Contribution of the microtexture evolution induced by plastic deformation on the resistance of a hot-rolled pipeline steel to flat cleavage fracture and to brittle delamination cracking
Source abstract
Abstract
This work focuses on the effects of plastic deformation on the anisotropy in resistance to cleavage cracking, with an application to the brittle delamination phenomenon observed in the ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) of many pipeline steels. The microtexture of an as-received (AR) hot-rolled pipeline steel was first modified by cold-rolling (PS) and by a quenching + tempering treatment (QT). The resistance to cleavage fracture of the AR and modified materials was evaluated using the local approach to fracture. Cold-rolling strongly decreased the resistance to cleavage along the rolling plane, whereas the QT treatment decreased the anisotropy in critical cleavage fracture stress. Using a Griffith-inspired phenomenological approach, these evolutions were quantitatively related to the evolutions of microtexture. Using this approach, the resistance to delamination was correlated with the resistance to cleavage fracture along the rolling plane for the AR and PS materials. Detailed mechanical and microstructural analyses showed that plastic deformation experienced during the fracture test influenced both the anisotropy in cleavage fracture resistance and the delamination phenomenon in the DBT range. This work also shows that the critical cleavage fracture stress is not intrinsic to a given material; it may evolve with changes in microtexture and development of internal stresses during plastic deformation. The anisotropy of the warm prestress effect is also discussed.
