1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study is to provide ar.alytical verification of a resistance heating stress ibprovement (RHSI) procedure for sensitized stainless steal pipe joints. This study is conducted in parallel with an experimenthi investigation which involves:

1) applying the procedure to a test pipe under laboratory conditions,
2) doing a destructive residual stress determination on the laboratory pipe, and
3) applying the RHSI procedure to two pipe joints in the field.

The analytical verification makes extensive use of temperature l measurements made during all three of the RHSI applications. By using the experimentally determined temperatures, rather than

( temperatures from an analytical temperature model, the number of I

assumptions required in the analysis are significantly reduced; thus improving the reliability of the analytical residual stre.ss predictions.

The analytically predicted residual stresses for the lab weld l

application of the RHSI procedure are compared with the experimentally determined stresses and are found to be in good agreement. Both experimental results and analytical results indicate that the laboratory RHSI application produced inner surface axial and hoop residual stressas which are at or above p

the compressive yield stress of the material.

As might be expected, the field applications resulted in temperature histories which are less favorable than those l obtained in the laboratory application. Typically, the less favorable nature of the temperature histories involve localized regions in which either the through-wall temperature gradient is i 1

g INTEGRITY ACI:OCIATEINC A

4 smaller than optimum, or the axial lergth of the RMSI temperature zone is smaller than optimum. Analytical simulations are used to show that sufficient margin exists in the procedure that these expected and largely uncontrollable deviations do not result in unacceptable reductions in the effectiveness of the RHSI procedure.

,a 2.0 APPROACH This study uses several types ccf analytical stress modeln to examine the RHSI procedure. All model,s are one- or two-dimensional. Three- dimensional modeling was not considered cost effective for this study, and is generally less amenable to sensitivity studies than one- or two- dimensional models.

. 2.1 Axisymmetric Analysis The RHSI procedure is designed to produce an axisymmetric l temperaturo field which, in turn, results in an axioymmetric l residual stress field. Provided, the RHSI temperature field is l

axisymmetric and results in sufficient plastic deformation, l

non-axisymmetry in the original welding induced residual stret ss will not significantly alter the e xisymm'.stry of the post-RHSI l~

residual stresses.

Therefore, axisymmetric analyses are the most I natural means for modeling the RHSI procedure.

l Figure 1 shows the axisymmetric finite element grid used to model

, the RHSI of the 28-inch pipes of this study. This particular grid assumes symmetry about the RHSI temperature band centerline.

A second axisymmetric model is also used which does not assume symmetry about the RHSI temperature band centerline. This second I grid contains twice the number of elements as the grid shown in Figure 1, and is 40 inches in length instead of 20 inches.

The RHSI procedure is designed to produce a temperature gradient r through the pipe wall which is sufficient in magnitude to produce significant plasticity. To generate the required temperature gradient, it is necessary to cool the inner surface of the pipe while heating the outer surface. While the through-wall temperature gradient is a key parameter of the RHSI procedure, a second parameter of importance is the axial length of the RHSI STRUCTURJLL 3 INTEGRITY ASSOCIATESINC

induced temperature band. If the temperature band is not sufficiently long, shell type bending tends to relax the stresses being induced by the through-wall temperature gradient and thus reduces the effectiveness of the procedure. 'Ih e axisymmetric models include the effects of through-wall temperature gradient as well as the effects of the RMSI tamperature band's axial l longth.

s. While the ideal RHSI temperature distribution is axisymmetric, l various practical considerations generally result in the

. temperature distribution having some dependence on circumferential position. The variation can be in terms of peak l outer surface temperature (temperature gradient), or in terms of

. the axial length of the temperature band.

l Inherent in the use of axisymmetric models to examine this temperature band length eff ect is the assumption that localized (i.e., occurring over a small circumferential length) axial 4

shortening of the temperature band will have a less detrimental i

effect on the stress improvement than a similar 360 degree shortening of the temperature band. That is, by modeling the shortest axial length of the temperature band with the axisymmetric model, the predicted residual stress improvement l

will be conservative (i.e., predicted stresses will be less compressive than the actual stresses).

