pressures that are likely to exist over the entire lifetime of the pipeline. Existing Engineering Critical Assessments are mostly based on stress considerations, where the design margin is given as a percentage of the yield strength. In extrem environments, pipelines may experience stresses beyond the yield and plastic deformations up to 2.5 %. In such conditions, strain-based design procedures apply. In this work, a literature review of the existing strain based methods is proposed, including ExxonMobil and PRCI multi-tier approaches. The use of the Single Edge Notched Tension (SENT) specimen to measure the material toughness is then studied, benchmarking the recommended testing procedures from literature. A comprehensive experimental campaign was carried out to fully characterize two actual line pipes at room and low temperatures. The mechanical behavior of parent and weld materials are identified using an inverse analysis, and GTN damage model is shown to allow accurate modeling of the laboratory testings. Finally, two full scale tests (pressure + bending or pressure + tension) were carried out to benchmark the global approaches and GTN damage model. The latter showed a very good transferability from specimens to the structure.

Devanathan e Stachurski (1962) desenvolveram a técnica eletroquímica de permeação de hidrogênio em metais e ligas, tornando o estudo mais prático, esta metodologia se baseia em uma dupla célula eletroquímica dispostas simetricamente onde o metal a ser estudado é inserido entre elas. Uma delas conhecida como célula de carga irá gerar o H2 a ser permeado através do corpo de prova e na outra, conhecida como célula de detecção, o mesmo será oxidado e quantificado seu fluxo. Toda a detecção é realizada potenciostaticamente, mas a geração pode ser realizada por meio galvanostático (método galvanostático-potenciostático), potenciostacamente (método duplo-potenciostático) ou por permeação em circuito aberto em meio ácido, chamado de „PCAA‟. As normas ASTM 148-97 (2003) e ISO 17081 (2004) padronizam os experimentos de permeação eletroquímica de hidrogênio. Como os diferentes métodos são baseados em soluções de contorno diferenciados para solução da segunda lei de Fick, tais normas não levam isto em consideração adotando o cálculo da difusividade do hidrogênio apenas pelo método duplo potenciostático, mesmo para aqueles que estudam o fenômeno, diga-se de passagem, em sua grande maioria, utilizando a metodologia galvanostático-potenciostático. Autores como McBreen et al (1966) e Boes & Zuchner (1972) descrevem o fenômeno de permeação de hidrogênio em metais de forma matemática, a partir da solução da segunda de lei de Fick, estes trabalhos atestam a diferença entre os métodos duplo-potenciostatico e galvanostático-potenciostático, porém nunca foi proposto um modelo que descreva o comportamento do método PCAA. Com isso, o trabalho tem como objetivo elucidar o emprego dos modelos matemáticos para determinação do coeficiente de difusão do hidrogênio em metais através das distintas técnicas eletroquímicas de permeação, utilizando os aços API 5L X70 e X65, além disto procurou-se um modelo matemático para o caso em que a geração de hidrogênio seja realizada pelo método PCAA. Neste trabalho atesta-se que que o uso das equações proposta pela norma, a princípio, subestimam o valor da difusividade. A equação proposta para o método PCAA, apresentou um perfeito ajuste de dados experimentais de permeação. A correlação proposta para o cálculo da difusividade mostrou-se coerente para estimar este parâmetro, não só para o caso PCAA, como também para todos os casos. / Since its discovery in 1864 by Cailletet, hydrogen embrittlement of metals, was subjected to numerous investigations, first being studied with the injection of gaseous hydrogen in metals and alloys. Devanathan and Stachurski (1962) developed the electrochemical technique of hydrogen permeation in metals and alloys, making it the study more practical this methodology is based on a dual symmetrically arranged electrochemical cell where the metal to be studied is inserted between them. One known as load cell will generate H2 to be permeated through the specimen and the other, known as the detection cell, it will be oxidized and its flow quantified. All detection is performed potentiostaticly, but the generation can be performed by galvanostatic (galvanostaticpotentiostatic method), potentiostaticly (double- potentiostatic method), or by hydrogen permeation on acid environment method known as a PCAA. The regulations ASTM 148-97 (2003) and ISO 17081 (2004) standardize the electrochemical hydrogen permeation experiments. How different methods are based on different