11、rewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a tech

12、nical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

13、 electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to

14、the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

16、corrosion cracks detected in service1 ScopeThis International Standard provides guidelines on the appropriate steps to take when a stress corrosion crack has been detected in service and an assessment has to be made of the implications for structural integrity.Such an evaluation should be made in th

17、e context of the perceived consequences of failure using appropriate risk-based management methodologies. Since this is application-specific, it is beyond the scope of this International Standard.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this d

18、ocument and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO 7539-6, Corrosion of metals and alloys Stress corrosion testing Part 6: Preparation an

20、scheduled inspection programme, repair will in most cases be initiated in a relatively short time-scale, by removing the component or by cutting out the damaged section and re-welding. However, in some circumstances there may be limited opportunity for repair and a pressure to keep the system in ope

21、ration until the next extended outage, to minimize lost production. In other applications, it may be considered that a crack can be tolerated, provided that there is an adequate framework for predicting the evolution of the crack, defining inspection intervals, and assessing the likelihood of failur

22、e. Such an evaluation may be incorporated with an assessment of the consequences of failure into a risk-based inspection methodology. The challenges faced in living with the crack for a short or long period are establishing when the crack started, relating this to service conditions including transi

23、ents (i.e. assessing whether the crack would be growing continuously or only in response to specific fluctuations in service conditions), evaluating the mechanical driving force, characterizing the state of material through which the crack initiated and will propagate, assessing the laboratory datab

24、ase and translating this to the perceived service operation conditions using fracture mechanics or other concepts.Leak before break (LBB) may also need to be evaluated where there is the risk of explosive or catastrophic failure, but, in practice, stress corrosion is usually detected and repaired fo

25、r operational reliability reasons.The purpose of this International Standard is to provide guidance in developing a damage-assessment process with some guidance on measures to control growth rates. ISO 2013 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 21601:2013ISO 21601:2013(E)4 Characterization of the nature and o

26、rigin of the crackA first step is to develop a complete physical assessment of the crack1)in terms of identifying its shape and dimensions (uncertainty in defect size assessment should be noted) as this will feed into any finite element/fracture mechanics analysis. This should include an assessment

27、of the crack location in relation to local stress concentrators, welds, crevices (e.g. at fasteners, flanges), and also the details of the crack path. If more than one crack is present, the crack density and the spacing between the cracks should be noted in view of possible future coalescence. Also,

28、 the state of the surface should be assessed for general or pitting corrosion damage.Characterizing the crack as a stress corrosion crack may be possible from visible observation, e.g. significant crack branching (although extensive branching, albeit possibly beneficial, may preclude simple stress a

29、nalysis and warrant removal of the crack). In most cases it is deduced from prior experience and awareness of the likelihood of other failure modes but recognizing that loading in service does not usually correspond to the simple static load tests conducted in the laboratory. Thus, there may be cycl

30、ic loading to some degree or dynamic straining associated with transient temperature changes. In many cases, distinction between a stress corrosion failure mechanism and a hydrogen embrittlement mechanism may not be possible. Where crack extension and remanent life assessment are the primary concern

31、s, this may not be a critical issue provided that the laboratory data used for assessment relate to the particular service conditions. However, mitigation procedures can be contingent upon knowledge of the cracking mechanism.Attention should be given to the operational history to assess the extent,

32、if any, of system upsets that may have contributed to the onset of cracking.5 Definition of service conditions and system history5.1 Stresses5.1.1 Operational stressesOperational stresses are usually well known from the design process and, in practice, rarely critical except in the sense of being ad

33、ditive to residual fabrication stresses. However, a word of caution is needed. These are sometimes higher than they were designed to be due to discrepancies between the design drawings and the as-manufactured components as a consequence of inadequate control during manufacture. This can result in hi

