Abstract

In the study of the mechanical behavior of naturally corroded steel, observations of the initiation-development-fracture process of stress concentration in rust pits are still limited. In particular, it is difficult to study the influence of corrosion on the high-temperature mechanical behavior of steel. In this study, the high-temperature tensile failure process of naturally corroded steel was reproduced using ABAQUS finite element analysis software by accurately scanning the morphology of the corroded steel surface and using numerical reconstruction technology. By using CREO (PRO/E) image-processing software to format the digital data STP of complex morphology, it is possible to realize the numerical reconstruction of corrosion morphology and maintain sufficient analysis accuracy. When a reasonable model grid size and fracture constitutive model are selected, the real test results can be restored to analyze and discuss the stress evolution induced by corrosion.
