- Description
- For estimating the likely service life of brittle material pipes with exterior corrosion pits and subject to hydrogen embrittlement crack propagation from the pits is of interest. Similarity of pattern of fatigue cracking from these pits under pressure fluctuations to that under monotonically increasing pressure is referred to. This similarity permits the effect of hydrogen on the cracking rate to be formulated. The depth of cracks initiated from surface pits is estimated as a function of pipe service time, based on the proposed formulation for Hydrogen-Assisted Fatigue Cracking.
