Resumo
O ensaio de queda de peso DWTT (Drop Weigth Tear Test) é um método amplamente utilizado pela indústria de óleo e gás para determinar a capacidade de um material em impedir a propagação de uma trinca. Esse método foi desenvolvido pelo Battelle Memorial Institute, e é realizado em conformidade com a especificação API RP 5L3 "Práticas Recomendadas para a Condução de Testes de Queda de Peso". Com o desenvolvimento dos aços ARBL, o comportamento dos aços vem mostrando algumas particularidades resultantes do processamento termomecânico, e por esse motivo, podem não apresentar o mesmo comportamento à fratura que aços mais antigos, como delaminações ou inclusões não metálicas. Atualmente são propostos dois tipos de entalhe, sendo o tipo prensado, obtido pela estampagem de uma matriz na amostra, e o tipo Chevron, que deve ser usinado. A correlação entre ambos os entalhes pode ser realizada apenas para a análise da porcentagem da superfície dúctil da fratura. Outros tipos de correlação como energia absorvida para impacto, não são recomendados, uma vez que a concentração de tensão para o entalhe Chevron é muito maior, facilitando o rompimento da amostra, enquanto que o entalhe prensado demanda maior energia, uma vez que possui maior encruamento na região. No presente trabalho foram realizados os levantamentos de curvas de temperatura de transição dúctil e frágil (TTDF) do material base do tubo com dimensões de 762 mm x 38,1 mm de aço carbono com grau API X60, através da análise da porcentagem de fratura dúctil resultante cujo os resultados se mostraram equivalentes tanto para o entalhe Prensado como Chevron; energia absorvida pela leitura do equipamento de DWTT com cutelo instrumentado, apresentando resultados não comparativos, sendo necessário maior energia para fraturar um CP com entalhe Prensado e menor energia para fraturar um CP com entalhe usinado Chevron; e expansão lateral, resultante das amostras para ambos os tipos de entalhes, cujo os resultados possuem similaridade, entretanto não equivalentes. Para correlacionar a energia absorvida, também foi realizada a TTDF por ensaio de impacto (CVN), contudo a correção não foi possível, devido ao tamanho da amostra ser distinta ao DWTT
The Drop Weigth Tear Test (DWTT) is a method widely used by the oil and gas industry to determine the ability of a material to prevent the propagation of a crack. This method was developed by the Battelle Memorial Institute, and is performed in accordance with API RP 5L3 "Drop-Weight Tear Tests on Line Pipe" specification. With the development of ARBL steels, the behavior of steels has shown some particularities resulting from thermomechanical processing, and for this reason, they may not present the same fracture behavior as older steels, such as delamination or nonmetallic inclusions. Currently two types of notch are proposed, being the type pressed, obtained by the stamping of a matrix in the sample, and the type Chevron, that must be machined. The correlation between both notches can be performed only for the analysis of the percentage of the ductile surface of the fracture. Other types of correlation as energy absorbed for impact are not recommended, since the stress concentration for the Chevron notch is higher, facilitating the rupture of the sample, while the notched press demands greater energy, since it has greater hardening in the region. In the present study, the ductile and brittle transition temperature (TTDF) curves of the base material of the pipe with dimensions of 762 mm x 38.1 mm of carbon steel with API grade X60 were carried out, through the analysis of the percentage of ductile fracture resulting whose results were shown to be equivalent for both notch: Pressed and Chevron; energy absorbed by reading DWTT equipment with instrumented cleaver, presenting non-comparative results, requiring greater energy to fracture a sample with notched Press and lower energy to fracture a sample with Chevron machined notch; and lateral expansion, resulting from the samples for both types of notches, whose results have similarity, however not equivalent. In order to correlate absorbed energy, TTDF was also performed by impact test (CVN), however correction was not possible, because the sample size was distinct from DWTT
