Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of damage mechanics, and particularly relates to a method and device for predicting damage of in-service welding burn-through of pipelines. Background Art

[0002] The in-service welding repair technology is an economic, environment-friendly and efficient oil and gas pipeline repair technology, and is also an important development direction for pipeline repair. Due to the forced constraint of the pipeline and the presence of flowing high-pressure medium inside the pipe, there are mainly two technical difficulties in in-service welding repair: (1) During in-service welding, the arc heat will cause local loss of strength of the pipe wall metal, and burn-through will occur under the action of the internal medium pressure of the pipe and welding stress, etc.; (2) The flowing medium inside the pipe will increase the possibility of cold cracks in the weld and heat-affected zone. Among them, burn-through is the primary problem in in-service welding.

[0003] In view of the engineering application value of in-service welding burn-through, the research work mainly focuses on the burn-through criterion. The existing criteria are mainly proposed based on the macroscopic burn-through phenomenon of in-service welding, and mainly include the minimum wall thickness criterion, the highest inner wall temperature criterion, the remaining strength criterion and the radial deformation criterion. The above criteria lack the understanding of the mechanism, and so far, a generally recognized and quantitative mechanism-integrated safety assessment criterion has not been formed.

[0004] In-service welding burn-through is essentially a problem of high-temperature deformation and fracture under the coupling action of multi-physical fields of welding and the internal medium pressure of the pipe. Its dynamic failure process occurs inside the high-temperature metal, and goes through dynamic evolution processes such as the initiation of micro-defects, the evolution of micro-cracks, and the propagation of macro-cracks. Finding characteristic parameters that can comprehensively consider the multi-field coupling action of in-service welding and can quantitatively evaluate the risk of in-service welding burn-through is the key to the research on burn-through instability safety criteria.

[0005] Damage mechanics can give a quantitative solution for burn-through based on the welding finite element simulation results and damage theory on the premise of comprehensively considering the multi-field coupling action, which provides a new way for the research on the safety criterion of in-service welding burn-through instability.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, determining the damage parameter data of the target pipeline at different temperatures and different strain rates includes: preparing high-temperature tensile specimens using the material of the target pipeline; conducting high-temperature tensile experiments based on the high-temperature tensile specimens; after equating the volume of the non-uniform deformation zone of the high-temperature tensile specimens to the volume of the uniform deformation zone, calculating the fracture strain values at different temperatures; taking the strain corresponding to the highest point of the load-displacement curve as the initial damage threshold strain; based on the Lemaitre damage theory, calculating the critical damage value using the critical damage value calculation formula; where the critical damage value calculation formula includes:

[0070] In this embodiment, the calculation of the damage parameters based on the high-temperature tensile test in Step 1 includes the following steps:

[0071] Step (1): According to the metal material tensile test standard, prepare a rod-shaped high-temperature tensile specimen with a diameter of 6 mm, and make a scale in the middle of the specimen to facilitate the accurate calculation of damage parameters in the subsequent steps; Exemplarily, the test material is X65 pipeline steel, the steel pipe specification is φ114.3 mm × 11.0 mm, and the high-temperature tensile specimen is taken along the longitudinal direction of the pipe body. The specimen size is φ6 × 121.5 mm. The width of the high-temperature heating area is generally 12 mm in the middle of the specimen. The 6 mm position in the middle of the specimen is generally not marked with a gauge length in the fracture area. Laser etching is used to mark scales on the 9 mm areas on both sides of this 6 mm area. The depth of the scale line is 0.1 mm, and the interval between the scale lines is 1 mm. The purpose of making the scale lines is to more accurately calculate the damage parameters of the material at different temperatures and different strain rates.

[0072] Step (2): Based on the principle of volume invariance, use the equivalent volume method to equivalent the volume of the non-uniform deformation zone to the volume of the uniform deformation zone, and then calculate the more accurate fracture strain value at different temperatures;

[0073] Step (3): Based on the Lemaitre damage theory, microvoids initially germinate in the necking stage. This stage is regarded as the beginning of damage, and the strain corresponding to the highest point of the load-displacement curve is used to replace the initial damage threshold strain;

[0074] Step (4): Based on the Lemaitre damage theory, use the formula to calculate the critical damage value, where ρ R represents the engineering fracture stress; ρ u represents the peak stress.

