Abstract

Steel pipelines externally exposed to seawater pit more severely in heat-affected weld zones but longer-term quantitative data are scarce. Maximum pit depths and variability are reported for the longitudinal weld in API X56 Spec 5 L grade steel pipeline samples exposed continuously to natural Pacific Ocean seawater for 3.5years. For the first year maximum pit depths and pit depth variability for the different weld zones were very similar. Both became much greater subsequently, with the greatest increases for the heat affected zone. This is compared with steel composition and grain size and potential reasons for the observations discussed.
