Abstract
The in-service degradation of pipeline steels, affecting performance of natural gas transportation infrastructure, is now comprehensively investigated with the usage of various approaches. Steel degradation implies embrittlement and decreasing the mechanical properties, increasing a failure risk of pipelines. The mechanical properties of strength and plasticity, which can be changed due to degradation under long-term operation of pipeline steels, are usually evaluated by tension tests based on the obtained stress–strain diagrams in nominal values, i.e. without taking into account a change of cross-section of specimen during tension. In this paper it is proposed to use true stress–strain diagrams for an assessment of in-service degradation degree of gas pipeline steels. The low-alloyed X52 pipeline steel in as-received state and after 30 years of operation on the gas transit pipeline was investigated. The obtained results demonstrating the advantage of a usage of true stress–strain dependences instead of nominal ones are discussed.
