Title: Research on High Cycle Fatigue Property for Butt Circumferential Weld of Marine Riser
Abstract: The four-point bend fatigue test method was used to measure the high cycle fatigue property of marine riser X80/X80J butt circumferential weld. The influence on crack initiation location of stress concentration,microstructure and hardness was analyzed comprehensively. The results showed that the fatigue crack of welded joint with weld reinforcement initiates from toes,and then extends to the heat affected zone from the weld reinforcement,while the crack initiates from weld and propagates along the weld without reinforcement. The stress concentration caused by the weld reinforcement is the main factor to reduce the welded joint fatigue performance. The fatigue limit of welded joint is 216 MPa for with reinforcement and 400 MPa for without the weld reinforcement.
