Book Description
In this paper, the fracture-toughness and fatigue crack growth rates of the deposited seam weld on the longitudinal pipeline API 5L X52 were evaluated. The study was performed with nonstandard curved specimens, which were machined in the transversal direction of the seam weld with a crack-initiating notch aligned perpendicular to the direction of the deposited seam weld metal. The fractographic analysis showed that the low fracture-toughness of the weld can be attributed to the the existence of elements capable of nucleating brittle fracture and the fact that the intrinsic porosity in the transversal direction provided a favorable crack path for separating the fracture plane, resulting in low fracture-toughness values. Finally, the resistance decrease with respect to the fatigue crack growth was attributed to the small grain size because of the effect of roughness-induced crack closure as well as the interaction of the crack and the inherent porosity.

Book Description
Plane-strain fracture toughness of submerged arc-welding seams of an API 5L steel pipe in the short radial direction was evaluated using nonstandard curved SE(B) test specimens. These specimens are directly cut from the pipe and require no machining other than the crack starter notch. The stress intensity factor function for the nonstandard curved SE(B) specimen was calibrated for three-point bending loading. The initiating notch was aligned to make the crack propagate through the weld-deposited metal zone. The measured fracture-toughness value was 56.3 ± 2.9 Mpa?m. A fractographic study of the tested specimens showed that the deposited metal fracture consists of a mixture of ductile tearing and cleavage that corresponds to the ferrite and the dendritic grains, respectively. The dendritic grains behave in a brittle way, thus being the main contributions to the relatively low fracture-toughness values obtained from the tests.

Book Description
In previous works, it was demonstrated that the average fracture-toughness values were higher in the circumferential-longitudinal direction (CL) than in the circumferential-radial direction (CR) on the longitudinal submerged arc welding (SAW) in API 5L pipeline steel. Nevertheless, such differences in fracture-toughness values were attributed to the density distribution of microstructural phases and porosity, but the effect of non-metallic inclusions on this fracture property was not considered; therefore, the present work analyzed the effect of non-metallic inclusions on the fracture-toughness values by fractographic and electron diffraction scattered analyses. The results showed the presence of titanium (Ti), calcium (Ca), and aluminum (Al) constituents in the non-metallic inclusions for the CR direction of the pipeline. These elements tended to form compounds that promoted brittle-fracture by cleavage, decreasing the toughness properties of the weld. For the CL direction analysis, the elements presented on the non-metallic inclusions were manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and sulfur (S), which promoted the nucleation and coalescence of cavities, all of which were typical for ductile fracture. Calculations on the KIC showed that the non-metallic inclusions with elements of Ti, Ca, and Al contributed to lower KIC values on the CR direction under analysis.
