Buckling Failure Mechanism of Liner Pipe in Bimetal Mechanical Clad Pipes
摘要
Bimetal mechanical clad pipes, crucial in combating corrosion in oil, gas, and marine applications, consist of a durable outer pipe made of low alloy or carbon steel, and a corrosion-resistant inner liner of alloy or stainless steel (Alaswad in Computer aided design and optimization of bi-layered tube hydroforming process. Dissertation. Dublin City University, 2013 [1]). The unique construction, enhanced by mechanical or metallurgical bonding techniques, offers superior performance compared to single-material pipes, though it presents specific mechanical challenges, particularly concerning the liner pipe, crucial for the clad pipe's safety. Buckling failure in the liner pipe, attributed to various stresses and material interactions, poses a significant threat, potentially leading to leaks, ruptures, and severe economic and environmental consequences (Vasilikis and Karamanos in Int J Solids Struct 49(23–24), 3432–3446, 2012 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2012.07.023 [2]). This chapter aims to explore the buckling failure mechanism in the liner pipe of bimetal mechanical clad pipes, examining contributing factors and impacts on pipe integrity to improve the reliability of these essential components in the oil and gas industry.
