Amasistimu amapayipi asogwini olwandle abhekana nezimo zokusebenza ezinzima kakhulu ezingacatshangwa, nomoya ogcwele usawoti, umswakama oqhubekayo, ukushintshashintsha kwamagagasi, kanye nokuchayeka kwe-chloride enolaka okusongela ubuqotho bazo zonke izindawo zokuxhuma. I-coupling engenamsebenzi, ehlanganisa izingcezu zamapayipi ndawonye, iba yindawo ebalulekile yokwehluleka lapho amanzi olwandle agqwala ehlasela ubuso bayo, okuholela ekuvuzeni, isikhathi sokuma esingahleliwe, nokulungiswa okubizayo okungamisa imisebenzi yonke. Onjiniyela nochwepheshe bokuthenga ngakho-ke kumele bacabangele ngokucophelela izinketho zezinto zokwakha, belinganisa izici ezifana nokumelana nokugqwala, amandla emishini, isisindo, ukusebenza kokushisa, kanye nezindleko zobunikazi eziphelele ngaphambi kokuzibophezela kucaciso. Izinto ezimbili ziyabusa kule ngxoxo kubunjiniyela besimanje basolwandle: i-6061 aluminum alloy eye yathintwa kanzima (hard anodized) ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuqina kwayo kwangaphezulu, kanye ne-316 stainless steel, okukade kuthathwa njengezinga lokulinganisela ezindaweni ezigcwele i-chloride. Ngayinye inikeza isethi ehlukile yezakhiwo eziyenza ifanele izinhlelo ezithile zokusebenza, kodwa akukho neyodwa eyisixazululo esisebenza kuyo yonke indawo yamapayipi asogwini. Ukuqonda umehluko onzima phakathi kwalezi zinto ezimbili zobunjiniyela kubalulekile ukuze kuthathwe izinqumo ezinolwazi ezithuthukisa ukusebenza, ukuphepha, kanye nesabelomali kumaphrojekthi engqalasizinda yasolwandle.

Ukukhetha phakathi kwe-6061 i-aluminium enzima enziwe nge-hard anodized kanye ne-316 insimbi engagqwali emapayipini asolwandle akubona nje udaba olula lwezinto zokwakha; kuyisinqumo sobunjiniyela esingamasu esinomthelela omkhulu ekuhlelweni kokufakwa, ezimisweni zokunakekela, kanye nokwethembeka kwesistimu esikhathini eside. Izindawo zasolwandle zisheshisa ukucekelwa phansi kwezinto ngokuhlanganisa ukugqwala kwe-electrochemical, ukunqwabelana kwezinto eziphilayo, ukuguguleka ngenxa yezinsalela ezintantayo, kanye nengcindezi evela ekunyakazeni kwamagagasi nokushintshashintsha kokushisa, konke lokhu kudinga ama-coupling angamelana nokuhlaselwa okuqhubekayo. Ama-aluminium alloys anikeza ukonga okumangalisayo kwesisindo kanye nokumelana nokugqwala kwemvelo uma evikelwe kahle, kuyilapho izinsimbi ezingagqwali zihlinzeka ngokuqina okufakazelwe nokumelana nokugqwala kwendawo okunjengokugqwala kwamachashaza nokugqwala emifantwini. Lesi sihloko sinikeza ukuqhathanisa okuphelele kobuchwepheshe phakathi kwalezi zinketho ezimbili, sihlola izakhiwo zemishini, ukuziphatha kokugqwala, ubulukhuni, izici zokushisa, imithelela yezindleko, kanye nokucatshangelwa kokusetshenziswa okungokoqobo. Ekugcineni, onjiniyela, abaphathi bamaphrojekthi, kanye nochwepheshe bokuthenga bazoba nokucaca okudingekayo ukuze bakhethe into efanele kakhulu yama-coupling ezidingo zabo ezithile zamapayipi asogwini lwasolwandle, besekelwa idatha nobungcweti bomkhakha okuvela ku-Varicpand International, umkhiqizi ohamba phambili wezixazululo zama-coupling asebenza kahle kakhulu.

