Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrogen pipeline performance testing technology, specifically involving a test method, system, electronic equipment, and storage medium for determining the critical fracture stress of a pipeline ring weld joint under hydrogen conditions. Background Technology
[0002] Economical, efficient, and safe hydrogen storage and transportation technologies have become a major obstacle to the large-scale development of the hydrogen energy industry, and breakthroughs in hydrogen storage and transportation technologies are urgently needed. Among various hydrogen storage methods, pipeline hydrogen transportation has advantages such as large transport capacity, low energy consumption, and low marginal cost, and is expected to become an important transitional technology towards a "hydrogen economy." However, technical safety issues in the field of hydrogen pipeline transportation are complex and diverse, presenting numerous challenges, including technical issues such as pipeline hydrogen damage and determining the hydrogen blending ratio, as well as management standards.
[0003] In a high-pressure gaseous hydrogen environment, welded joints in pipelines can experience hydrogen-induced cracking during use, leading to low-stress failure. Hydrogen-induced cracking occurs under the combined influence of materials, environment, and stress. Under controllable environmental conditions, the stress level is crucial in determining whether a material will undergo hydrogen-induced cracking. Specifically, for a material, when the amount of hydrogen penetration is constant, there exists a threshold stress value; when the actual stress exceeds this value, hydrogen-induced cracking is likely to occur. If a method can determine the critical stress value for hydrogen-induced cracking of a welded joint under a given environment, then if the actual stress is below this value, the joint can be considered unlikely to crack. Ideally, evaluating welded joints for hydrogen-induced cracking would involve testing actual joints in a real hydrogen service environment, but this is difficult to achieve due to the challenge of simulating such an environment. In laboratory evaluation, representative testing methods include constant load fracture tests, constant strain fracture tests, slow strain rate tensile tests, and fracture mechanics tests. However, these methods suffer from drawbacks such as high time costs, scattered results, and biased evaluations, limiting their practical application in engineering.
[0004] Therefore, existing experimental methods for determining the critical fracture stress of pipe ring weld joints under hydrogen conditions have shortcomings such as high time cost, scattered results, and one-sided evaluation, which have significant limitations in engineering applications.

[0057] To more clearly explain the experimental method for determining the critical fracture stress of a pipe ring weld joint under hydrogen conditions, the following is a detailed explanation. Figure 1 The steps in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0058] The experimental method for determining the critical fracture stress of a pipe ring weld joint under hydrogen conditions according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below:
[0059] Tensile specimens with transverse notches at the center of the weld joint were fabricated to obtain N specimens; all N specimens were identical; N was a natural number greater than 1; a sampling diagram is shown below. Figure 2 See the schematic diagram of the notched tensile specimen dimensions. Figure 3 ,
[0060] Calculate the root cross-sectional area of the notch based on the transverse notch size of the circumferential weld joint at the weld center;
[0061] The first specimen was subjected to a load in air at the displacement rate required by the tensile standard until fracture, and the maximum load P was obtained. FFS After the test, the test gas in the environmental chamber was discharged to one atmosphere, and then the environmental chamber was opened to take out the sample.
[0062] Based on the maximum load P FFSThe critical fracture load of each specimen was obtained by performing graded loading and holding tensile tests on specimens 2 through N sequentially at a set stress rate; the critical fracture load of each specimen was determined when the difference between the critical fracture load of specimen n-1 and the critical fracture load of specimen n was not greater than 5%P. FFS At that time, the critical fracture load smaller than the critical fracture load of the (n-1)th specimen is the threshold load; n is any natural number between 2 and N; see the loading diagram. Figure 4 ;
[0063] Specifically, before performing graded loading and holding tensile tests on specimens 2 through N at a set stress rate, the following steps are taken: For specimen n, before performing the graded loading and holding tensile test, specimen n is installed on a metal material hydrogen environment compatibility testing machine. Then, through three nitrogen purgings, three hydrogen purgings, and a 10-second hydrogen convection procedure, the nitrogen or air in the temperature-controlled high-pressure environment chamber is expelled, and pure hydrogen or hydrogen-doped gas with different hydrogen partial pressures at a predetermined pressure is introduced. Subsequently, the graded loading and holding tensile test is performed.
