Development of welding consumables with fluorides and borides of rare earth metals is a promising area for improving the weldability of low alloy steels. As lanthanum fluoride and boride dissociate, lanthanum and boron dissolve in the weld pool and the welding arc plasma is saturated with fluorine. As a result of FeO, MnO, SiO2 deoxidation and FeS, MnS desulfurization, refractory lanthanum sulfides and oxides La2O3, La2S3 are formed in the weld pool, which can be the crystallization nuclei in the weld pool and the origin of acicular ferrite nucleation. The paper proposes a model of metallurgical processes in the arc and weld pool, as well as a model of electrochemical adsorption of Ni2+ cations in colloidal electrolytes during electrostatic deposition of nano-dispersed insoluble particles of LaF3 or LaB6 on the surface of wire. The paper discusses the constructional design of the welding wire and the technology for forming electrochemical composite coatings with copper and nickel matrix. The composite wires applied in the welding of low alloy steels make it possible to refine the microstructure, increase the tensile strength by 4% and the impact toughness of welds by 20%.

The impact of hydrogen sulfide raw materials on steel equipment and pipelines is associated not only with corrosion processes, but also with the hydrogenation of used carbon and low-alloy steels. This can lead to the loss of their strength properties and the subsequent destruction of equipment operated under conditions of increased operating pressures. Such corrosive-mechanical effects associated with the penetration of hydrogen into steel are the most dangerous from the point of view of the safety and reliability of the operation of facilities for the production of hydrocarbon fluids. The effect of H2S on the main types of structural steels was investigated according to the results of autoclave tests. The formation of blistering (blistering) and cracks on the surface of steels due to the effect of hydrogen on the steel was recorded. A study of the phase composition of corrosion products and their possible effect on the processes of corrosion and hydrogenation of steel has been carried out.

The present study was envisaged to investigate the role of La content on the particle, microstructure and toughness in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of high-strength low-alloy steels. Three steels with La content of 0.016 wt.%, 0.046 wt.% and 0.093 wt.% were prepared and simulated in a 100 kJ/cm heat input welding thermal cycle. Subsequently, the particle and microstructure of selected specimens were characterized and the impact absorb energy was measured at −20 °C. The results indicated that the La2O2S inclusions in 0.016 wt.%-La steel were gradually modified to LaS-LaP in 0.046 wt.%-La steel and to LaP in 0.093 wt.%-La steel. A higher fraction of acicular ferrite was obtained in the simulated CGHAZ of 0.016 wt.%-La steel, since the inclusion of La2O2S was more powerful to induce the formation of acicular ferrite. Furthermore, the fraction of M-A constituents in the simulated CGHAZ increased with increasing La content. The impact toughness in the simulated CGHAZ of 0.016 wt.%-La steel was the highest, owing to the high fraction of the fine-grained acicular ferrite and low fraction of M-A constituent.

Carbon and low alloy steels are the most commonly used construction materials for oil and gas pipelines. In order to improve their performance, various types of coatings are frequently applied on them. Electroless nickel composite coatings containing nano-particles are widely used on steel substrates. In this paper, CO 2 corrosion of X70 carbon steel coated with Ni - P and Ni - P -nano SiO 2 in 3%Wt NaC1 electrolyte, saturated with CO 2 at 85°C and pH 6.5 in 1bar CO 2 pressure for 72 h, was investigated and the results were compared against each other. SEM and XRD techniques were used for investigating the corrosion products morphology and composition, respectively. In addition, the corrosion process was studied using EIS technique. The experimental results showed that the formation of FeCO 3 protective film on coated samples was limited. Moreover, the addition of SiO 2 nano-particles to Ni - P coating improved corrosion resistance of the substrate, which also showed the ability of nano-particle addition to the Ni - P coating in decreasing the corrosion rate.