2.2 One-Dimensional Analysis t- For the limiting case in which the axial size of the RHSI temperature band becomes very large, the stresses near the center of the temperature band can be predicted using a one-dimensional model. The residual stresses predicted by this model for a given through-wall temperature distri'bution will be approached i asymptotically by residual stresses obtained from axisymmetric models as the length of the temperature zone is increased. It is t

c. .

because of this bounding relationship and the relacive ease of obtaining the one-dimensional solutions that they are considered in this study.

l 2.3 Generalized Plane Strain Analysis The effect of peak outer surface temperature variations around the circumference of the pipe are examined in this study using A generalized plane strain (GPS) models. Figure 2 shows the finite

! element grid for the GPS model used in this study. This grid

, represents half of the pipe cross-section and reflects the fact

( that the RHSI temperature distributions being examined in this study have a plane of symmetry.

i By generalized plane strain, it is meant that the axial strains i are assumed to result in plane sections remaining plane.

Therefore, in general, the pipe can have an axial expanrion (or I

contraction), and two bending modes. Two types of GPS analyses are considered in this study. In both types, the axial expansion 7, and contraction of the pipe is unrestrained (i.e., the net axial

force is zero). The bending modes, however, are treated

, differently in the two types of GPS analyses. In one, the pipe is forced to remain straight; in the other, the pipe is allowed to bend so as to maintain zero net bending moments.

2.4 Effect of Initial Residual Stress on RHSI Effectiveness This study considers the effect that welding induced residuals p have on thre effectiveness of the RHSI procedure. A conservative approach to the effect of initial residual stresses is taken by assuming a worst case initial stress condition. A worst case condition is assumed to result when the initial residual stresses are as far from the final desired distribution as can be reasonably achieved and still maintain equilibrium and i

compatibility within the models.

Figure 3 shows the initial residual stresses that are used in the axisymmetric models. The axisymmetric residuals are obtained by applying a temperature cycle which is similar to one that might be used to model a butt veld. However, the welding heat input rate that would be required to achieve the temperatures us6d in this study would be above the range that is commonly used and thus the initial residual stresses are worse that, are commonly found for 28-inch pipe butt welds.

I l Figure 4 shows the initial residual stresses that are used in the one- dimensional and the CTb models. This residual stress pattern is obtained by applying a temperature cycle k.lch is est,entially the inverse of the RHSI cycle. That is, the inside of the pipe is heated while the outside is kept cool. Note that the initial residual stresses for the one- dimensional and GPS models are different from those for the axisymmetric models (particularly in the hoop direction).

i 2.5 Heat Transfer Analytris As noted above, this study relied heavily on thermocouple measurements for determining temperature input to the stress models. Both OD and ID temperature measurements were made in the laboratory application. A one-dimensional heat transfer model was used to predict the shape of the through-wall distribution considering a uniform outside surface heat input and a convective inside surface boundary condition. From this model, it was determined that the through-wall temperature distribution for the e pipe diameter to wall thickness ratio of the subject welds is l l

essentially linear. Thus a linear interpolation scheme was used to interpolate between the measured OD end ID surface temperatures for input to the stress models.

ID temperature measurements wnre not practical for the field applications. Therefore, the one-dimensional heat transfer model l

. s

< s was also used. to determine inner surface temperatures for the field RHSI simulations. Once the inner surface temperatures were determined in this manner, the same linear interpolation scheme was used for through-wall temperature distributions.

Applying the heat transfer model to the lab test temperature data, the heat transfer coefficient for the inner pipe surface was found to be about 2000 Btu /ft2-hr-F. Since this heat transfer coefficient is believed to be larger than that which can i be achieved in field applications, and since a smaller f coefficient increases the l'.n e r surface temperature, and thus results in a less ef fectivs temperature distribution, the field simulations conservatively assume a heat transfer coefficient of 1000 Btu /ft2-hr-F. A change in the coefficient from 2000 to 1000 )

causes the inner surface temperature to increase by only about 20 F and thus, the effect of this assumed heat transfer coefficient is not expected to have a significant impact on the results and conclusions of this study.