[0075] In this embodiment, for the solution of the mathematical expressions of the constitutive model parameters such as the value of the deformation activation energy, the critical damage value, the initial damage threshold strain, and the critical damage threshold strain in step 2, the following steps are included:

[0076] Step (1): Use the power function form of the Arrhenius equation to characterize the relationship between the flow stress and temperature and strain rate, and perform operations such as logarithmic transformation, partial derivative calculation, and data curve fitting on the formula to solve for the deformation activation energy;

[0077] Step (2): Assume that the effects of temperature and strain rate on the critical damage value are non-coupled, obtain the expression of the critical damage value, and perform operations such as logarithmic transformation, partial derivative calculation, and data curve fitting on the above expression to solve for the mathematical expression of the critical damage value;

[0078] Step (3): Characterize the relationship between the flow stress and temperature and strain rate using the power function form of the Arrhenius equation. Appropriately transform the formula, and through operations such as logarithmic transformation, partial derivative calculation, and data curve fitting, obtain the mathematical expression of the initial damage threshold strain;

[0079] Step (4): Refer to the solution method of the critical damage value to solve and obtain the mathematical expression of the critical damage threshold strain.

[0080] In this embodiment, the damage evolution equation in step 3 is a series of equations, including the initial damage threshold strain equation (mathematical expression), critical damage threshold strain equation, critical damage value equation, stress triaxiality equation, and damage dynamic evolution equation. This damage evolution equation mainly includes 6 parameters, namely the initial damage threshold strain ε t , critical damage fracture strain ε cr , critical damage value D cr , stress triaxiality, temperature T, and strain rate Among them, the initial damage threshold strain ε t , critical damage fracture strain ε cr , and critical damage value D cr are all functions of temperature T and strain rate . Exemplarily, the obtained series of equations are as follows:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084]

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] In this embodiment, in step 4, finite element simulation of in-service welding of pressurized steel pipes is carried out, and the temperature field and stress field results are calibrated in combination with the in-service welding process test of pressurized steel pipes to ensure the reliability of the finite element simulation of in-service welding. Exemplarily, the in-service welding process test of pressurized steel pipes is implemented as follows. It is generally considered that the first surfacing circumferential weld in in-service welding will not burn through and subsequent weld beads will not burn through either. The X65 steel pipe is processed into a specification of φ114mm×200mm×4mm, the medium inside the pipe is water, the pressure of the medium inside the pipe can be adjusted between 0 - 10 MPa, the welding method is TIG welding, no welding wire is added, and a stable welding is carried out using an ABB welding robot. The finite element simulation of in-service welding of pressurized steel pipes includes the following steps:

[0088] Step (1): Construct a finite element mesh model of a pressurized steel pipe according to the size of the test pipeline.

[0089] Step (2): Set boundary conditions consistent with the test according to the heat dissipation, constraints, mechanical boundary conditions, etc. of the test pipeline.

[0090] Step (3): Based on the framework of the thermal-metallurgical-mechanical sequential coupling model, conduct numerical simulations of the temperature field and stress field.

[0091] Step (4): Compare with the test to check the reliability of the results of the numerical simulation temperature field and stress field.

[0092] In this embodiment, step 5 is based on the finite element simulation of in-service welding of pressurized steel pipes, analyzes the laws of the temperature field and stress field, and corrects the damage evolution equation.

[0093] When the absolute value of the radial stress is greater than the yield strength of the material at this time, the metal of the pipe wall begins to undergo radial yield and gradually produces an outward convex radial deformation. During this process, the radial strain is positive, and this deformation behavior is the key reason for burn-through instability. Based on the above research, it is necessary to introduce a radial stress judgment condition into the damage model. When the absolute value of the radial stress is greater than the yield strength value or the hydrostatic stress is greater than zero, damage begins to accumulate, otherwise damage is not accumulated. The corrected damage evolution equation is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] In the formula, D RS is the effective damage, σ 33 is the radial stress; σ s is the yield strength.

