Chemical Composition Of Steel

During inspection and maintenance operations, pipeline operators may encounter pipes showing incomplete records. However, data such as pipe tensile properties and toughness are essential to perform a realistic pipeline fitness for service analysis. These situations most often occur with older pipelines, in a period where line pipe quality control and quality assessment were not as stringent as today. In order to avoid a cut and a replacement of the pipe, introducing transit interruption and high expenses for the operator, a methodology for determining mechanical properties has been developed. The methodology described in this paper relies on data obtained from many tests performed on this specific type of line. The study and analysis of these database information led to working out correlations between parameters measured on field, and missing recorded mechanical properties. The first data that can be obtained quite easily is the chemical composition of steel, which can be analyzed in a laboratory from samples directly removed from parent material of the line pipe. Using the result of the previous analyses, the following correlations have been determined from the database information, and have been compared to correlations given in international standards (API 579, BS7910,…): - Charpy V energy measured at 0°C versus Charpy U energy pleasured at 20°C, - Charpy V energy versus sulfur content, - Fracture toughness versus Charpy V energy, - Fracture toughness versus sulfur content. A practical experiment of these results have been performed, as chemical composition analysis from samples were made on 5 removed test pieces issued from line pipes. These tests aimed at comparing the results given by correlations with the mechanical properties of the line pipes, and validating the feasibility of this methodology on the field. At the same time, database information was also used to check the theoretical behavior of parent metal regarding to the design temperature, by using a relation between steel toughness value, and its transition temperature at 28 J, issued from toughness transition curves.

At production of pipes of type 13Cr grade steel used at development of oil and gas deposits in areas with aggressive environment, intensive wear of instrument takes place, first of all, piercing mill mandrels. Factors, influencing the resistivity of the piercing mandrels considered, including chemical composition of the material, the mandrel is made of and its design. Based on industrial experience it was shown, that chrome content in the mandrel material practically does not affect on the increase of its resistivity, since the formed thin protective oxides having high melting temperature, are quickly failed and practically are not restored in the process of piercing. To increase the resistivity of piercing mandrels at production of casing tubes of type 13Cr grade steel, a work was accomplished to select a new material for their manufacturing. The chemical composition of steel presented, which was traditionally used for piercing mandrels manufacturing, as well as a steel grade proposed to increase their resistivity. First, molybdenum content was increased, which increases the characteristics of steel strength and ductility at high temperatures and results in grain refining. Second, tungsten content was also increased, which forms carbides in the steel resulting in an increase of its hardness and “red resistivity”, as well as in preventing grains growth during heating. Third, cobalt content was also increased, which increases heat resistivity and shock loads resistivity. The three elements increase enabled to increase the mandrels resistivity by two times. Results of mandrel test of steel 20ХН2МВ3КБ presented, the mandrel having corrugation on the working cone surface, which enabled to reach the resistivity growth to 12 passes without significant change of instrument cost. Microstructure of mandrels made of steels 20Х2Н4МФА and 20ХН2МВ3КБ shown. Application of the centering pin of special design was tested, which provided forming of a rounding edge on the front billet ends, eliminated undercut of mandrel external surface in the process of secondary billet grip and increase the service life of the piercing mill mandrels. At production of seamless pipes of martensite class type 13Cr stainless steels having L80 group of strength, an increase of piercing mandrel resistivity was reached by more than four times, which together with other technical solutions enabled to increase the hourly productivity of the hot rolling section of Volzhsky pipe plant ТПА 159-426 line by more than two times.

The results of studying operational destruction of a high-loaded cardan shaft of the propeller engine made of steel 38KhN3MFA are presented to elucidate the cause of damage and develop a set of recommendations and measures aimed at elimination of adverse factors. Methods of scanning electron and optical microscopy, as well as X-ray spectral microanalysis are used to determine the mechanical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and fracture pattern of cardan shaft fragments. It is shown that the mechanical properties and chemical composition of the material correspond to the requirements of the regulatory documentation, defects of metallurgical origin both in the shaft metal and in the fractures are absent. The microstructure of the studied shaft fragments is tempered martensite. Fractographic analysis revealed that the destruction of cardan shaft occurred by a static mechanism. The fracture surface is coated with corrosion products. The revealed cracks developed by the mechanism of corrosion cracking due to violation of the protective coating on the shaft. The results of the study showed that the destruction of the cardan shaft of a propeller engine made of steel 38Kh3MFA occurred due to formation and development of spiral cracks by the mechanism of stress corrosion cracking under loads below the yield point of steel. The reason for «neck» formation upon destruction of the shaft fragment is attributed to the yield point of steel attained during operation. Regular preventive inspections are recommended to assess the safety of the protective coating on the shaft surface to exclude formation and development of corrosion cracks.