The study aimed to identify a moderate degree of Ce addition to improve the toughness in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of high-strength low-alloy steels, based on the effect of the Ce content on particle characteristics, microstructure and impact toughness. Three steels with 0.012 wt.%, 0.050 wt.% and 0.086 wt.% Ce content were subjected to 100 kJ/cm heat input in their thermal welding cycles. The particles and microstructures in the simulated CGHAZ of each steel were characterized and the impact-absorbance energy levels were measured at −20 °C. The results indicated that Ce2O2S inclusion compounds were gradually modified to CexSy-CeP and CeP with the increasing of the Ce content. A higher fraction of acicular ferrite was formed in the 0.012 wt.%-Ce-treated steel due to the lower mismatch between Ce2O2S and α-Fe. Furthermore, a lower fraction of M-A constituent was obtained in the 0.012 wt.%-Ce-treated steel. As a result, superior toughness and a typical amount of ductile fracture were detected in the simulated CGHAZ of the 0.012 wt.%-Ce-treated steel. Compared with the 0.012 wt.%-Ce-treated steel, a smaller prior austenite grain was observed in the 0.086 wt.%-Ce-treated steel because of the segregation of CeP at the grain boundary. However, the larger size and density of CeP led to poor toughness in the CGHAZ of the 0.086 wt.%-Ce-treated steel.

An analytical review of existing views on the problem of increasing the heat resistance, heat resistance, and durability of high-temperature nickel alloys of the ZhC3 group of blades of gas turbine engines is carried out. The effect of alloying elements of alloys on structural transformations, types of hardening and corrosion resistance is analyzed. A complex powder modifier based on titanium carbonitride Ti (CN) is proposed for processing nickel melts. The choice of nanodispersed Ti (CN) carbonitride powders of a fraction of less than 100 nm as modifiers of low-alloy steels is substantiated. It has been established that Ti (CN) titanium carbonitride particles have a face-centered crystal lattice. The necessary criteria for the selection of nanopowder modifiers have been obtained: insolubility in the melt, correspondence of crystal lattices with the matrix of steel, proportionality with the critical radius of the austenite embryo during crystallization. A mechanism for the interaction of a steel melt with a layer of a nanodisperse composition is established. The macro- and microstructure of nickel alloys ZhC3, ZhC3DK was investigated. An analysis of microdiffraction patterns of particles is carried out, the nanopowders are shown to belong to solid crystalline bodies with a metallic bond. The coarse-grained and low-plastic matrix of the nickel alloy is under the influence of a large local loading, which contributes to the premature cracking of grain boundaries. Modification leads to significant changes in the structure of the alloy ZhC3 in comparison with the unmodified state. The structure of ZhC3 after modification is homogeneous, fine-grained. In modified samples, the grinding of grain was achieved 3 ... 5 times and the structure was stabilized in comparison with the initial state. Mechanical studies of samples in a modified state showed an increase in all parameters: tensile strength by 10 %; yield strength - by 13 %; the elongation by 20 % and the impact strength by 40 % compared to the original samples. Tests of samples for heat resistance showed a decrease in the depth of corrosion at a temperature of 1000 °C in the modified state on average by 25 %, which confirms the effect of modifying the alloys with nanodispersed modifiers.

For the development of design rules for nuclear piping using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method, the probabilistic properties of steel, namely, the mean value, bias, coefficient of variation, and probability distribution are needed. The paper presents background information for the existing material tables in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section II. Then it investigates the probabilistic properties for the most representative materials used for nuclear piping such as a carbon, stainless austenitic, and low alloy steels. Properties up to temperature 700°F are examined through a review of studies for the mechanical behavior of these materials. The paper discusses approaches for grouping materials in broader categories than the consideration of each type of steel separately. The impact of the steel probabilistic properties on the development of LRFD equations and the associated target reliability index is provided.

Brittle damages have been examined widely since welding became common practice when it comes to carrying out robust structures. Welded structure of the ship hull has to be continuous. Brittle damages that occur on hull structures have always been examined thoroughly. Cracks are most commonly initiated at locations where stress concentrators exist. These concentrators can originate due to flaws that occur during the design phase or due to mistakes that occur during the assembly of the structure. When it comes to failures and damages that occur at ship structures, it has been noticed that damages due to brittleness practically always happen at low temperatures. Impact test analysis is significant due to the fact that it replicates the ductile to brittle transition of steel in practically identical range of temperatures for all ship structures. Impact of ductile-brittle transition temperature is an important factor especially because there have been many ship failures and damages in history. In ship structures made of welded joints of high strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels with their segments (parent metal, weld metal and heat-affected-zone), the toughness test determines the tendency of steel to brittle fracture, respectively the tendency to increase brittleness during exploitation. Parameters obtained by testing the properties of plasticity are the fundamental for the composition of ship structures with the aim of realize strengths under tested load. The test results of high strength low-alloy steel toughness assessment at different test temperatures show that temperature significantly affects the impact toughness of steels and their alloys.
