The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline
ultrasonic impact treatment processes, in particular to an
ultrasonic impact treatment process method for a circumferential weld of a deepwater steel
catenary riser. The method comprises the following steps that
dirt in a weld
toe area is detected, and an ultrasonic
impact gun mechanical arm cleaning path is generated; the
impact force and frequency of cleaning are adjusted in real time in the cleaning process, the
impact depth in the cleaning process is monitored, and impact parameters of cleaning are controlled through a PI
D algorithm; after cleaning is completed, appearance quantitative evaluation is conducted on the grooves in the weld
toe area; and carrying out groove area size inspection and wall thickness confirmation based on appearance quantitative evaluation. According to the design, according to inspection of the size of the weld
toe groove on the surface of the weld joint and confirmation of the wall thickness of the groove, the standard of the
ultrasonic impact treatment process of the weld toe area is limited, the defects of
undercut, incomplete fusion, microcracks and the like of the weld toe area on the surface of the weld joint can be removed, smooth transition of the weld toe area of the steel
catenary riser is improved, and
stress concentration is remarkably reduced.
