Investigation on Influence Factors of Mechanical Properties of Austenitic Stainless Steels for Cold Stretched Pressure Vessels Cold stretched pressure vessels from austenitic stainless steels (ASS) have been widely used all over the world for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquefied gases. Cold stretching (CS) is performed by pressurizing the finished vessels to a specific pressure to produce the required stress which in turn gives an amount of plastic deformation to withstand the pressure load. Nickel equivalent (Nieq) and preloading, which is introduced in welding procedure qualification for cold stretched pressure vessels, are considered to be important factors to mechanical behavior of ASS. During the qualification, welded joint will be preloaded considering the effect of CS on pressure vessels. After unloading, the preloaded welded joint will go through tensile test according to standard requirements. There are two kinds of preloading method. One is to apply required tensile stress rk on specimen and maintain it for a long time (stress-controlled preloading). The other is to stretch specimen to a specific strain of 9% (strain-controlled preloading). Different preloading and preloading rates may lead to differences in mechanical behavior of preloaded welded joint. In order to understand the effects of nickel equivalent, preloading and preloading rate on the mechanical behavior of ASS for cold stretched pressure vessels, a series of tests were conducted on base metal, welded joint, and preloaded welded joint of ASS EN1.4301 (equivalent to S30408 and AISI 304). As regards to the preloaded welded joint, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) decreased as the nickel equivalent increased, while the elongation to fracture increased. It was more difficult to meet the available mechanical requirements with strain-controlled preloading case than with stress-controlled preloading case. Rates of preloading had some effect on the mechanical properties of welded joint but nearly no effect on the mechanical properties of preloaded welded joint. These results are helpful for choosing appropriate material and determining a proper preloading method for welding procedure qualification.

Introduction
Cold stretched pressure vessels from ASS have been widely used all over the world for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquefied gases, and guidances have been implemented in several standards such as AS 1210 Supplement 2:1999 [1], EN 134582:2002 [2], EN 13530-2:2002 [3], and ASME Code Case 25962008 [4] (which is being implemented in the mandatory appendix of ASME BPVC VIII-I: 2011). Cold stretched pressure vessels are manufactured from finished vessels through CS, which is performed by pressurizing the finished vessels to a specific pressure to produce the required stress rk . After CS, an amount of plastic deformation is given to withstand the pressure load. Such vessels will get a higher proof strength, a lighter weight (about 50–70% of the conventional one with the same load carrying capacity), and thus a lower cost and energy consumption in manufacturing and transportation. Nieq is an important factor to ASS mechanical behavior for cold stretched pressure vessels. It could be used to describe the austenite stability, which has a strong effect on the deformation-induced martensite (DIM) transformation. Because of DIM’s main influence on the mechanical behavior, Nieq may indirectly affect ASS 1 Corresponding author.

mechanical properties. Preloading is another important factor. During welding procedure qualification for cold stretched pressure vessels, the finished welded plate will be preloaded and unloaded, leaving a permanent plastic deformation. Then the preloaded welded joint made from the plate will go through tensile test to obtain its mechanical properties, which will be evaluated by the standard requirements. Preloading makes the qualification different from the normal one. It introduces an effect similar to the CS effect on vessels into the qualification to help know whether this qualification is proper for cold stretched pressure vessels. Two kinds of preloading are employed now. One is to apply the required stress rk on the specimen and hold this stress until the strain rate gets lower than 0.1%/h [2–4]. The other is to stretch the specimen to a specific strain of 9% with a quasi-static strain rate [5]. These two preloading methods may lead to different results in mechanical properties of preloaded welded joint. In this paper, these preloading methods were noted as rk -stress-preloading and 9%-strain-preloading, respectively. Preloading rate is also considered to be an important parameter. The effects of strain rate on DIM and mechanical properties of some ASS grades were studied at strain rate between 104 and 103/s [6–8], and the rate was proved to influence the mechanical behavior to a certain extent. Little researches were reported about the effect of preloading rate on the mechanical properties of preloaded welded joint. In order to understand the effects of Nieq, preloading, and preloading rate on the mechanical behavior of ASS for cold stretched pressure vessels, a series of tests were performed with a commercial

ASS grade EN1.4301 (equivalent to S30408 and AISI 304). First, the chemical composition of ASS was measured to calculate Nieq. Second, preloading was done on the welded plate and preloaded welded joints were made. Third, tensile tests were carried out on base metal, welded joint, and preloaded welded joint. Furthermore, some DIM measurements were carried out. Based on these test results, analysis was done and some suggestions were put forward. These findings will be helpful for choosing the appropriate material and determining a proper preloading method in welding procedure qualification.

