25、in. thick for use in welded construction of offshore structures, in selected critical portions which must resist impact, plastic fatigue loading, and lamellar tearing. These steels are intended for fabrication primarily by cold forming and welding as per API Spec 2B. The welding procedure is of fund
26、a-mental importance and it is presumed that procedures will be suitable for the steels and their intended service. Conversely, the steels should be amenable to fabrication and welding under shipyard and offshore conditions. API Specifications 2W and 2Y cover companion steels providing similar mechan
27、ical properties but with the advantage of potentially lower preheats, and the availability of API RP 2Z prequalification of HAZ toughness. This improvement results from a reduction in the maximum allowed chemical composition and is made possible by changes in the method of heat treatment and/or proc
28、essing.1.2 The primary use of these steels is in tubular joints, stiffened plate construction, and other intersections where portions of the plates will be subjected to tension in the thickness direction (Z-direction). Supplementary Requirement S4 provides for through-thickness (Z-direction) testing
29、 of the plates by the material manufacturer and specified limits for acceptance. Supplementary Requirement S1 provides for ultrasonic examination of the plates by the material manufacturer and specifies limits for accep-tance. For applications where through-thickness properties are desirable but the
30、 expense of extra testing is not considered neces-sary, Supplementary Requirement S5 provides a low-sulfur chemistry intended to reduce the size and number of sulfide inclusions in the plate. Supplementary requirement S5 is neither a substitute for S4 Through-Thickness Testing nor a guarantee of a m
31、inimum level of through-thickness ductility. Experience indicates, however, that tests of low-sulfur carbon-manganese steels would usually show at least 20% reduction-of-area in a Z-direction tension test. Even without S5, API Spec 2H provides a reduced sulfur level, compared to other common structu
32、ral steels. 1.3 The notch toughness requirements specified in Section 7 or S12 are suitable for application below water or above water in areas of temperate climate 14F (10C) minimum service temperature. Cold-formed materials have less toughness due to straining than that of the original flat plate,
33、 especially in those areas aged by the attachment welding of stubs or braces. The requirements for plates in Section 7 include a moderate adjustment for losses in toughness due to straining and aging; however, differences in composition or fabrication practices may result in significantly greater de
34、gradation than that included. Supplemen-tary Requirements S7 and S8 deal with the strain-aging problem, and consideration should be given to invoking S7 and/or S8 when the strain exceeds 5% or when (Nitrogen x % strain) exceeds 0.040. Supplementary Requirement S8 provides for testing at the specific
35、 temperatures and strain levels of interest and is recommended for all material purchases which exceed the purchasers experience base.For applications with lower service temperatures, lower test temperatures should be considered. Supplementary Requirement S2 provides for impact tests at temperatures
36、 other than those specified in Section 6 or S12. S2.1 provides for Drop Weight or Charpy V-notch testing at 76F (60C). S2.2 provides for such testing at temperatures less than 40F (40C) but other than 76F (60C).2 ReferencesThe standards referenced herein are as follows:APISpec 2B Fabrication of Stru
