Part 1: Development and Application of Weld Strength Reduction Factors Guideline (Task 1b/3 project report) This report ties the elements of Parts 2 and 3 into an application guideline. The guideline includes description of a fra

15、mework for analyzing laboratory data and using the weld joint influence factor development methods. The Part 1 report provides examples of application to two weld/weldment databases for longitudinal seam welds, illustrating the usefulness of the methodology. The examples are for Grade 91 steel that

16、is susceptible to weld heat-affected zone failure, and Grade 22 steel that has and continues to be used in long seam-welded piping construction. The results are compared with current Code rules, literature findings, and experience. Part 2: Literature Review, Industry Approach, and Data Compilation i

17、n Support of WSRF Development (Task 1a project report) This report includes a compilation of laboratory and experience data on weldments for select materials of common use and interest carbon steel, low alloy CrMo steels, austenitic stainless steels, Alloy 800/800H, and Grade 91. A critical part of

18、this extensive database development was collecting relevant information not available to the ASME Code committees when allowable stresses were set for some of these materials. Also given in this report is a summary of approaches that have been taken in establishing weld strength reduction factors wo

19、rldwide. Part 3: Development of Weld Joint Influence Factors (Task 2 project report) The report describes an analysis tool to evaluate the creep rupture strength of a weldment relative to that of base metal, benchmarked against select cases of field experience and laboratory component testing. The m

20、ethodology can be used for calculating weld joint influence factors for any practical combination of materials and weldment geometries in a relatively quick and computationally efficient manner, also allowing for use of relatively simple materials models readily available to designers.

40、or Service in the Creep Regime and Application to ASME Codes 16 2.2 Step 2: Grade 22 Data Analysis A preferred analysis method was first developed through exploration of the base metal database. Following this, the same method was employed for the weld metal and the cross-weld databases. The approac

41、h and results are briefly summarized below. 2.2.1 Base Metal Data Analysis First, two fitting functions were explored: ASME Code-typical (log stress polynomial) : log tR = a0 + a1/T + a2(logS)/T + a3(logS)2/T +a4(logS)3/T Spera function, as used in 1990 by the ASME Code for Grade 22 11: log tR = b0

42、+ b1/T + b2(logS)/T + b3(S)/T +b4(S)2/T where tR is the rupture time, T is the test temperature in absolute units, S is the test stress, and the coefficients, a0 through a4 and b0 through b4 are coefficients determined through a regression curve-fitting procedure. In each case, in order to examine t

43、he behavior in comparison with that expected from experience, a0 and bo were allowed to float and their best-fit values checked against the expected LMP constant C=20 value (a0 and b0 = -20). The final regression fits used in this study were developed by constraining the a0 and b0 to -20. For a firs

44、t view of the behavior, all of the data were analyzed. Both curve-fits gave floating a0 and b0 values that were significantly lower in magnitude than the expected 20, suggesting that this database exhibits behavior different from that used in development of the ASME Code allowable (b0 close to -20).

45、 However, constraining the fits to a0=b0=-20 did not reduce the quality of the fits by much. The Spera function fit gave a lower standard error of the estimate (SEE) for log tR. Based on the overall fitting capability for the data sets examined here, it was decided to use the Spera function througho

46、ut the remainder of this Grade 22 data analysis. As noted earlier, a case may be made for censoring the data above 20 ksi. Further, a re-analysis of the censored data (245 data points) gave a vastly improved quality of fit, reducing the log tR SEE from 0.44 to 0.12 for the Spera function fit. Figure

47、 10 shows the data and corresponding curve-fit to the base metal data at 20 ksi and below. The best-fit function is: log tR = -20 + 43009.92/T 2884.39(logS)/T - 338.394(S)/T + 4.094(S)2/T (1) with tR in hours, T in degree R, S in ksi and a log tR SEE of 0.118. 2.2.2 Weld Metal Data Analysis The weld

48、 metal data exhibited considerably more scatter than did the base metal data (compare Figs. 8 and 9). As a result, the curve-fits gave significantly higher standard errors. As with the base metal data analysis, the analyzed data were restricted to 20 ksi and below. The data scatter increases with st

49、ress, and the extent of scatter above 20 ksi (see Figure 9) is such that restricting the analysis to data at 20 ksi and below significantly improved the curve-fit. As with the base metal, the floating LMP constant fit produced a value for C of about 13, significantly lower than the value of 20 typical and expected for base metal. Constraining the fit to C=20 increased the SEE (from about 0.33 to 0.39).