part A. Then, it goes up to B before which the rate is about 1 104/s. The stress of B is rk (405 MPa), and this stress is held for 1–2 h until C, while the strain rate keeps decreasing slowly. For 9%-strain-preloading case, the curve goes directly to D with the strain rate of about 1 103/s. The yielding is also located in part A. The ending D of 9%-strain-preloading has a higher stress and strain than the ending C of 405 MPa-stress-preloading. After being unloaded, the specimens of both preloading case were reloaded in the subsequent tensile test (STT) to the failure with a strain rate of about 1 103/s. A test number summary for Nieq investigation is listed in Table 2, and the total data numbers are 12, 5, 13 for base metal, 405 MPa-stress-preloading welded specimen and 9%-strainpreloading welded specimen, respectively. After the comparison between the two preloading methods, further tests focused on the effect of preloading rate were done through 9%-strain-preloading. Strain rates of 1 105 and 1 103/s were employed during this preloading, while strain rate of 2.5 103/s was used in all the STT processes corresponding to the typical rate in tensile tests of engineering application. The tests with 103/s in preloading and 2.5 103/s in STT were marked as type A, and those with 10 5/s in preloading and 2.5 103/s in STT were recognized as type B. Each type of tests had two specimens. All the tests were performed in air by using a servo hydraulic MTS 810 tensile testing machine. Specimens with rectangular cross section were used in the tests for investigating the effect of Nieq, and specimens with a 5-mm-diameter and a gauge length of 25 mm were used in the study for the influence of preloading and its rate. All specimens were made according to GB/T 228 [10] (equivalent to ISO 6892) and cut parallel to the rolling direction of the plates. Strain data were measured with an MTS 634.12 F-25 extensometer.
Test Procedure
2.1 Test Material, Chemical Composition, and Nickel Equivalent. This investigation was carried out on industrially manufactured ASS grade EN 1.4301 in as-received condition. These material plates were available with the thicknesses from 6 mm to 20 mm, and in a hot-rolled and solution heat-treated condition. The chemical composition is listed in Table 1, as well as Nieq, which was calculated by the following equation with the consideration of chemical composition, temperature and deformation [9]: Nieq ð%Þ ¼ Ni þ 0:65Cr þ 0:98Mo þ 1:05Mn þ 0:35Si þ 12:6C þ 0:03ðT 300Þ 2:3log½100=ð100 RÞ 2:9 (1) where T is the temperature (K) and R is the deformation (%). Room temperature was considered. The effect of the deformation R caused by preloading is calculated to be 0.09 (the value of 2.3log[100/ (100 R)]), which is less than 1% of the value of Nieq. Thus the Nieq values of solution annealed (SA) and CS materials are nearly the same, and the effect of deformation is ignored for convenience. 2.2 Preloading and Tensile Test. Preloading was performed on welded plates using quasi-static strain rates. Both 405 MPastress-preloading (the stress rk was selected to be 405 MPa according to Ref. [4]) and 9%-strain-preloading were involved. The schematic diagram of the stress–strain curves of these preloading methods are shown in Fig. 1. For the 405 MPa-stress-preloading case, the curve starts from O, and goes elastically until yielding Table 2

(model FMP30, Helmut Fischer GmbHþCo.), which is normally used to measure d-ferrite content in austenitic and duplex steels and to determine the fraction of DIM in austenitic materials. It was found that ferritescope measurement was an efficient way to measure the content of the ferromagnetic a0 -martensite phase. The measurement should be performed on an electropolished surface of specimen where the effect of cold work introduced by machining was eliminated and it should also be performed where the distribution of magnetic content was uniform. The measuring results will be converted to actual martensite contents with a calibration curve [11].

Influence of Nieq on Mechanical Properties
3.1 Requirements of Mechanical Properties. The effect of Nieq on the mechanical properties of ASS and preloaded ASS are shown from Figs. 2–4, while the mechanical properties included yield strength (YS), UTS and elongation to fracture (A, which is always used to describe the elongation to fracture in the relevant standard [10]). Requirements for EN 1.4301 mechanical properties in relevant standards [2–5,12–14] are also shown in these figures as well as Table 3 to help reveal the effects of Nieq. It is clear in Table 3 that YS increased to about 405 MPa from about 205 MPa after preloading, and A decreased to 25% from about 40%. The UTS for preloaded ASS was not specified, while 520–720 MPa was employed in the Chinese company standard of Zhangjiagang CIMC Sanctum Cryogenic Equipment Co., Ltd [5].