Lapho amaqembu obunjiniyela ehlola izinto ezingaba khona zama-coupling asemanzini, athembela kudatha eningi eqinile ekhombisa ukusebenza ngaphansi kwengcindezi yangempela kanye nokuchayeka kokugqwala. Ithebula elingezansi lifingqa izici ezibalulekile zomshini nezomzimba ze-6061 aluminium e-hard anodized kanye ne-316 stainless steel, linikeza isisekelo sokuqhathanisa eceleni kokuhlola kokuqala kanye nezibalo ezinemininingwane zokuklama.

Ezinsimini ezisogwini, ukumelana nokugqwala kuvame ukuba yisici esinqumayo esinquma ukuthi i-coupling iphila yini impilo yayo yokusebenza ehleliwe noma ivele ibolile ibe yinkinga yokulungisa. I-aluminium alloy engu-6061 inomumelwano wokugqwala wemvelo ngenxa yokwakheka kwe-oxide film yemvelo, kodwa inqubo ye-hard anodizing ithuthukisa kakhulu lesi sakhiwo ngokukhulisa ungqimba olujiyile, oluminyene lwe-anodic olungaba ngama-microns angu-25 kuya kwangu-50 ubukhulu ebusweni be-coupling. Lolu ngqimba lwe-oxide olwakhiwe ngobunjiniyela lusebenza njengesivimbelo esiqinile ekungeneni komswakama nasekungeneleleni kwe-chloride ion, kunweba kakhulu ukumelana kwengxenye nokugqwala kwamanzi anosawoti kuyilapho futhi kunikeza ukuvikelwa okuhle kwe-dielectric ekuhlanganisweni kwe-galvanic nezinsimbi ezihlukile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-316 stainless steel ithola idumela layo lasolwandle ngokungezwa kwe-molybdenum, ethuthukisa kakhulu ukumelana nokugqwala kwama-pitting nokugqwala kwama-crevice uma iqhathaniswa nohlobo lwayo lwe-304, okwenza ifaneleke kakhulu ekucwilisweni okuqhubekayo emanzini olwandle nasezindaweni ezinamanzinyo. Kodwa-ke, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi i-316 stainless steel ayigqwali ngokuphelele; ingahlaselwa ukugqwala okubangelwa ukucindezeleka (stress corrosion cracking) ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile zokucindezeleka okukhulu, izinga lokushisa eliphezulu, nokuchayeka okugxilile ku-chloride, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni eziyimingcwazi nangaphansi kokunye okufakiwe. Ubuso be-aluminium obunwe ngokwe-anodized, ngakolunye uhlangothi, buhlala buzinzile futhi bungasebenzi ngokubikezelwa ezindaweni ezine-chloride, nakuba bungalimala ngokushaywa noma ukugqekezwa okugqekeza ungqimba oluqinile, kuveze insimbi ethambile engaphansi. Zombili lezi zinto zibonisa ukusebenza okunamandla kokumelana nokugqwala, kodwa izindlela zokwenza zihlukile, futhi ukukhetha kuvame ukuncika endaweni yamakhemikhali ethile, izinga lokushisa, nemithwalo yemishini ekhona ohlelweni lwamapayipi.

