Abstract

Large non-metallic inclusions and their effect on the hydrogen induced cracking behavior (HIC) of the X65 acid-resistant pipeline steel were investigated by means of metallography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). While the maximum size of non-metallic inclusions in the steels of different volume was predicted by extreme value statistics (SEV). According to the predicted inclusion of large size, the possible hydrogen induced cracks (HICs) evoked by the large inclusions were estimated for the X65 pipeline steel. The results show that the large non-metallic inclusions in X65 pipeline steel increase with the increase of the steel volume, and the predicted maximum inclusion size is consistent with the results of metallographic observation. The estimated size of HICs evoked by the inclusion of predicted maximum size is consistent with the crack length detected by HIC test of X65 pipeline steel.

Key words: anti-resistant pipeline steel non-metallic inclusion hydrogen induced crack statistics of extreme value