The effect of Nieq on A
3.2 Influence of Nieq. It was clear in Fig. 2 that preloading increased YS obviously. The 9%-strain-preloading gave a higher value of YS than that of 405 MPa-stress-preloading. Both preloaded ASS met the yield strength requirement of 405 MPa. As Nieq increased, YS of 9%-strain-preloading ASS decreased, while the curves of both base metal and 405 MPa-stress-preloading ASS varied slightly. The YS data of 405 MPa-stress-preloading were relatively well behaved, the reason of which is that the specimens of 405 MPa preload case were all preloaded to 405 MPa and held under the stress for about 1–2 h. The UTS variation as a function of Nieq was showed in Fig. 3. The curves of base metal and 9%-strain-preloading ASS decreased with increasing Nieq. They decreased to the UTS upper limit of 720 MPa at about 18.45%, and then continued decreasing. Furthermore, the curve of preloaded ASS was higher below the line of 720 MPa. The lower limit of 520 MPa seemed not to be reached. The 405 MPa-stress-preloading curve showed a slightly decreasing trend and varied gradually. All the curves of A in Fig. 4 increased with increasing Nieq. The values of preloaded ASS were obviously lower than that of base metal, while the curve of 405 MPa-stress-preloading was a little higher than that of 9%-strain-preloading. Additionally, the A of 9%-strain-preloading curve increased to 25% as was required at about 19.15% of Nieq, and then continued growing.

Influence of Preloading on Mechanical Behavior
4.1 Different Preloading. The 405 MPa-stress-preloading is determined from the strengthening stress rk in the relevant standard [2,3] and used in USA. The 9%-strain-preloading is always used in China [5]. Tests with these two preloading methods were carried out and results were showed above. Main differences between these methods are described here. (1) It is more difficult to meet the available mechanical behavior requirements with the 9%-strain-preloading case than with 405 MPa-stress-preloading case. Therefore, when the former case meets the requirements, the latter one can make it too. However, the former one is not sure to meet the requirements even when the latter does. (2) Time spent on the 405 MPa-stress-preloading is about 1–2 h, which is much longer than that of 9%-strainpreloading (about several minutes). Therefore, using 9%strain-preloading could save much time for engineering applications.

Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology
It is concluded that the 9%-strain-preloading is more strict than 405 MPa-stress-preloading about the requirements of mechanical properties, and could spare much more time in preloading. DECEMBER 2012, Vol. 134 / 061407-3

similar phenomenon has been experimentally observed by others [7]. To considering the data scatter influence, another group test was conducted with the same specimen size and test parameters. The comparison in Fig. 5(b) showed that the true stress–strain curves were almost the same with the same rate parameters. Furthermore, some formula was established with the strain rate as a parameter for face centered cubic material [15] to model the stress–strain relationship, which means a specific strain rate could lead to only one stress–strain relationship. Thus, the difference was considered to be caused mainly by the strain rate difference. When loaded in STT, the curves at the same rate 2.5 103/s did not follow their former trends, which may be caused by the difference between strain rates of preloading and STT. However, they looked like each other in STT, and seemed not to be affected by the difference between preloading rates, which could also be found from the data in Table 4. In addition, the time spent on the preloading of type A was much shorter.

The shapes of preloading curves showed parabolic behavior at both the strain rates of 103/s and 105/s, while in STT the curves between YS point and UTS point were almost linear. YS increased with the increasing strain rate in preloading, and the strength at 103/s was about 30–50 MPa higher than that at 105/s. Some 061407-4 / Vol. 134, DECEMBER 2012
4.2.2 DIM Transformation. DIM mass fraction in preloading and STT was depicted in Fig. 6(a), and its distribution along the gauge after fracture was showed in Fig. 6(b). The DIM of types A and B showed the same trend. It was observed that the DIM of type A was a little higher than that of type B during preloading. The DIM of both types began to grow fast after about 9.0% strain and became to be linear after about 12.5% strain. The difference in preloading rates seemed to have a little effect on preloading and nearly no effect on the STT. The final DIM distributions along the specimens’ gauge length after fracture were also nearly the same between types A and B. The contents of DIM increased when the distance from the fracture location decreased. 4.2.3 Work-Hardening Rate. The interaction between the work-hardening rate (dr/de) and true strain was illustrated in Fig. 7. During preloading, both work-hardening rates decreased rapidly, which may be mainly due to the appearance of e phase [16]. Meanwhile, there were only a little DIM content showed in Fig. 6(a). When it was loaded in STT, DIM became to grow fast in Fig. 6(b), while the work-hardening rate became to increase. It is generally accepted that a0 -martensite has a strong effect on work-hardening of ASS, and during the STT the transformation was considered to follow the routes of c!a0 or c ! e ! a0 [17]. After 25% strain, the work-hardening rate began to fall gradually, which was also found in metastable ASS grade EN 1.4318 [7]. The reason might be the slight effect of a little adiabatic heating, which could strongly prevent the DIM transformation. On the other hand, the rapid decrease of dr/de during preloading could Transactions of the ASME

