The four crack types Type I Crack: These cracks are longitudinal cracks that run parallel to the weld direction. They typically occur in the weld metal itself and are caused by shrinkage during solidification Type II Crack: These are also longitudinal cracks, but they run in the HAZ adjacent to the weld metal. They are caused by reheating of the base metal during welding, which can cause grain coarsening and reduced ductility Type III Crack: These are transverse cracks that run perpendicular to the weld direction. They can occur in the HAZ or the weld metal. They are typically caused by stresses caused by welding such as residual stresses or thermal stresses Type IV Crack: These cracks occur in the weld metal or the HAZ and propagate across the weld to the opposite HAZ They are associated with hydrogen in the weld metal, and can be particularly troublesome in high-strength steels. #ndt #refinery #Job #interview #knpc #koc #adnoc #aramco #uae #corrosion …see more Activate to view larger image,

super duplex 2507 pipe DESCRIPTION of super duplex 2507 pipe Advantages of super duplex 2507 pipe: It can destroy the casting structure of the steel ingot, and the "three fires" produced can refine the grains of the steel and eliminate the defects of the microstructure, so that the steel structure is dense and the mechanical properties are improved. This improvement is mainly reflected in the rolling direction, so that the steel is no longer isotropic to a certain extent; bubbles, cracks and looseness formed during casting can also be welded under high temperature and pressure. Disadvantages: 1. After the super duplex 2507 pipe is hot rolled, the non-metallic inclusions (mainly sulfides and oxides, as well as silicates) inside the steel are pressed into thin sheets, and delamination (interlayer) occurs. Delamination greatly deteriorates the tensile properties of the steel in the thickness direction, and it is possible that interlayer tearing may occur when the weld shrinks. The local strain induced by weld shrinkage often reaches several times the yield point strain, which is much larger than the strain caused by the load; 2. Residual stress caused by uneven cooling. Residual stress is the internal self-balanced stress without external force. Hot-rolled super duplex 2507 pipes of various cross-sections have this kind of residual stress. Generally, the larger the section size of the section steel, the greater the residual stress. Although the residual stress is self-balanced, it still has a certain influence on the performance of the steel member under the action of external force. For example, it may have adverse effects on deformation, stability, fatigue resistance, etc.
