Effect of deformation on electrochemical heterogeneity of pipeline welded joints

Abstract
Electrode potentials have been measured in various zones of a circumferential welded joint on low-carbon steel pipes at different levels of loading using internal pressure. It is shown that plastic deformation eliminates completely the difference of potentials between the parent metal and HAZ of the welded joint.
Keywords: welded joints, pipelines, internal pressure, deformation, electrochemical heterogeneity