between preloading rates. However, a slight difference between work-hardening rates occurred at the beginning of yielding (when the value of work-hardening rate was high) could still make a big effect on the strength.

4.2.4 Flow Stress. Figure 8 showed the dependence of the flow stress on the square root of a0 -martensite fraction of types A and B. The flow stress is defined as the true stress after yielding, and it began from about 300 MPa and 500 MPa during preloading and STT, respectively. It was found that the flow stress of both type A and B seemed to have a linear relation with the square root of the a0 -martansite fraction during STT and some part of preloading, and similar phenomenon was found in tensile tests by Fang and Dahl [18] and Juho [7] in tensile tests. When in preloading, the flow stress decreased as the square root of the a0 -martansite fraction decreased and finally behaved vertically, which could be explained by the little variation of DIM content closed to zero during preloading from Fig. 6(a). It is accepted that the flow stress of the material is linearly proportional to the square root of the dislocation density, and it has been explained that the DIM transformation causes the accumulation of dislocations in the austenite phase, thus indirectly increase the flow stress. Therefore, it has been suggested that the linearity is not necessary to indicate the relationship between flow stress and DIM content, it is only an indirect effect of DIM on the flow stress through the dislocation density. These curves of type A and B showed that different preloading rates may affect the curves of preloading a little but had no effect on STT curves. In addition, the data scatter was considered to have slight effect.

Conclusions
Based on the results above, the effects were summarized of these influence factors on the mechanical behavior of ASS for cold stretched pressure vessels.
Fig. 7 The correlation between work-hardening rate dr/de and true strain in preloading and STT
also be explained by the stress–strain behavior. In elastic loading, the change of strain was small for large changes of stress, which led to an initial high dr/de. The dr/de decreased rapidly when the material was yielding, and leveled off since the stress–strain response was relatively linear during plasticity. This figure indicated that work-hardening rate was not affected by the difference Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology
(1) Increasing Nieq lowered the YS of 9%-strain-preloaded ASS while it increased that of base metal. A weak effect caused by varying Nieq was found on the YS of 405 MPa-stress-preloaded ASS. All the YS of preloaded ASS were higher than 405 MPa, which is the minimum requirement of the YS. Increasing Nieq also lowered the UTS of base metal and 9%strain-preloaded ASS. These UTS would be higher than 720 MPa when Nieq was lower than about 18.45%. As UTS is limited to 520–720 MPa, it was better for Nieq to be higher than 18.45%. There was also a small variation on the UTS of 405 MPa-stress-preloaded ASS due to the changing Nieq. Higher Nieq caused higher value of A. For preloaded ASS, DECEMBER 2012, Vol. 134 / 061407-5

the lowest value of 25% was required. Results showed that the A of 9%-strain-preloaded ASS became higher than 25% when Nieq was higher than 19.15%. (2) In the welding procedure qualification for cold stretched pressure vessels, 9%-strain-preloading is stricter than 405 MPa-stress-preloading about the requirements of mechanical properties. When the mechanical properties results of 9%-strain-preloaded ASS meet the requirements, those of 405 MPa-stress-preloaded ASS could meet too. However, the opposite condition might not be true. In addition, 9%-strain-preloading could save much more time for engineering applications than 405 MPa-stress-preloading. (3) The rate of 9%-strain-preloading had an effect on the mechanical behavior of ASS in preloading. Higher rate increased the strength of true stress–strain curve and led to a little higher DIM. The results of two preloading rates (103/s and 105/s) slightly differed on the work-hardening rate and the relationship between flow stress and square root of a0 -martansite fraction. However, with different rates in preloading and the same rate of 2.5 103/s in STT, effect was hardly found on STT mechanical behavior of preloaded ASS.
