Determination of the residual life of the pipe metal under conditions of corrosion fatigue

Abstract

This paper presents a method for calculating the residual metal life of pipelines with crack-like defects. The results of corrosion and fatigue tests of ordinary grade structural steel VSt3sp, widely used in the oil and gas industry, are presented. The work carried out studies on the effect of cathodic polarization on the cyclic crack resistance of VSt3sp steel under the influence of a carbonate-bicarbonate medium.