2.7 Finite Element Program The finite elen.ent program WELDSII is used for all stress I

, analyses of this study (1-6). This methodology for residual stress modeling of welding and heat treatment processes was initially developed at Battelle's Columbus Laboratories (1, 2, 3] l with support from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). As a result of g

numerous complexities associated with modeling such processes and the extreme expense that would be incurred if each aspect of the-7 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY I ASSOCIATESINC

. 1 processes were modtled with state of the art analytical tools,  ;

the methodology uses a number of simplifying assumptions. Most of these assumptions are difficult to justify based solely on analytical reasoning and therefore extensive experimental verification of the methodology has resulted. (1-6). While the WELDSII modeling methodology was developed for pipe girth welds, and the bulk of experimental verification has been for girth welds, the methodology has been successfully applied to other

a. geometries and processes (2, 6, 7). Justification of the WELDSII computational methodology for the present RHSI analysis is based

. largely on the extensive analytical and experimental data presented in (7), describing application of this technique to the technically similar IHSI process.

! This section presents the results of the numerous axisymmetric, l one-dimensional, and GPS analyses which have been made in this l study. While analyses are made for all three RNSI applications, i most of the results being presented are associated with the RHSI l field application to Wald 28- 108. The reason for this is that this application resulted in temperature distributions which

a. deviated more from the RHSI design temperature distribution (both in terms of peak outer surface temperature and in terms of axial length of the temperature band) than did the other two applications. Therefore, this was the natural choice for assessing the sensitivity of the RHSI method to less than optimal temperature distributions.

3.1 Laboratory Test Pipe RHSI Analysis ,,

Figure 5 shows the outer surface thermocouple data at the point in time when power is removed from the resistance heaters. The data from the 0, 120, and 240 degree azimuths are all plotted together so as to be able to determine a lower bound temperature distribution. This distribution is shown on the plot and is the one used in the subsequent axisymmetric stress analysis. The 700 F constant temperature section of this lower bound distribution has a length of 3.18 in. or about 0.75 6 . The curved portions  ;

of the temperature distribution are parabole s. The total width l of the temperature band is 17 in. or about 4M. The inner surface temperature distribution has a similar shape to the outer r- surface with its maximum temperature of 6) F being based on actual thermocouple data. This temperature distribution is named A6 where the A stands for axisymmetric.

l Figure 6 shows the ;esults of 'the axisymmetric RHSI stress analysis for the laboratory test pipe. Two analyses are I

presented. One analysis simulates the RHSI procedure being applied to a stress-free pipe. The other simulates the application to a pipe with residual stresses. as indicated in ,

Figures 3 and 6. .

It is seen that the predicted inner surface stresses near the weld are 1) highly compressive, 11) largely independent of the initial residual stress state, and lii) extend for a distance of F several inches to either side of the weld centerline. Near the pipe midwall, the effect of the initial residual stresses is more

'i pronounced. This effect is due to the RHSI process creating a bending type of stress field which has a neutral axis near the midwall and thus producing the largest plastic strains at the inner and outer pipe surfaces.

Figure 7 compares the predicted residual stresses wita those obtained from the destructive experimental residual stress determination of the laboratory test pipe. It is seen that the experimentally determined stresses range from a low value near the compressive yield point of the material to a high of three to four times the compressive yield point. The analytical model

, thus conservatively underpredicts the experimentally observed residual stress benefits of the RHSI process. This is believed to be due to the use of lower, base metal tensile properties j throughout the model, and the fact that strain hardening of the weldment during the welding process was not modeled. This comparison is very similar to that presented between IHSI analyses and experiments 1.1 (7), and demonstrates that the

'~

WELDSII analysis provides a conservative basis for the evaluations of field RHSI applications which follow.

3.2 Weld 28-108 RHSI Analyses i As mentioned previously, analyses for Weld 28-108 are more extensive than for the other RHSI applications due the RHSI STRUCTURM.

temperatures being judged least favorable of the three cases being considered.

