Abstract

In this study, tensile tests were performed on specimens that simulated the cold-bending and heat-treatment of pipe bends to understand the mechanical properties of pipe bends manufactured by cold-bending followed by heat-treatment for relieving residual stress. The strength and ductility of cold-worked materials were respectively found to be higher and lower than those of the parent material although heat-treatment was carried out to relieve residual stress. In addition, the increase in strength and decrease in ductility were proportional to the applied strain levels for cold-working. It was thus inferred that the intrados and extrados regions of pipe bends that were cold-bended and heat-treated show higher strength and lower ductility compared to the parent straight pipe and that the mechanical properties at the crown region are nearly the same as those of the parent straight pipe.

본 연구에서는 냉간 굽힘 후 잔류응력 제거 열처리된 곡관에서 기계적물성치를 파악하기 위해서, 냉간 굽힘과 잔류응력 제거 열처리를 모사한 모사시편을 이용하여 인장시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과로부터 냉간 가공 후 잔류응력 제거 열처리를 수행할지라도 재료의 강도는 냉간 가공 전에 비해 증가하고 연성은 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 강도 증가와 연성 감소는 냉간 가공시 적용된 변형률이 클수록 심화되었다. 따라서, 냉간 굽힘시 변형이 크게 발생하는 곡관의 외호부와 내호부는 직관에 비해 강도는 높고 연성은 낮을 것으로 예측되며, 곡관의 측면은 굽힘 가공 전의 직관과 유사한 기계적물성치를 보일 것으로 예측되었다.