The Creation

A review of the literature data on the structural features of TRIP / TWIP steels, their relationship with mechanical properties and the relationship of strength parameters under static and cyclic loading was carried out. It is shown that the level of mechanical properties of such steels is determined by the chemical composition and processing technology (thermal and thermomechanical processing, hot and cold pressure treatment), aimed at achieving a favorable phase composition. At the atomic level, the most important factor is stacking fault energy, the level of which will be decisive in the formation of austenite twins and / or the formation of strain martensite. By selecting the chemical composition, it is possible to set the stacking fault energy corresponding to the necessary mechanical characteristics. In the case of cyclic loads, an important role is played by the strain rate and the maximum load during testing. So at high loading rates and a load approaching the yield strength under tension, the intensity of the twinning processes and the formation of martensite increases. It is shown that one of the relevant ways to further increase of the structural and functional properties of TRIP and TWIP steels is the creation of composite materials on their basis. At present, surface modification and coating, especially by ion-vacuum methods, can be considered the most promising direction for the creation of such composites.

Weldability involves two aspects: welding behavior of components and safety in operation. The two aspects will be reduced to the mechanical characteristics of the elements and to the chemical composition. In the case of steel reinforcing rebar’s, it is reduces to the percentage of Cech(carbon equivalent) and to the mechanical characteristics: the yielding limit, the ultimate limit, and the elongations which after that represent the ductility class in which the re-bars is framed. The paper will present some types of steel reinforcing rebar’s with its mechanical characteristics and the welding behavior of those elements. In the current work, process-related behavior of welded reinforcement, joint local and global mechanical properties, and their correlation with behavior of normal reinforcement and also the mechanical performance resulted in this type of joints. Keywords: welding behavior, ultimate limit, reinforcing rebar’s

The cytocompatibility of biological and synthetic materials is an important issue for biomaterials. Gelatin hydrogels are used as biomaterials because of their biodegradability. We have previously reported that the mechanical properties of gelatin hydrogels are improved by cross-linking with polyrotaxanes, a supramolecular compound composed of many cyclic molecules threaded with a linear polymer. In this study, the ability of gelatin hydrogels cross-linked by polyrotaxanes (polyrotaxane–gelatin hydrogels) for cell cultivation was investigated. Because the amount of polyrotaxanes used for gelatin fabrication is very small, the chemical composition was barely altered. The structure and wettability of these hydrogels are also the same as those of conventional hydrogels. Fibroblasts adhered on polyrotaxane–gelatin hydrogels and conventional hydrogels without any reduction or apoptosis of adherent cells. From these results, the polyrotaxane–gelatin hydrogels have the potential to improve the mechanical properties of gelatin without affecting cytocompatibility. Interestingly, when cells were cultured on polyrotaxane–gelatin hydrogels after repeated stress deformation, the cells were spontaneously oriented to the stretching direction. This cellular response was not observed on conventional hydrogels. These results suggest that the use of a polyrotaxane cross-linking agent can not only improve the strength of hydrogels but can also contribute to controlling reorientation of the gelatin.

The paper studies the influence of shielding gas on the composition and the structure of weld joint metal of 30MnB5 steel applied in essential parts of automobiles and tractors. The welding was performed in inert, oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. It was established that TIG welding with argon used as shielding gas did not provide the required mechanical properties when using conventional welding materials. Carbon dioxide during MAG welding caused partial burning of alloying elements. Carbon monoxide used as shielding gas was proved to form reducing atmosphere enabling to obtain chemical composition close to the base metal composition. Metallographic examinations were carried out. The obtained results provided full-strength weld, as well as the required reliability and durability of welded components and joints.

Due to low density and good mechanical properties, aluminium alloys are widely applied in transportation industry. Moreover, they are characterized by the specific physical properties, such as high electrical conductivity. This led to application of the hypoeutectic Al-Si-Mg alloys in the power generation industry. Proper selection of the alloys chemical composition is an important stage in achievement of the demanded properties. The following paper presents results of the research on the influence of alloys chemical composition on their properties. It has been revealed that Si and Ti addition decreases electrical conductivity of the Al-Si-Mg alloys, while Na addition increases it. The mechanical properties of the investigated alloys are decreased by both silicon and iron presence. Sodium addition increases ductility of the Al-Si-Mg alloys.