3.2.1 One-Dimensional Analyses of the Walo 24-108 RHSI 1

1 The one-dimensional model consists of a single stack of eight I i

axisymmetric elements through the pipe wall thickness. Boundary l conditions are imposed which require that plane sections remain plane. The one-dimensional model serves to illustrate the best residual stress improvement that a given axisymmetric through thickness temperature distribution is capable of providing.

Figure 8 compares the residual stress improvement associated with four maximum outer surface temperatures. The inner surface temperature is determined by a steady-state one-dimensional thermal analysis which assumes an inner surface heat transfer coefficient of 1000 Btu /ft2-hr-F. The lowest outer surface temperature that is considered is 400 F (Figurie 8a). It is seen that this temperature tosults in very small residual stresses for l the case in which the pipe is initially stress-frem. Despite the small effect this distribution has on the stress-free pipe, it does significantly reduce the tensile residua $ stresses for the pipe with initial tensile residual stresses. However, highly compressive residual stresses cannot be attained with this level l

I of temperature.

Figure 8b s, hows the residual stress improvement from a 550 F outer surface temperature. This temperature produces significant

" compressive stresses at the inner surface for both the 1 l

stress-free and the initial residual stress condition. The reversal in the slope of the final stress distributions near the midwall, however, indicate that the RHSI induced plasticity is largely limited to the pipe surfaces.

(

STRUCTURAL 11 DCIT,GRUY ASSOCVu"ESIWO

e Figures 8c and 8d are representative of the outer sur. face temperatures which are generally obtained with the RHSI procedure. It is seen that the difference between the stress-free and initial stress results become progressively smaller, and that the tendency for a reversal in the slope of the curves near midwall decrease as the outer scrface temperature (and thus temperature gradient) is increased. Temperatures above 300 F would not significantly improve the distribution obtained

s. with 900 F.

3.2.2 Axisymmetric Analyses of the Weld 28-108 RHSI Figure 9 summarizes the thermocouple data from three azimuths of the Weld 28-108 RHSI application. Figure 9a and 9b both show the data from the 240 degree azimuth. Figure 93 shows a fit to the data which does not assume that the RHSI temperaturas have a plane of symmetry. The fit shown in Figure 9b assumes a plane of symmetry.

The temperature fit of Figure 9b has a total temperature band I

width of 13.28 in. or about 3 6 . The temperature fits of 9c and i 9d have a total band width of 17.71 or about 4 6 . The central I constant temperature region of both 9c and 9d is 4.42 in. or about 1.0 6 .

I It can be seen in Figure 9 that all of the temperature fits are shifted relative to the weld centerline. For the temperature distributions of 9c and 9d, the shift is fairly small compared to e the overall temperature cand width. However, the distributions for the 240 degree azimuth shov a fairly large shift compared to the temperature band width. Due to this large shift, and due to the fairly poor fit of the data in 9b, two axisymmetric analyses of the 240 degree azimuth temperatures are made.

STRUCTURAL 12 M ASSOCIATESINC

f The axisymmetric analysis using the temperature distribution of Figure 9a does not assume a symmatry plane. That is, both sides of the veld and RHSI temperature field are modeled. The results of this analysis are shown in Figure 10. It can be seen that the final inner surface residual stresses are compressive. However, in the case of initial residual stresses, the axial stress is only compressive by a small amount (10 ksi), and there remains a tensile stress zone at about 0.2 inches below the surface.

As discussed previously, the stress results obtained from an axisymmetric analysis of a temperature distribution which represents a localized cool spot are expected to be conservative.

That is, if a cool spot is relatively small, then neighboring material which is outside the cool spot is expected to offset the effect of the cool spot and result in stresses which are more favorable than would be predicted by . an axisymmetric analysis,

( which assumes the cool spot to be 360 degrees. This type of behavior can be seen from the GPS analyses to be discussed below.

