Abstract SAE 1025 is a plain carbon steel for general-purpose construction and engineering. It is used in the hot-worked, cold-worked, normalized or water-quenched-and-tempered condition. It also is carburized and used for case-hardened parts. Its many uses include bolts, forgings, axles, machinery components, cold-extruded parts, pressure vessels, case-hardened parts, chain and sprocket assemblies, spinning tools and permanent-mold castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-114. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.

It has been recognized that repair welding plays an important role in the long term, safe operation of pressure equipment. In 2009, The Japan Welding Society (JWES) published guidelines for repair welding of pressure equipment [1], to meet the great need for the safe operation and proper maintenance of aging plants. Pressure equipments made from carbon steel, high tensile steel and Cr-Mo steels are utilized for high pressure services. The subject equipments are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, and storage tanks for petroleum, petrochemical and liquefied natural gas industry. This paper summarizes category and property of these steels and repair welding method including special attention. Especially, weld cold cracking for these steels could be prevented by controlling the repair welding and post-weld heat treatment process to reduce the hydrogen content, hardness and weld residual stress.

Tubular Specimens

The paper describes some experimental work designed to investigate the bursting of pipe and pressure vessels by gaseous detonation. The test specimens were 3.25-in-OD tubes, 12 in. long, and of 0.040 to 0.070-in. wall thickness. The specimens, cut from hot-rolled carbon-steel pipe, and also from drawn carbon-steel tubing, were tested at several temperatures, which were chosen to produce failures both above and below the brittle transition temperatures for the two materials. In addition, an austenitic stainless-steel specimen was tested under very severe conditions in several unsuccessful attempts to fragment it.

Accelerated Corrosion

Low-carbon steel Q235B was widely used in low or middle pressure equipments, which were not only withstanding the corrosive effect of the environment or medium, but also the high stress in service processes. In this paper, acetic acid accelerated corrosion test of low-carbon steel Q235B under the action of various stress levels was conducted, and its pitting corrosion behavior was studied by corrosion morphology, pitting corrosion parameters, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that, the degree of pitting corrosion of low carbon steel Q235B with stress was more serious than that of non-stress. And the corrosion started from grain boundary, which was corroded before grain itself, and then grains fell off or dissolved. Furthermore, it would have the tendency of deep hole corrosion with stress, which was more of a threat to the structural safety of pressure vessels.

Design And Manufacture

In recent years, with the gradual expansion of units scale for energy industries such as oil refining, chemical and natural gas, etc. in China, pressure vessels are developing toward the large and heavy direction with the maximum wall thickness reaching hundreds of millimeters and weight exceeding one thousand tons. It not only causes huge material consumption, difficulty in manufacture and processing (even beyond current capability), but probably also lead to new failure modes and mechanisms, and significant safety risks thereby. Therefore, the lightweight design and manufacture under the premise of inherent safety has become an urgent need to break through the bottleneck of manufacturing capability and realize the material and energy conservation. In this paper, the progress of lightweight design and manufacturing technology of heavy-duty pressure vessels in recent years in China is introduced from the aspects of adjustment of material allowable strength, application of high strength steel and matching of strength and toughness, cold stretch of austenitic stainless steel, structure optimization design with multi-parameter coupling, and application of composite materials. Application cases in the construction of pressure equipments such as large hydrogenating reactors, low-temperature ethylene spherical tanks, austenitic stainless steel cryogenic vessels, butyl octanol heat exchangers, etc. are also included. Finally, some suggestions on the future research are proposed including composite pressure vessels in cryogenic environment, materials genome and additive manufacturing technologies for pressure vessels.

Element Method

Welding is a reliable and efficient joining process in which the coalescence of metals is achieved by fusion. Welding is widely employed in diverse structures such as ships, aircraft, marine structures, bridges, ground vehicles, pipelines and pressure vessels. When two dissimilar plates are joined by welding process, a very complex thermal cycle is applied to the weldment, which further causes inhomogeneous plastic deformation and residual stress in and around fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ). Presence of residual stresses may be beneficial or harmful for the structural components depending on the nature and magnitude of residual stresses. In this study, a finite element analysis has been carried out to analyze the thermo-mechanical behaviour and effect of residual stress state in butt-welded in low carbon steel plates. A coupled thermal mechanical three dimension finite element model was developed. Finite element method based software SolidWorks Simulation, was then used to evaluate transient temperature and residual stress during butt welding of two plates. Plate thickness of 8 mm were used which are normally joined by multi-pass operation by Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW) process. During each pass, attained peak temperature and variation of residual stresses in plates has also been studied. The results obtained by finite element method agree well with those from X-ray diffraction method as published by Murugan et al. for the prediction of residual stresses.
