A methodology to predict the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature for sharp or blunt surface-breaking defects in base metals was developed and presented at IPC 2006. The method involved applying a series of transition temperature shifts due to loading rate, thickness, and constraint differences between bending versus tension loading, as well as a function of surface-crack depth. The result was a master curve of transition temperatures that could predict dynamic or static transition temperatures of through-wall cracks or surface cracks in pipes. The surface-crack brittle-to-ductile transition temperature could be predicted from either Charpy or CTOD bend-bar specimen transition temperature information. The surface crack in the pipe has much lower crack-tip constraint, and therefore a much lower brittle-to-ductile transition temperature than either the Charpy or CTOD bend-bar specimen transition temperature. This paper extends the prior work by presenting past and recent data on cracks in line-pipe girth welds. The data developed for one X100 weld metal shows that the same base-metal master curve for transition temperatures works well for line-pipe girth welds. The experimental results show that the transition temperature shift for the surface-crack constraint condition in the weld was about 30C lower than the transition temperature from standard CTOD bend-bar tests, and that transition temperature difference was predicted well. Hence surface cracks in girth welds may exhibit higher fracture resistance in full-scale behavior than might be predicted from CTOD bend-bar specimen testing. These limited tests show that with additional validation efforts the FITT Master Curve is appropriate for implementation to codes and standards for girth-weld defect stress-based criteria. For strain-based criteria or leak-before-break behavior, the pipeline would have to operate at some additional temperature above the FITT of the surface crack to ensure sufficient ductile fracture behavior.

Intermetallic materials typically change their deformation behavior from brittle to ductile at a certain temperature called the Brittle-to-Ductile Transition Temperature (BDTT). This specific temperature can be determined by the Charpy impact, tensile or bending tests conducted at different temperatures and strain rates, which usually requires a large number of specimens. In order to reduce the number of necessary specimens for finding the BDTT, a new methodology comprising cyclic loadings as the crucial step was studied on a fully lamellar TiAl alloy with composition Ti-48Al-2Nb-0.7Cr-0.3Si. The loading blocks are applied isothermally under strain control and repeated on the same specimen at different temperatures. The development of plastic strain amplitude with increasing temperature is analyzed to determine the BDTT of the specimen. The BDTTs found with the described method agree well with literature data derived with conventional methods. With the loading strategy presented in this study, the BDTT and additionally the effect of strain rate on it can be found by using a single specimen.

Icosahedral Quasicrystals

AbstractPoly-quasicrystalline specimens of the Al-Cu-Fe system have been pre-strained and further deformed at various temperatures, above and below the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature, under constant strain-rate conditions. The experiments have been specially designed to examine the respective contributions of the thermally reversible and structural dependent parts to the total flow stress. We show that the so-called internal stress, which results from the deformation builtin microstructure, has a rather low value, if any. In addition, the flow stress is found to be fully temperature reversible, if one takes into account previous plastic strains. We suggest that these results can be explained by a weakening of the friction stress, due to the formation of soft slip bands.

The transportation and storage casks have to be designed by considering transport and handling accidents. IAEA safety standard [1] requires drop test using a scale model and demonstration of structural integrity of the cask container vessel from the view point of leakage and instable fracture. For the fracture evaluation, it has to be verified that brittle fracture does not occur at the lowest temperature −40degC. MHI has developed the MSF-57BG cask whose body is made of forged low alloy steel LF3-m. It is well known that low alloy steel has the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature range of fracture toughness and large scatter of toughness value in this region. For the cask’s integrity evaluation, it is needed to obtain the fracture toughness dependent on temperature of this material by considering data scatter. The Master curve procedure [2] was proposed for estimation of fracture toughness of the pressure vessel on the basis of statistical procedure by using relatively small number of specimens. This paper examined the determination method of fracture toughness considering dynamic loading effect and data scatter in the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature by using the Master curve procedure.
