Modification of Repair Welding on Control Valves and Flanges of Sure Gas
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kokabi, Amir Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research, for optimization of repair welding of control valve and flange that use in East Oil& Gas Company, effect of chemical composition, microstructure, hardness and stress relive on sulfide stress cracking (SSC) investigated with select of four electrodes. All welds were prepared by shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and investigated with optical microscope, hardness test, tensile test and SSC test. The results showed that increase of nickel content in the range of 0.032–1.58 wt. % in weld metals, decrease of acicular ferrite and increase of side plate ferrite, grain boundary ferrite and M/A micro constituent in microstructure. Ni3S2 decrease SSC resistance and (FeCu).S increase...
Finite Element Analysis of Repair Welding Residual Stress in Pressure Vessels and Piping System
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farrahi, Gholamhossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Repair welding is one of the most prevalent processes in repair and maintenance part of all industries. Amongst the issues of welding processes are residual stresses and distortions. Thus prediction of residual stresses and their distribution are important for designing welding procedure specifications. Circumferential butt weld is often used for joining steam and hot water lines in plants. Due to the intense concentration of heat in the welding, the regions near the weld line undergo severe thermal cycles. The thermal cycles cause non-uniform heating and cooling in the material, thus generating inhomogeneous plastic deformation and residual stresses in the weldment. The presence of residual...
