Forming mechanism of delamination cracks observed during tensile and fracture toughness testing of X70 pipeline steel
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, we have investigated microstructures of the delamination cracks observed from tensile and fracture toughness test specimens using an API X70 pipeline steel. It is found that the delaminations observed from both tensile and toughness specimens are intergranular fractures. At the occurrence, characteristics of brittle fracture were observed, but it was found not to be a brittle fracture as the delaminations were induced by plastic deformation. It is shown that severe plastic deformation produced strain concentration around particles located along grain boundaries and caused decohesion between adjacent grains, resulting in intergranular fracture.
