a neural network with feed forward topology and back propagation algorithm was used to investigate the effect of composition on mechanical properties in api x65 microalloyed steel (used in manufacturing of large diameter pipes). experimental data was obtained by cutting 100 specimens from pipes manufactured in industrial scale (with similar heats and manufacturing processes). the chemical analy...

Deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil gas exploitation might be challenge due to the fatigue damage at touchdown zone (TDZ). Therefore, development of risers with thicker pipe ends (upset end) is a solution diminish issues related through reducing average axial stress. In current study, manufacturing an upset end was carried out by friction welding in API X65 PLS2 steel outer diameter 220 mm. Consi...

The propagation of localized corrosion on API 5L X65 carbon steel in hydrogenocarbonated solution containing chloride ions was monitored during long immersion times by electrochemical noise (EN) measurements ZRA mode. Monitoring from the EN amplitude is possible but interpreting potential and current transients after made difficult different processes (metastable or stable pits, crevices, produ...