Ukuqina nokumelana nokugqokwa kuthonya ngokuqondile indlela i-coupling esebenza ngayo ngezikhathi eziphindaphindiwe zokuxhuma nokunqamula, kanye nekhono layo lokumelana nokugqokwa okubangelwa isihlabathi, udaka, nemfucumfucu emiswe emanzini asogwini. Ungqimba oluqinile lwe-anodized ku-6061 aluminium lukhiqiza amazinga okuqina komhlaba phakathi kuka-60 no-70 esikalini sika-Rockwell C, okuqhathaniseka nezinsimbi eziningi eziqinisiwe zamathuluzi futhi lunikeza ukumelana okuhle kakhulu nokuklwebheka, ukugqwala, nokugqokwa okuhlikihlayo emsebenzini wasolwandle odingekayo. Lobu qina bomhlaba lusiza kakhulu kuma-camlock couplings nakwezinye izinto zokuxhuma ezisheshayo, lapho izindawo zokuvala nama-bayonet lugs enza ukushelela njalo nokusunduza okungena ngemishini. Okwamanje, i-316 stainless steel inikeza ukuqina kwe-Brinell okungaba ngu-217, okuphakathi nendawo kodwa okungaguquki kuyo yonke ingxenye yezinto, okusho ukuthi noma ngabe umhlaba uklwebheka noma ulinyazwa, into engaphansi igcina izakhiwo zayo ezifanayo zomshini nokumelana nokugqwala. Ukumelana nokugqokwa kwe-aluminium e-anodized kugxile kungqimbeni oluncane olufana ne-ceramic, kuyilapho i-stainless steel inikeza ukuqina okufanayo kusukela phezulu kuya phakathi, umehluko obalulekile lapho ama-couplings ethola imithwalo yokushaywa noma enziwa ngobudlova ensimini. Ezinhlelweni ezihilela amasistimu okucindezela okuphezulu akhiqiza ama-hoop stresses nama-axial loads amakhulu, amandla aphezulu okudonsa e-316 stainless steel ku-515 MPa anikeza umkhawulo wokuphepha omkhulu, kuyilapho i-6061 hard anodized aluminium ku-310 MPa isanikeza amandla anele emisebenzini eminingi yamapayipi asolwandle aphakathi nendawo ngenkathi konga ingxenye yesibili kwezintathu yesisindo.

Isizathu esiqinile kakhulu sokucacisa i-aluminium ye-6061 enziwe nge-hard anodized ezinhlelweni zamapayipi asolwandle amandla ayo ayingqayizivele wokuqhathanisa isisindo nokuqina, okuhumushela ngqo ekongeni okukhulu kwezokuthutha nokusebenza kuyo yonke impilo yephrojekthi. Ngenxa yokuthi i-aluminium inesisindo esinciphile cishe ngamaphesenti angu-66 kunesimbi, uhlelo lwamapayipi olwakhiwe ngezixhumanisi ze-aluminium lwehlisa isisindo esiphelele esimisiwe ezakhiweni zokusekela, ama-flange, kanye nemizimba yemikhumbi, kuvumela imiklamo yobunjiniyela elula futhi kwehlise izindleko zokwakha ezinkundleni zasolwandle nasezindaweni ezisogwini. Abasebenzi bokufaka bangaphatha izixhumanisi ze-aluminium ngezandla ngaphandle kwemishini esindayo yokuphakamisa, kwehlisa izidingo zabasebenzi futhi kusheshise isikhathi sokuhlanganisa endaweni, okubaluleke kakhulu ezindaweni ezikude zasogwini lapho ukufinyelela kwe-crane kulinganiselwe noma kubiza. Ukumbozwa kwe-hard anodized kunikeza ukuvikelwa okuphindwe kabili ngokuhlanganisa ukumelana nokugqwala okuhle kanye nokuqina kwendawo okumelana nomthelela wokuguguleka wamanzi olwandle anesihlabathi, okwenza lezi zixhumanisi zilungele izindawo ezinzima zasogwini lapho ukufinyelela kokulungisa kunzima futhi kubiza. Ngokombono wesabelomali, izindleko zempahla eluhlaza ye-aluminium ziphansi kakhulu kunezinsimbi ezingenasici ezine-nickel, futhi isisindo esilula sinciphisa izindleko zokuthutha nezokuhambisa, okwenza i-hard anodized aluminium ibe ukukhetha okongayo emaphrojekthini amakhulu adinga amakhulu noma izinkulungwane zezixhumanisi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, indawo ebushelelezi futhi eminyene ye-anodized inciphisa ukunamathela kwe-biofouling uma iqhathaniswa nezindawo zensimbi ezinamagquma, kwehlisa ukunqwabelana kwezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle futhi kwenze lula izinqubo zokuhlanzwa nokuhlolwa ngezikhathi ezithile.

Ngaphezu kwezomnotho nje, ukuhambisana kwe-electrochemical kwe-aluminium eqinile ene-anodized nezingqalasizinda ezikhona zamapayipi kufanele kucatshangelwe ngokucophelela onjiniyela abaklama izinhlelo ezihlanganisiwe zasogwini.