The results from a second analysis of the 240 degree azimuth are i

presented in Figure 11. These results are from using the

. symmetrical temperature distribution of Figure 9b. This analysis addresses 1) the effect of assuming the symmetry plane of the initial residual stresses coincides with the symmetry plane of l the RHSI temperature field, and 11) the effect of using a temperature fit which fell below the thermocouple data points at one side of the temperature band. It is seen that the results are not significantly different from those of Figure 10. This similarity serves as a justification for assuming that the symmetry plane of the initial residual stresses coincides with the symmetry plane of the RHSI temperature distribution for the remaining axisymmetric analyses. .

( .Igures 12 and 13 show the stresses resulting from the axisymmetric analyses using the temperature distributions of STRUCTURAL

' 13 M ASSOCIATESINC

Figures 9c and 9d, respectively. Both analyses result in strongly compressive axial and hoop stresses at the inner pipe surface as well as for a significant distance below the surface. l l

It is seen that the higher temperature case (Figure 9d and Figure l l

13) results in noticeably stronger compression at points beneath '

the surface but results in very similar stresses at the surface.

{

3.2.3 Generalized Plane Strain (GPS) Analyses of the Wald 28-108 RHSI The above axisymmetric analyses illustrate the residual stress improvement that results from RHSI temperature distributions which do not. vary with circumferential position. For the

. distributions which are generally representative of RHSI temperatures (i.e., Figure 9c and 9d), these analyses give results which are expected to be representative . of the actual

stress improvement. For the distributions which represent localized cool spots (Figure 9a and 9b), these analyses give results which are indicative of the worst case (i.e., when the cool spot approaches 360 degrees).

The purpose of the GPS analyses is to further examine the effect

! of localized cool spots on the effectiveness of RHSI. This is done by considering two circunferential temperature profiles based on the thermocouple data from the RHSI of Weld 28-108.

These two temperature profiles are designated G1 and G2 and are shown in Figure 14. Both profiles are symmetrical about the 0/180 degree plane as requirsd by the finite element model of Figure 2.

As a result of the GPS temperature distributions not being axisymmetric, one side of the pipe tends to expand more than the other thus creating a tendency for bending of the pipe. The I effect of bending restraint is addressed by considering the two limiting cases of no bending restraint and total bending i

constraint. Axial expansion and contraction is permitted to occur freely in all GPS analyses as well as in all of the previously discussed axisymmetric and one-dimensional analyses.

Since it has been demonstrated that analyses which assume worst case initial residual stresses result in less favorable RMSI results than analyses which assume an initially stress-free condition, the GPS results are presented only for the case of initial stress.

Figure 15 shows the results of the GPS analyses in terms of inner and outer surface stresses. It is seen that the entire inner surface is predicted to have axial and hoop stresses which are in the neighborhood of the compressive yield stress. While the locations of the cool spots are readily discernible from the outer surface stresses, the inner surface stresses give no clue to as to their location.

(

l Figures 16 and 17 show the through thickness stresses from the i GPS analyses. Generally, the residual stresses are quite similar to'those obtained from the axisymmetric analyses of typical RHSI l temperature distributions (Figures 9c, 9d, 12, and 13) despite l the existence of regions where the maximum outer surface j temperature is less than 600*F. j The GPS analj ses are similar to the one-dimensional analyses in that they inherently assume the axial width of the temperature band is very large. For this reason, the GPS results may be overly optimistic at locations for which the width of the RHSI temperature band is less than the design width. However, it can be seen from Figures 16 and 17, that the least favorable (least compressive) stress distributions tend to be for circumferential i locations which have the highest temperatures rather than the l lowest. For example, Figures 16a and 17a both show the least

.I faverable axial stress profile occurring at angular position E which corresponds to the position of the hottest outer surface i

f7MJCTURAL 15 DffEQUTY ASSOCIATESHC

0- 6 t

temperature. Position C, which corresponds to the sectien with the coolest temperatures has the most favorable stresses.

This unexpected behavior of the GPS model is believed to be the result of ovalization of the cross-section due to the form of the circumferential temperature variation being considered. The ovalization tends to reduce the RHSI induced plasticity at the hot sections (which occur at the major axes of the oval) and

~

tends to increase the plasticity at the cooler sections. While )

this pronounced of an effect is not to be expected in general, it is clear that the detrimental effects of localized outer surface cool spots will generally be reduced as a result of neighboring regions which have higher outer surface temperatures.

