Trueflaw thermal fatigue data - use in FRESH
project (task 1 – thermal fatigue simulation)
Trueflaw manufactures cracks for NDE training and qualification using in-situ
thermal fatigue loading
Each produced crack can be viewed as a thermal fatigue test
Thousands of cracks produced, mostly nuclear cases
In FRESH, parametric models were built to simulate these tests using elastic-plastic
FE analyses
Aim of the work was to determine the strain amplitude data for each test and
combine the numerical and experimental results into a strain-life fatigue curve

Analysis procedure
• Abaqus general purpose FE code was utilised in the
computation
• Sequential thermal and mechanical analyses, small strains and
displacements assumed
• Temperature dependent material properties
• Mixed hardening material model of Abaqus including both
isotropic and kinematic hardening
• Anneal temperature of 1100-1400 °C

Comparison of computed and measured residual
stresses in a mock-up pipe
- TVO has manufactured mock-up plates and pipes
containing multiple butt-welds.
- In the DEMAPP MACY - project residual stresses have
been measured with multiple methods.
- Computational simulation of welding of the pipe was
performed 2 years ago, measurement results are available
now:

The properties of Eshete 1250, which is a fully austenitic chromium-nickel steel
having a rather similar chemical composition as AISI 304 steel, were utilised.
The reason for using the Eshete 1250 properties is the availability of material
properties for the isotropic/kinematic hardening material model of Abaqus.
For parent metal the
utilised stress-strain
properties are
considerable higher than
presented in [1].

Axial residual stresses as a function of depth in the roots of three pipe butt
welds before thermal cycling. Pipes W5 and W6 were exposed to pressure
testing. Weld W6-7 is measured with ring-core method from the depth of 1 to 6.5
mm. All other measurements are done by hole drilling method [1].

Conclusions
• The computed axial and hoop as-welded stresses are
tensile at the inside surface in the weld root area
• The computed hoop stresses are tensile through the wall at
the middle of the weld
• The computed axial stresses are tensile on the inner
surface and compressive on the outer surface at the middle
of the weld

Conclusions
• There is large variation in the measured stresses. Some
discrepancies exist, e.g. negative hoop stresses at the weld
root?
• Additional measurement points or even other methods, e.g.
iDHD would be useful/necessary?
• The computations could be re-run with lower stress-strain
curve for the parent material and maybe with a 180deg
model (at least). Optimal situation would be that the real
cyclic stress strain curves are measured

23
Conclusions
• In case of welding residual stresses there is
uncertainty in computations and measurements.
Both methods should be utilised to support each
other to get more reliable results.
