Resumo
Devido ao aumento da demanda no mercado de tubos de condução, houve a necessidade de um incremento na velocidade de soldagem na etapa interna, que possui uma defasagem em média de 10 pol./min em relação a etapa externa. Isto porque o processo trabalha com três arames na etapa interna pelo método de soldagem por arco submerso, enquanto o externo, com quatro arames. Como ação, a etapa interna foi aumentada para quatro arames a fim de equalizar a velocidade destas etapas. Porém, há a necessidade de se definir qual será a velocidade limite. Assim, neste estudo aplicado a tubos de condução, segundo a norma API 5L e grau X70, inicialmente, foi feita uma retirada de amostra de macrografia da solda para avaliar o alinhamento entre o cordão de solda interno e o externo e a sobreposição entre os cordões de solda. Posteriormente, foi realizada na porção da solda interna, os ensaios de dureza pelo método de Vickers e ensaio de impacto pelo método de Charpy, obtendo-se as curvas de transição. Com o auxilio do gráfico t 8/5 foram definidos os limites de velocidade de soldagem para aplicar na EPS (Especificação do Procedimento de Soldagem). Pode-se obter maior confiabilidade na decisão da variável velocidade de soldagem que irá contemplar na EPS e com menor quantidade de retirada de amostras, através dos limites e valores máximos e mínimos da dureza. Desta forma, a prática mostrou-se satisfatória e os resultados mostraram a faixa de velocidade para atender com segurança os limites de valores das propriedades mecânicas solicitados pela norma API 5L.
Due to increased in the demand for conduction pipes in the market, there has been a necessity to increase the welding speed in the internal phase, which has an average discrepancy of 10 inches / min when compared to the external phase. It happens because the process works with three wires in the internal step method following the submerged arc welding, while the external one uses four wires. As a consequence the internal step was increased to four wires in order to equalize the speed of these steps. There are need to define what the top speed limit is. Therefore this study is applied to conduction pipes, according to API 5L grade X70 and, at first, a sample was drawn from Macrographic solder to assess the alignment between the weld and the inside and the outside overlap between the weld. This was followed by the analyses of the inside portion of weld, the hardness test method for Vickers and impact test Charpy method, obtaining the curves of transition. With the help of graphic t 8 / 5 speed limits were set to apply to welding in WPS (Welding Procedure Specification). It is possible to achieve more reliability in the decision about variable welding speed that will include the WPS and the least amount of sampling through the limits and minimum and maximum hardness. Thus the practice was satisfactory and the results showed that the speed range meets the safety limits of values of the mechanical properties required by the standard API 5L.
