Abstract:
The fatigue crack growth rate of 4130X steel used in compressed natural gas vessel in H2S environment was investigated in this paper. Considering working environment and stress status of the vessel, modified WOL specimens were used in experiments, the frequency of experiments was 0.0067Hz, and the environments of experiments were saturated H2S environment, moderate concentration and laboratory air. The relations between FCGR-da/dN and the increment of fracture toughness Delta K were determined through data fit based on Paris method. A correlation study between the microscopic features of the crack growth's three stages and the tendency of stress intensity factor (K) to the test samples has been carried out. Then the quantitative results of K of the three stages in different environments were concluded. The results show that: the da/dN in H2S environment is 20 times more than that in air environment; but the value of da/dN doesn't increase when the H2S density reaches to a certain limit, the H2S corrosion medium accelerates the fatigue failure.
