摘要
This article reports the crack growth behavior of X-65 pipeline steel in near-neutral PH environments. Although it is often referred to as stress corrosion cracking (SCC), the crack growth behavior of pipeline steels in near-neutral PH environments has been found to be consistent with that of true corrosion fatigue, and the crack growth rate da/dN can be correlated with Delta(KKmax)-K-2/f(0.1). This correlation enables the determination of threshold Delta(KKmax)-K-2/f(0.1) values that demarcate the boundary between active growth and dormancy. Crack tip blunting was observed when a loading condition gave a Delta(KKmax)-K-2/f(0.1) value below the threshold. The threshold is found to be environmentally sensitive, and possibly also material dependent, but the details are yet to be determined.