Figures 16 and 17 show that the presence or absence of bending restraint is of secondary importance compared to the temperature t distribution. Typically, the difference between the two extreme bending restraint conditions is less than 10 kai for the G1 and G2 temperature cases considered here. The more axisymmetric the

RHSI temperature distribution becomes, the smaller the effect of I

bending restraint will become.

l Figure 18 illustrates the degree of bending which the G1 and G2 temperature distributions induce. Figure 18a and 18b are for the l

case in which bending is unrestrained while 18c and 18d are for the totally restrained case. The curvature and moment information can be converted into equivalent elastic bending stresses using simple beam theory with the following results.

~

The final curvatures for the unrestrained G1 and G2 cases are equivalent to 5.9 and 0.4 ksi, respectively. The final moments for the totally restrained G1 and G2 cases are equivalent to 9.9 and 5.4 ksi, respectively. The axial contractions for the four cases are equivalent to an average axial stress between 14.6 and

' 17.9 ksi. These results are consistent with the GPS results for this weld presented in Figures 16 and 17.

3.2.4 Summary and comparison of Weld 28-108 RHSI Analyses The results from the axisymmetric, one-dimensional, and GPS models of the Wald 28-108 RHSI are compared in Figures 19, 20, and 21. Figure 19 compares the inner surf ace axial and hoop stresses. The tendency for the axisymmetric analyses to produce a worst case behavior for axial stresses is readily apparent.

6 The differences between the axisymmetric results and the P one-dimensional results are primarily due to the finite axial I

width of the temperature band in the axisymmetric analyses, but may also be due in part to the slightly different initial residual stress states. The tendency for the GPS model to smooth

, or average the stresses is also apparent.

The differences between the one-dimensional results and the GPS results in Figure 19 are due entirely to the smoothing / averaging 4

ef fect of the GPS model. The same smoothing / averaging behavior would be expected to improve the localized behavior of the l:

axisymmetric model (i.e., the -12.5 kai value at 240 degrees l would become more compressive) if a three-dimensional model was to be employed. I 8

Figures 20 and 21 compare the through thickness stress results from the various types of analyses. It can be seen that these various analyses generally result in similar stress predictions over the inner half vall thickness at the 0 and 120 degree locations. However, at the 240 degree location there is a sizable spread in predicted stresses. It has been argued that

" the axisymmetric analysis produces a worst case result. On the other hand it can also be argued that the GPS analysis results are overly optimistic due to the inherent assumption of a large I axial length for the RHSI temperature band. Therefore, it is l reasonable to conclude that the actual stresses lie somewhere

, between the axisymmetric and GPS analysis predictions.

3.3 Wald 28-50 RHSI Analysis Figure 22 compares the outer surface thermocouple data from the RHSI of Weld 28-50 with the axisymmetric temperature distribution called A2. This A2 temperature profile is one that was used to represent the o degree azimuth data of Wald 28-108 (Figure 9c).

This temperature profile is seen to represent a lower bound temperature distribution for this RHSI application. Since an

  • axisymmetric analysis of this temperature distribution has already been made, no additional analysis is required. The residual stresses resulting from this temperature distribution are given in Figure 12. It can be seen from this figure that a highly compressive state of stress is predicted at the inner surface of the pipe.

4.0 C011CLUSIOllS It has been shown through analytical and experimental results that the RHSI procedure creates significant compressive axial and hoop residual stresses over a significant portion of the inner pipe surface.

It has further been shown that when the design temperature gradient and temperature band size are achieved, the results are not significantly affected by initial residual stresses.

Finally, it has been shown that the procedure is reasonably tolerant of deviations from the optimal design temperature distribution if the deviations are of a local nature.

