In this study, fatigue failure behavior of welded X70 pipeline steel was investigated by rotating bar bending fatigue tests performed at room temperature.S-Ncurves of base metal, weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ) were plotted. Tension tests, hardness measurements and Charpy V-notched impact tests were carried out for mechanical characterization. Samples were examined with optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) microstructurally. Fracture surfaces were examined with SEM. In addition to fractographic analysis, striation counting method was used to estimate the crack growth rate of base metal, weld and HAZ. Stress intensity factor ( increment K) ranges were also calculated. Tensile properties and hardness values of base metal and weld were found to be almost the same. Charpy impact test results show that base material has approximately twice impact energy than weld and HAZ at room temperature. However, Charpy impact energies of HAZ and weld decreased noticeably at - 30 degrees C, while very slight decrease was observed for base metal. The comparison of high-cycle fatigue and crack growth behaviors shows that base metal has better fatigue behavior of all from the point of crack initiation and propagation. Moreover, our findings also support the idea that striation counting can be used as a fractographic approach to estimate the crack growth behavior of materials.

Fatigue behavior of welded API 5L X70 pipeline steel Turhan, Şermin Özlem; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) In this study, fatigue failure behavior of welded X70 pipeline steel was investigated by rotating bar bending fatigue tests performed at room temperature. S-N curves of base metal, weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ) were plotted. Tension tests, hardness measurements and Charpy V notched impact tests were carried out for mechanical characterization. Microstructural examination was conducted by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fracture surfaces were examined with SEM. In addition to f...
Delamination of layered materials under impact loading Dinç, Dinçer; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) In this study, a cold worked tool steel and a low carbon steel ( St 37 ), which were joined by brazing, were subjected to impact and shear loading. The end product is used as paper cutting blades in the industry. Effects of different brazing filler metals on the delamination of the blades under impact loading and on the impact toughness of the blades were studied. The target is to achieve higher impact toughness values without delamination. Impact toughness of the steels, joined by Cu, CuNi and BNi brazing ...
Crack propagation in a commercial steel Bilir , Oğuz Gürkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-5) In this work, the fatigue crack propagation behaviour of commercial steel sheet specimens containing a circular hole, under uniaxial loading conditions at room temperature was investigated. The experimental data have been analysed in terms of variability of material constants. The results were presented in the form of power relationship between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor range.
Numerical investigation of residual stresses, distortion and microstructure evolution in multi-pass welded steel components Garipova, Nuriya; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) Formation of residual stresses, distortion and microstructure evolution in multi-pass welding and surfacing welding on pipeline HSLA steels were numerically investigated. A procedure for three-dimensional finite element analysis of temperature field, stress-strain state and phase changes in weldments was developed by using ESI SYSWELD & VISUAL WELD software. Numerical results were verified by comparisons with the results of various tests and measurements, such as molten pool profile calibration, microstruct...
Seismic Retrofit of Deficient RC Structures with Internal Steel Frames ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış (2011-12-01) This paper describes an experimental study on internal steel frames (ISFs) to retrofit seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) frames. One reference and six strengthened frame specimens were tested under constant gravity load and cyclic lateral displacement excursions. Installation of the ISF with and without anchors to the RC frame was examined. Test results showed that the snug tight ISF installed inside an RC frame may suffice to realize the benefit of implementing ISFs. If the horizontal shear st...