Zokubili izinto zibonisa ukumelana nokugqwala okuhle kakhulu ezindaweni zasogwini zasolwandle, kodwa zikufeza lokhu ngezindlela ezahlukene. I-316 stainless steel inikeza ukumelana okuphezulu nokugqwala kwamagodi kanye nokugqwala kwemifantu ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwayo kwe-molybdenum, okwenza kube yizinga lokulinganisela lokucwiliswa okungapheli emanzini anosawoti kanye nokuchayeka kwe-chloride ephezulu. I-hard anodized 6061 aluminum inikeza ungqimba lwe-oxide oluminyene nolujulile olusebenza njengesivikelo esiqinile ekungeneni kwe-chloride, futhi inenzuzo yezakhiwo ze-dielectric ezinciphisa izingozi zokugqwala kwe-galvanic. Ezingxenyeni eziningi zasolwandle, i-316 stainless steel ibhekwa njengokumelana nokugqwala okuncane kakhulu kukonke, kodwa i-6061 hard anodized aluminum iletha ukusebenza okuhle kakhulu ngesisindo esincane kakhulu nezindleko eziphansi.

I-aluminium 6061 enziwe i-hard anodized, enamandla okudonsa angu-310 MPa kanye namandla okuvumela angu-276 MPa, inamandla ngokwanele ukusetshenziswa ezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zamapayipi asolwandle ezingcindezelo eziphakathi, okuhlanganisa nezinhlelo eziningi zokudlulisa nokusabalalisa ezitholakala ezakhiweni zasogwini. Nokho, ezinhlelweni ezingcindezelo eziphezulu kakhulu, kuma-risers amanzi ajulile, noma ezinhlelweni ezinomthwalo oguquguqukayo onzima, i-316 stainless steel enamandla okudonsa aphezulu angu-515 MPa inikeza izinga lokuphepha elikhulu futhi ngokuvamile iyona ekhethwayo. Onjiniyela kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi baqinisekise ukuthi impahla yokuxhuma ekhethiwe iyahlangabezana noma yeqe izidingo zokucindezela kanye nezidingo zesici sokuphepha zekhodi yamapayipi ethile kanye nezimo zokusebenza.

I-aluminium 6061 inokuminyana okungu-2.70 g/cm³, kuyilapho insimbi engagqwali i-316 inokuminyana okungaba ngu-8.00 g/cm³, okusho ukuthi i-aluminium ilula cishe ngamaphesenti angu-66 kune- steel uma kufaniswa ngesimo esifanayo. Ekufakweni okujwayelekile kokuxhuma kwe-marine okuhlanganisa izinto ezingamakhulu amaningi, lo mehluko wesisindo ungahumushela ekongeni okungamathani amaningi esewonke, kunciphisa imithwalo yokwakheka ezisekelweni nasemikhunjini, kwenze kube lula ukuphatha nokufaka, futhi kwehlise izindleko zokuthutha. Lezi zinzuzo zesisindo zibaluleke kakhulu ezinkundleni zasolwandle, ezinhlelweni zamapayipi emikhunjini, nasezinhlelweni zamapayipi aphathwayo lapho ikhilogremu ngalinye lithinta ukusebenza kahle kokuklama nokusebenza.

I-aluminium 6061 ene-hard anodized inezinga lokushisa eliphezulu lokusebenza elicishe libe ngu-300 degrees Celsius, ngaphezu kwalokho i-anodic coating kanye ne-base alloy kungase konakale, okuholela ekulahlekelweni kokuvikelwa kokugqwala kanye namandla emishini. Ngokuphambene, i-316 stainless steel ingakwazi ukumelana namazinga okushisa afinyelela cishe ku-870 degrees Celsius, okwenza ifanelekele imigqa yezinqubo ezisezingeni lokushisa eliphezulu, izinhlelo ze-steam, kanye nezinhlelo eziseduze nemithombo yokushisa. Onjiniyela kufanele futhi bacabangele imiphumela ye-thermal cycling kanye nama-coefficients okunwebeka okushisayo lapho besebenza emazingeni okushisa aphakeme, ngoba ukunwebeka okwehlukile kungathinta ukusebenza kokuvala kanye nokuqina kokuhlangana.