Final Letter Report on Effectiveness Of Resistance Heating Stress I=provement (RMSI) As A Residual Stress L

Remedy For Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe Welds At J. A. Fitzpatrick l

Dear Dave:

This final letter report and the attached experimental measurement and analyses reports present the results of the recent NYPA, Structural Integrity Associates (SI) and Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) joint program designed to qualify the Resistance Heating Stress Improvement Process (RHSI) as a l residual stress remedy for austenitic stainless steel pipes used 1 in boiling water reactors (BWRs) and to demonstrate the RHSI j

,. effectiveness on actual plant pipe welds. The approach used for l n the efficacy demonstration was to collect temperature data on the l pipes while resistance heating coils were used to heat the pipe i exterior, much as Induction Heating coils have been used to heat l treat other stainless steel joints for residual stress ,

_ improvement. The demonstration of RMSI effectiveness is, by )

analogy to IHSI, the residual stress benefit resulting from the 1 hes: treatment. l l

An earlier phase of this program demonstrated "proof of principle" of the RHSI process, that is, the ability of RHSI to

[ produce compressive inside surface residual stresses in a large diameter austenitic stainless steel welded pipe (SIR-86-003, and SIR-86-035, and letter report AJG-84-053). This phase of the program presents data in addition to and supporting the earlier RMSI residual stress data and analyses. In this phase, however, the actual process parameters and the actual resistance heating coils which were subsequently used in the field heat treatments I at James A. Fitzpatrick were used in the 28-inch pipe laboratory test. This 28-inch diameter schedule 80 pipe was subsequently destructively examined for the post RHSI residual stress

June 12, 1987 AJG-87-047 distribution at Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), Attachment 1, and an elastic-plastic finite element analysis was performed modelling the temperature data and the RHSI parameters for the joint (Attachment 2). The finite element model results, validated by the laboratory pipe test residual' stress measurements, were then used to demonstrate the effective residual stress benefit resulting from the RHSI treatment on the L field welds. The following paragraphs of this report highlight the measurement and analysis results for the three 28-inch pipe welds. Detailed measurement and analyses data are presented in Attach =ents 1 and 2 to this report.

T

1. Laboratory Pipe Test Results q

J A 28-inch diameter schedule 80 welded pipe was heat treated at JAF using the process parameters and resistance heat treat =ent coils which were to be used subsequently on two actual plant pipe welds at JAF. Subsequent to the RHSI treatment, the pipe was sent to SWRI for destructive residual stress measurement and the

- temperature data and coil width information were sent to SI as

{ input to the finite element analysis. The destructive residual stress data illustrated that very compressive post RHSI residual stresses were introduced on the pipe inside surface at the three azimuths examined and remained compressive well into the pipe

[- thickness for the single azi=uth for which through thickness measurements were made (see Attachment 1 for details) . These

~

results compared quite favorably to those obtained on IHSI L treated pipes of the same diameter. Elastic plastic finite element analyses were performed on this weld using the RHSI parameters obtained from NYPA personnel. The results of the finite ele =ent analyses agreed very well with the residual stress h measurement results, thus validating the analysis for the in-plant pipe measurements (see Attachment 2 for details of analysis). It should be noted that this finite element analysis using the Welds II program has been used routinely to verify the efficacy of the IHSI treatment for welded stainless steel pipes.

( 2. In-Plant RHSI Pipe R>=M ts Two 28-inch diameter recirculation system pipe welds, welds f 28-108 and 28-50, were RHSI treated using the NYPA procedure and the RMSI coils which had been used in the laboratory pipe demonstration. The RHSI temperature data were supplied to SI by NYPA and elastic-plastic finite element analyses were performed I using the Welds II procram as validated by the SWRI laboratory pipe test results. The results of the analyses, presented in detail in Attachment 2, illustrate that the PRSI process was able I to create significant compressive axial and circumferential residual stresses over a significant portion of the inner pipe l STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ASSOCIATES INC

l surface. In addition, it was shown that the RHSI process is reasonably tolerant to deviations from the opti=al temperature distributions as long as the deviations are of a locil nature.

Finally, it is shown that the residual stresses produced in these pipes are expected to be compressive at the inside surface and I well through the wall thickness for both welds.

i If you have any questions regarding this report and the f attachments, or if you require further detail, please do not hesitate to call. As always, it is a pleasure having the I