[0096] The corrected damage evolution equation in step 5 means embedding the condition that the radial stress (absolute value) is greater than the yield strength as the criterion for damage initiation into the damage model;

[0097] In this embodiment, obtaining the damage evolution cloud diagram in step 7 includes the following steps:

[0098] Step (1): Extract the results of the temperature field numerical simulation, set the damage value of the area where the temperature is higher than 1590 °C to zero, and consider this part as the molten pool. The data results of this part are not brought into the damage evolution equation for calculation;

[0099] Step (2): Extract the results of the temperature field numerical simulation, extract the results of the stress field numerical simulation and the three-dimensional coordinates of the corresponding nodes, obtain the plastic strain, calculate the stress triaxiality, and substitute it into the damage evolution equation to calculate the damage value;

[0100] Step (3): Input the three-dimensional coordinates and damage values of the nodes into the visualization software to create a damage evolution nephogram that changes with the medium pressure.

[0101] In this embodiment, the damage evolution nephogram in step 8 needs to be verified and analyzed in combination with the evolution of defects and microcracks in the burn-through test to illustrate the reliability of the numerical simulation prediction results. Exemplarily, the comparison between the predicted value of the modified Bonora model (in this application) and the test / theoretical value is shown in Table 1 below:

[0102]

[0103] In this embodiment, the burn-through threshold in step 9 is the maximum medium pressure that the pipeline can withstand under a specific welding current (or heat input).

[0104] As Figure 3 shown, this application provides an electronic device 1000, which includes a memory 1002 and a processor 1001. A computer program or instruction is stored in the memory 1002. When the computer program or instruction is executed by the processor 1001, it is at least used to implement the above method. As Figure 4 shown, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium 1100. A computer program or instruction is stored in the computer-readable storage medium 1100. When the computer program or instruction is executed by the processor, it is at least used to implement the above method.

[0105] Working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solutions:

[0106] 1. In-service welding burn-through is essentially a high-temperature deformation and fracture problem under the coupled action of multi-physical fields of welding and the medium pressure in the pipe. Its dynamic failure process occurs inside the high-temperature metal and undergoes dynamic evolution processes such as micro-defect initiation, micro-crack evolution, and macro-crack propagation. Finding characteristic parameters that can comprehensively consider the multi-field coupling effect of in-service welding and can quantitatively evaluate the risk of in-service welding burn-through is the key to the research on burn-through instability safety criteria. Damage mechanics can give a quantitative solution for burn-through based on the results of welding finite element simulation and damage theory under the premise of comprehensively considering the multi-field coupling effect. This application introduces the Bonora damage model to study the distribution law and evolution behavior of damage during the in-service welding burn-through process, taking the damage factor as a new characteristic parameter for evaluating in-service welding burn-through, providing a new way to evaluate the risk of in-service welding burn-through.

[0107] 2. By introducing the Bonora damage model, this application can study the distribution law and evolution behavior of damage during the in-service welding burn-through process and give a dynamic evolution nephogram of the process from damage evolution to burn-through, which provides guidance for studying the evolution behavior of micro-defects and micro-cracks during the in-service welding burn-through process.

[0108] 3. After introducing the Bonora damage model in this application, considering the misjudgment phenomenon caused by the inability to distinguish between tensile and compressive stress states in the stress triaxiality term of the original Bonora model, taking the radial stress (absolute value) greater than the yield strength as the discriminant condition for damage initiation and embedding it into the damage model not only eliminates the misjudgment phenomenon, but also realizes the organic integration of the in-service welding burn-through mechanism and the prediction method, thus giving a more accurate quantitative prediction value of the burn-through risk.

[0109] Obviously, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this application, and their purpose is to enable those familiar with this technology to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly. It is not intended to limit the protection scope of this application.
