Abstract Microstructure transformations occur in the Manaurite XM cast steel tubes during long-term operation in the reformer furnace were revealed and described. The relationship between mechanical properties, an increase of internal diameter of the tube and microstructure degradation is discussed. Static tensile test was performed on two types of samples with different shapes. It has been shown differences in the results of tests and an explanation of this phenomenon.

AbstractThe paper analyses the relationship between an increase of the inner diameter of tubes made of Manaurite XM cast steel and transformations occurring in their microstructure due to long-lasting operation in methane reformer. Examinations included metallographic analysis with light microscope (LM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and microanalysis of the chemical composition of precipitates (EDX). It was indicated that there is a relationship between the microstructure degradation ratio, morphology of the precipitates and an increase of the inner diameter of the tubes.

The paper presents results of research on the influence of regenerative heat treatment on microstructure and properties of a cast steel after long term operation at the elevated temperature. The material under investigation was G17CrMoV5 – 10 cast steel taken out (in the form of a section) from an internal frame of steam turbine serviced for about 250 000 hours. Performed research has proved that, through the structure degradation, long-term service contributes to an increase of brittleness and decrease of mechanical properties — higher in the case of yield strength than tensile strength. The heat treatment, however, contributes to an increase of impact energy, regardless of the applied parameters. Is has also been proved that the optimum combination of mechanical properties and impact energy is ensured by the structure of high tempered bainite. Low mechanical properties and impact energy, however, were obtained for the structure which was slowly cooled from the austenitizing temperature, i.e. the ferritic – bainitic – ferritic structure.

Regularities of steel structure degradation of the “Novopskov-Aksay-Mozdok” gas main pipelines (Nevinnomysskaya CS) as well as the “Gorky-Center” pipelines (Gavrilovskaya CS) were studied. The revealed peculiarities of their degradation after long-term operation are suggested to be treated as a particular case of the damage accumulation classification (scheme) proposed by prof. H.M. Nykyforchyn. It is shown that the fracture surface consists of sections of ductile separation and localized zones of micro-spalling. The presence of the latter testifies to the hydrogen-induced embrittlement effect. However, the steels under investigation possess sufficiently high levels of the mechanical properties required for their further safe exploitation, both in terms of durability and cracking resistance.

This paper covers an investigation to determine if the long-term, tensile stress-rupture strength of alloys could be calculated from the results of static tensile-strength tests at elevated temperatures. Twenty-one alloys were investigated. A second-order form of a mechanical-chemical equation of state was used to draw master rupture curves from both long-term rupture and tensile-strength data. It is concluded that the long-term strength of an alloy can be computed from a knowledge of its tensile strength at elevated temperatures, prior history, chemical composition, and mode of failure.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/bamboo composites have been prepared and assessed for their use in interior and exterior load-bearing applications. PVC composites were formed by compounding PVC with different bamboo particle sizes and loadings. The mechanical properties of these composites were determined at both ambient and elevated temperatures and after long-term water soaking. Analysis revealed that bamboo incorporation improved the PVC composite flexural modulus which was also observed with dynamic mechanical-thermal analysis on heating composites toca.70°C. Addition of 25% and 50% bamboo particles increases flexural modulus by 80% with dependency on whether fine (<75 μm) or coarse (<1 mm) particles were used. On water soaking to saturation, composites had water weight uptakes of 10%, with reduced flexural properties obtained for all water-soaked composites. Nonetheless, the results of this study show that PVC/bamboo composites achieve the minimum flexural performance of ASTM D 6662, indicating potential for their use in exterior applications.

The assessment of the residual lifetime of critical components of industrial plants requires the knowledge of mechanical properties prior to operation, respecting all technological operations realized throughout the manufacture of the component, and the knowledge of mechanical properties after actual time of operation (actual mechanical properties). Small Punch (SP) test technique enables measurement of the realistic material properties at the critical locations in the component both prior and after long-term operation. The paper shows the examples of the sampling of testing material from the critical components of the industrial plants and the procedures for determination of tensile and fracture characteristics by SP tests at ambient and low temperatures. The special attention is devoted to the test specimen orientation for determination of SP fracture energy ESP.

Long-term operation of the power plant components in the conditions of the creep leads to the degradation of the short-term mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, in order to predict the degree of the metal degradation and integrity of the component the determination of the mechanical properties of the actual component in service material is required. Since the standard tests requiring a significant volume of sample material cannot be applied the technique of the tensile testing of miniature flat plate specimens has been developed in Tallinn University of Technology and described in this paper. The results of the tests of miniature flat plate specimens have been compared with testing results of cylindrical specimens with standard size and at the same time the comparison has shown a good agreement of the results. The data analysis has also shown the high repeatability of the tests results of miniature specimens. Thus, the developed technique of the miniature flat plate specimens testing could be considered as accurate and reliable method and could be definitely used for evaluation of the tensile properties of the metal.

AbstractCorrosion and corrosion-fatigue tests of the material of the pipeline, which was in operation for 41 years. It has been shown that prolonged operation reduces the parameters of resistance to fatigue and prolonged static loading in corrosive environments. It was established that the degradation of physical and mechanical properties is insignificant, Ukraine’s main gas pipelines are ready to operate at full capacity provided that timely monitoring measures are carried out.