workarounds for solution of the second Fick's law, such rules do not take this into account by adopting the calculation of the hydrogen diffusivity only by the dual voltage method, even for those who study the phenomenon, say passing for the most part, using the galvanostatic-potentiostatic methodology. Authors such as McBreen et al (1966) and Boes & Züchner (1972) describe the hydrogen permeation phenomenon in mathematical form of metal from the solution of the second Fick law, these works attest to the difference between the double-potentiostatic methods and galvanostatic-potentiostatic, but has never proposed a model that describes the behavior of the PCAA method. Thus, the study aims to elucidate the use of mathematical models to determine the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in metals through the different electrochemical techniques permeation using the API 5L steels X70 and X65, in addition sought a mathematical model for the case where the hydrogen generation is performed by the PCAA method. This work testifies that the use of the equations proposed by the standard at first underestimate the value of diffusivity. The equation proposed for the PCAA method, presented a perfect fit experimental permeation data. The proposed correlations for calculating the diffusivity was found to be consistent to estimate this parameter not only to the case PCAA, but also for all cases.

The work is concerned with the development of a multi-stage corrosion fatigue lifetime model, with emphasis on pitting as a precursor to cracking. The model is based upon the quantitative evaluation of damage during the overall corrosion fatigue process. The fatigue response of as-received API 5L X65 linepipe steel has been investigated in terms of the evolution of damage during pit development, pit-to-crack transition and crack propagation. Micro-potentiostatic polarisation was conducted to evaluate role of stress on pit development. Crack growth rate measurements were conducted on pre-pitted specimens, which were tested in air and brine, to evaluate the initiation and propagation behaviour of cracks emanating from artificial pits. Finite element analysis was undertaken to evaluate the stress and strain distribution associated with the pits. A cellular automata finite element model was also developed for predicting corrosion fatigue damage. Pit growth rate was enhanced under stress. It was considered that the strain localisation effect of the pit facilitated strain-assisted dissolution. In air, cracks initiated predominantly from the pit mouth. FEA results indicated that this was due to localisation of strain towards the pit mouth. In corrosion fatigue, cracks tended to initiate at the pit base at low stress and at the pit mouth at higher stresses. Crack initiation lifetimes were shorter in the aggressive environment compared to air and the effect of the environment on crack initiation lifetime was lower at higher stress levels. Crack initiation lifetime for double pits generally decreased with decreasing pit-to-pit separation distance. The microstructure was observed to influence crack growth behaviour in air particularly in the early stages when cracks were short. The acceleration and retardation in crack growth were attributed to the resistance of grain boundaries to crack advance. Cracks sometimes arrested at these barriers and became non-propagating. Introduction of the environment for a short period appear to eliminate the resistance of the microstructural barriers thus promoting re-propagation of the previously arrested crack. The continued crack propagation after the removal of the environment suggests that the influence of the environment is more important in the early stages of crack growth. Crack growth rates were higher in the aggressive environment than in air. The degree of environmental enhancement of crack growth was found to be greater at lower stress levels and at short crack lengths. Oxide-induced crack closure and crack coalescence were two mechanisms that also affected crack growth behaviour.2-D cellular automata finite element simulation results, with and without stress, show good agreement agreed with experiments i.e. pit depth and pit aspect ratio increase with time. Results from 3-D cellular automata simulations of pits are also consistent with experiments. Fatigue lifetimes were significantly shorter (i) in the brine environment than in air and (ii) for specimens with double pits compared to single pits of similar depth. Fatigue strength in air was found to decrease with increasing pit depth. Corrosion fatigue lifetimes predicted based upon the developed model showed good agreement with the experimental lifetimes.
