Till now, different constitutive models have been applied to model the hot deformation flow curves of different materials. In this research, the hot deformation flow stress of API X65 pipeline steel was modeled using the power law equation with strain dependent constants. The results was compared with the results of the other previously examined constitutive equations including the Arrhenius eq...

Assessment of a corroded pipe is crucial to determine when it must be repaired or replaced. However, the conventional corrosion assessment codes for failure pressure predictions pipes with circumferentially aligned interacting defects are conservative (underestimations more than 40%), resulting in premature repair replacements pipelines. Alternatively, numerical approaches may used, but they ti...

The corrosion behaviors of different weld heat-affected zones (HAZs) were investigated, comprising an API 5L X65 steel immersed in seawater with abundant native microbial community. Before tests, HAZ physical simulations performed at the peak temperatures 700 °C, 860 1000 and 1350 °C. Throughout 14 days immersion, various planktonic bacterial groups associated microbiologically influenced metab...

In this investigation, the effect of microstructural changes and phase equilibria on corrosion behavior hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) sensitivity an API X65 pipeline steel was studied. For purpose, heat treatment performed at 850 °C, 950 1050 °C 1150 to engineer desired microstructure steel. Then, evolution by optical microscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped w...

The world's oil and gas sectors are diverse. They utilize offshore pipes to generate millions of barrels meet global energy demands. In this study we identified the critical buckling load that occurred on a cylinder shell (also known as radial buckling). Offshore pipe design must several criteria, one which is requirement for withstand external hydrostatic pressure seawater. overall calculated ...