34、gher stresses than intended by designers where changes in section occur. For instance, the low pressure (LP) turbine shaft failures at Ferrybridge (1975)1occurred because the radius of the centre-collar stress relief grooves was smaller than the design value as a result of poor machining.Other probl

35、ems can arise if machining score marks are not ground out, causing increased stresses locally and sites for localized corrosion.5.1.2 Residual stressesResidual stress characterization in situ in service may be undertaken by a variety of methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is most commonly used. However

36、, since the depth of material sampled is less than 10 m, rough surfaces can give misleading results. In situ neutron diffraction methods may be possible with some relatively portable components but it is expensive. Depth variation of residual stress can be obtained by incremental hole-drilling but t

37、his is destructive, albeit at a local level, and requires repair. There is more scope for evaluation of removable parts and here XRD and electrochemical polishing can also be used for depth profiling of residual stress. Non-destructive depth profiling of residual stress requires access to a synchrot

38、ron radiation source and by implication is limited to removable parts. In the 1) Detection of the crack in the first instance may have been by a range of methods including ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission, visual inspection, dye penetration, electromagnetic and potential drop methods. More deta

39、iled information on crack shape and size may be derived from X-ray tomography, though confined to removable parts and potentially size limited.2 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 21601:2013ISO 21601:2013(E)absence of measurement, the residual stress may be assumed to be at the effective yield stren

40、gth (taking into account multi-axial stress state) for the parent material or weld metal, as appropriate, according to the location. However, the yield stress needs to be carefully evaluated in the light of the work-hardening capacity of the material and likely extent of local deformation. For criti

41、cal applications, mock-ups may be necessary for the evaluation of residual stresses and cold work by X-ray diffraction. Post-weld heat treatment should relieve residual stress but it may not always be performed fully or adequately. Hydrotesting of pipes or vessels may also relieve the residual stres

42、s, by an amount proportional to the applied pressure stress (e.g. Hewerdine et al.2). Since stress corrosion crack growth rates are often stress intensity factor (K) independent or weakly dependent on K in the Stage II region (see Clause 7) there may be some latitude in characterizing the residual s

43、tress for analysis above KISCC(KISCC: Mode I threshold stress intensity factor for stress corrosion cracking) but recognizing that there will be uncertainty in calculating the critical flaw size for unstable fracture.5.1.3 Multi-axial stressesMulti-axial stresses are usually dealt with by determinin

44、g the maximum principal tensile stress direction and assuming that stress corrosion cracks grow perpendicular to that direction. In fact, this is certainly an oversimplification and remains an area requiring further study. Isolated studies have shown that the biaxial or triaxial stress state should

45、not be ignored.5.1.4 Transients (e.g. thermal transients)The usual concern with thermal transients is that they superimpose a cyclic load on the static stresses, which may enhance the risk of cracking as described later. In addition, larger thermal transients typically associated with start-up or sh

46、ut-down of a plant will introduce significant dynamic loading for significant periods which again can enhance the risk of cracking (see later).5.1.5 Corrosion product wedgingSince the oxidized forms of common structural metals occupy a significantly larger volume than the metal from which they came,

47、 possible additional loading due to wedging cannot be ignored in crevices or growing cracks. In practice, only a few circumstances are known where this is practically important and usually arises where there is a significant occurrence of crevice corrosion.5.2 Service environment5.2.1 GeneralIntende

48、d service environments are normally well characterized (temperature, water chemistry, partial pressure of gases, total pressure) but lack of operator objectivity as to possible environmental transients is a serious handicap in many service failure investigations.5.2.2 Excursions from normal operatin

49、g conditionsThe probability of a leaking condenser, ion-exchange failure, residue from chemical cleaning, cooling water failure (giving temperature rise), oxygen ingress etc. all require objective assessment and wishful thinking on the part of plant operators in this respect is a serious handicap to finding practical solutions. The operational history should be examined carefully to assess the extent to which excursions occurred.The concern with a transient increase in temperature or change in service environment is that it may move the syst