[0064] Specifically, the method for obtaining the critical fracture load of each specimen by sequentially performing graded loading and holding tensile tests on specimens 2 to N at a set stress rate includes: using a maximum load P that is 5% of the maximum load for each load stage. FFS The load was graded into 20 levels. The first 10 levels were maintained for 2 hours each, and the subsequent 10 levels were maintained for 4 hours each. A tensile test was performed on the second specimen under load, yielding its load-time and stiffness-time curves. Based on these curves, the critical fracture load P of the second specimen was determined. th-2 Using the critical fracture load of the (n-1)th specimen, which is 5% of the load at each stage, as the load, graded loading was performed. The first 10 stages were held for 2 hours each, and subsequent stages were held for 4 hours each. Tensile tests were conducted on the nth specimen under load to obtain its load-time and stiffness-time curves. Based on these curves, the critical fracture load P of the nth specimen was determined. th-n .
[0065] The formula for calculating stiffness is: Stiffness = (F 3' -F 1' ) / |(p3-p1)|, where: F 1' and F 3' They are Figure 4 The measured loads at midpoints 1' and 3'; p1 and p3 are respectively Figure 3 Displacement at midpoints 1 and 3.
[0066] Specifically, after performing graded loading and holding tensile tests on specimens 2 to N in sequence at a set stress rate, the following steps are taken: For specimen n, after completing the graded loading and holding tensile test, the gas in the temperature-controlled high-pressure environment chamber is discharged to one atmosphere, and then purged with nitrogen three times before the environment chamber is opened and specimen n is taken out.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the critical fracture load P of the nth specimen is obtained based on the load-time curve and stiffness-time curve of the nth specimen. th-n The method is as follows: the intersection of the two linear regression descending lines of the stiffness-time curve of the nth specimen corresponds to the load at the step on the load-time curve, which is the critical fracture load P of the nth specimen. th-n Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, two marker lines are added to the stiffness-time curve using linear regression. Their intersection point is the transition point from yielding to cracking of the specimen. The load corresponding to the step at the transition point is the critical fracture load P of the nth specimen. th-n .
[0068] Specifically, the third specimen can also be subjected to graded loading and tensile tests with load holding, where each load level ΔP3 = 5%P th-2 Total series = P FFS / △P3, the first 10 levels each have a 2-hour load guarantee, and after level 10, each level has a 4-hour load guarantee.
[0069] Based on the data from the second specimen, the critical fracture load P of the third specimen was determined. th-3 .
[0070] Specifically, the fourth specimen can also be subjected to graded loading and tensile tests based on the third specimen, with each load grade ΔP4 = 5% P. th-3 Total series = P FFS / △P4, the first 10 levels each have a 2-hour load guarantee, and after level 10, each level has a 4-hour load guarantee.
[0071] Based on the data from the second specimen, the critical fracture load P of the fourth specimen was determined. th-4 .
[0072] If necessary, graded loading and tensile tests can be performed on specimens 5 and 6 to obtain their critical fracture load P. th-5 P th-6 ...
[0073] When the difference between the critical fracture loads determined from two consecutive specimens is ≤5% P FFS When the lower of these values is determined, it is taken as the threshold load P. th .
[0074] The critical fracture stress is calculated based on the threshold load and the cross-sectional area at the notch root.
[0075] In this embodiment, the method for calculating the threshold load based on the threshold load and the cross-sectional area at the root of the notch is as follows: σ th =P th / S0;
[0076] Where, σ th P is the critical fracture stress. th Threshold load, S0 is the cross-sectional area at the root of the notch.
