The martensitic P91 steel (9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb) has been developed for ultra-supercritical pressure application in steam power plants. The creep rupture strength of the welded joint of this steel is limited by the fine-grained region of its heat affected zone (HAZ). The factors which result in the reduction of the creep rupture strength of the fine-grained region of HAZ were discussed. It was found that the most effective factor reducing the creep rupture strength of the fine-grained region of the HAZ of the welded joint of P91 steel, in comparison with other regions of the welded joint, is the finer prior austenite grain size. These fine prior austenite grains of the fine-grained region of the HAZ accelerate the rate of growth of martensite lath subgrains which results in a softer martensite matrix. The minimum creep rate dependence on applied stress for base metal, welded joints and the samples simulating the fine-grained region of the welded joints was described by means of the conventional power-law equation. The experimental results, both in the form of strain versus time creep curves and of minimum creep rate versus time creep curves were used to study the creep behavior of the welded joints of P91 steel at 600 degrees C.

Probabilistic finite element-based reliability of corroded pipelines with interacting corrosion cluster defects

Abraham Mensah, Srinivas Sriramula

Summary: This paper proposes a pathway for developing efficient performance functions to evaluate the probability of failure for interacting pipeline corrosion clustering defects using a probabilistic finite element-based reliability method. The framework reduces computational cost and offers informed decision-making on risk and maintenance management.

A semi-analytical model to predict residual stress distribution in thick wall girth weld with narrow gap welding

Baozhu Zhang, Wenchun Jiang, Yun Luo, Wei Peng, Yingjie Qiao

Summary: This paper studies the distribution of residual stress in thick wall girth welds using narrow-gap welding. The study finds that the heat input, wall thickness, radius thickness ratio, and number of welding passes have an effect on residual stress. A model for the distribution of welding residual stress through the wall thickness is proposed, and its results are in good agreement with finite element calculation results.

Experimental research of stress state and residual stresses of the hydropower pipeline branch model

Stefan Culafic, Darko Bajic, Tasko Maneski

Summary: This paper presents experimental research on a branch model conducted in laboratory conditions. The study verifies the linear relationship between stress and internal pressure in the field of elasticity and reveals the occurrences when stresses exceed the yield strength of the branch material, such as plastic deformations of the branch model. The research also defines the dependence of stress on internal pressure in both the field of elasticity and the zone of residual stresses.

Residual stress and microstructure control in welding of SA508 low alloy steel

Wenchun Jiang, Wenlu Xie, Xinyue Qi, Yangguang Deng, Yu Wan, Xuefang Xie

Summary: Various types of solid-state phase transformations (SSPT) occur during the SA508 steel welding process, leading to complex microstructure distribution and significant influence on residual stress distribution. To better control microstructure and residual stress, optimization of process parameters related to welding thermal cycles is necessary.