[0077] Preferably, the testing machine has the following functions: the ability to perform graded loading and load maintenance under high-pressure gas environment, and the ability to record load-time curves during the test. Preferably, the temperature-controlled high-pressure environment chamber is made of 304 or 316 stainless steel and can simulate the temperature and pressure environment of pure hydrogen or hydrogen-doped pipelines.
[0078] To better illustrate the test method for determining the critical fracture stress of a pipe ring weld joint under hydrogen conditions, this application also provides an example, which specifically includes:
[0079] The first step is to form a circumferential weld joint by welding the pipe circumferentially, and then follow the steps outlined below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A notched tensile test specimen was machined transversely to the circumferential weld joint (i.e., along the pipe axis). See the image below for the machined notched tensile test specimen. Figure 6 Calculate the cross-sectional area S0 at the root of the notch.
[0080] The second step involves loading the #0 notched tensile specimen in air at the displacement rate required by the tensile standard until fracture, and recording the maximum load P. FFS .
[0081] The third step is to exhaust the test gas in the environmental chamber to one atmosphere after the test is completed, and then open the environmental chamber to take out the sample.
[0082] The fourth step involves mounting the #1 notched tensile specimen on a hydrogen environment compatibility testing machine for metallic materials. Then, the nitrogen or air in the temperature-controlled, high-pressure environment chamber is removed through three nitrogen purgings, three hydrogen purgings, and a 10-second hydrogen convection cycle, introducing 10 MPa pure hydrogen gas. A graded loading and holding tensile test is then performed on the #1 specimen at a specific stress rate: maximum load P max =P FFS A total of 20 load levels are applied, with each level having a load ΔP1 = 5%. FFS The first 10 stages have a load-bearing capacity of 2 hours each, and the latter 10 stages have a load-bearing capacity of 4 hours each. See the loading diagram below. Figure 3 .
[0083] Step 5: After the test of specimen #1 is completed, the test gas in the environmental chamber is exhausted to one atmosphere, then purged three times with nitrogen, and the environmental chamber is opened to remove the specimen. The load-time curve and stiffness-time curve are plotted. The stiffness calculation formula is: Stiffness = (F... 3' -F 1' ) / |(p3-p1)|, where: F 1' and F 3' They are Figure 4 The measured loads at midpoints 1' and 3'; p1 and p3 are respectively Figure 4 Displacement at midpoints 1 and 3.
[0084] Step 6: Add two marker lines to the stiffness-time curve using linear regression. The intersection of these lines marks the transition point from yielding to cracking of the specimen. The load corresponding to the step at the transition point is the critical fracture load P of specimen #1. th-1 The test curve for sample #1 is shown below. Figure 7 P th-1 =70%P FFS .
[0085] Step 7: Perform graded loading and holding tensile tests on the #2 notched tensile specimen according to step (4): each load ΔP2 = 5% P th-1 Total series = P FFS / △P2, the first 10 levels each have a 2-hour load guarantee, and after level 10, each level has a 4-hour load guarantee.
[0086] Step 8: Process the data of sample #2 according to steps (5) and (6) to determine its critical fracture load P. th-2 The test curve for sample #2 is shown below. Figure 8 P th-2 =71.5% P FFS .
[0087] Step 9: Perform graded loading and holding tensile tests on the #3 notched tensile specimen according to step (4), with each load stage ΔP3 = 5% P. th-2 Total series = P FFS / △P3, the first 10 levels each have a 2-hour load guarantee, and after level 10, each level has a 4-hour load guarantee.
[0088] Step 10: Process the data of sample #3 according to steps (5) and (6) to determine its critical fracture load P. th-3 The test curve for sample #3 is shown below. Figure 9 P th-3 =70.8% P FFS .
[0089] Step 11: The difference between the critical fracture loads measured for specimens #2 and #3 is ≤5%P. FFSThe lower value of sample #3 was determined as the threshold load: P th =70.8%P FFS .
[0090] Step 12: Calculate the critical fracture stress σ th σ th =P th / S0.