Ungqimba olunzima lwe-anodized ku-aluminium engu-6061 luwukugoqwa okufana ne-ceramic oxide olunzima kakhulu futhi olumelana nokugqokwa, ngokuvamile lulinganiswa ngo-60 kuya ku-70 HRC, futhi luhlanganiswa ngokuphelele nensimbi engaphansi ye-aluminium. Nakuba lolu kugoqwa lunamandla kakhulu futhi lumelana nokugqokwa okubangelwa isihlabathi nokuphathwa okuvamile, lungalimala ngemishayo ebukhali, imihuzuko ejulile, noma ukuhlukunyezwa kwemishini okugxile okungena ungqimba lwalolu kugoqwa. Uma selulimele, insimbi ye-aluminium evulekile ingaba sengozini yokugqwala, nakuba ungqimba lwe-anodic oluzungezile lunikeza ukuvikelwa okuthile kokuzinikela kwezinye izindawo. Ukuhlolwa njalo nokuphathwa ngokucophelela kungasiza ukulondoloza ubuqotho bengaphezulu eli-anodized, futhi ama-couplings alimele kufanele alungiswe noma ashintshwe ukuze kugcinwe ukumelana nokugqwala okuphelele.

Yebo, emaphrojekthini amakhulu, ama-coupling e-aluminium ane-hard anodized (6061) ngokuvamile anikeza izinzuzo ezinkulu zezindleko uma eqhathaniswa nama-coupling ensimbi engagqwali (316 stainless steel). Izindleko zempahla eluhlaza ye-aluminium ziphansi kakhulu kune-ensimbi engagqwali ene-molybdenum, futhi ukuba lula kwezingxenye ze-aluminium kwehlisa izindleko zokuthutha, zokuphatha, kanye nezabasebenzi bokufaka. Ukonga okuhlanganisiwe kungaba kukhulu kakhulu lapho kudingeka amakhulu noma izinkulungwane zama-coupling, okwenza i-hard anodized aluminium ibe yinketho ekhangayo emaphrojekthini abheka isabelomali angadingi amandla aphezulu kakhulu kanye nekhono lokumelana nokushisa kwensimbi engagqwali.

Ukuthintana okuqondile phakathi kwensimbi ye-316 stainless steel ne-aluminium olwandle kungadala i-galvanic couple, ngoba lezi zinsimbi ezimbili zinamandla kagesi ahluke kakhulu (electrochemical potentials), okuholela ekugugulekeni okusheshayo kwengxenye ye-aluminium esebenza kakhulu. Ukuvimbela lokhu, onjiniyela kufanele basebenzise ama-insulating gaskets, ama-dielectric washers, noma izinto zokugqoka ezingaqhubi ugesi (non-conductive coatings) lapho kuhlangana khona izinsimbi ezahlukene, noma bacabangele ukusebenzisa ama-aluminium couplings aqinile ane-anodized layer, ngoba lolu hlaka lwe-dielectric anodized layer ngokwemvelo lunqamula umjikelezo we-galvanic. Kubalulekile ukuklama lonke uhlelo lwamapayipi ngokucabangela ukuhambisana kwe-electrochemical ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukusebenza kahle kokuguguleka isikhathi eside nokuqina kwesakhiwo.

Izihlanganisi ze-aluminium eziqinile ze-6061 hard anodized zivame ukulula ukuzifaka ezindaweni ezikude zasogwini ngoba zilula ngamaphesenti angaba ngu-66 uma ziqhathaniswa nezinsimbi ezilinganayo ze-stainless steel, okuvumela ukuphathwa ngezandla nokunciphisa ukuthembela emishinini esindayo yokuphakamisa. Le nzuzo yesisindo isheshisa ukuhlanganiswa, yehlisa izindleko zabasebenzi, futhi inciphise ubungozi bokulimala ngesikhathi sokusebenza endaweni, okubaluleke kakhulu ezinkundleni zasolwandle, ezindaweni zokufika ogwini, nasezindaweni ezinokufinyeleleka okulinganiselwe. Izihlanganisi ze-stainless steel, nakuba zisinda futhi zidinga amalungiselelo okuphakamisa aqinile, zihlala ziyisinqumo esikhethwayo lapho amandla amakhulu nokuqina kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu yize kuba nzima ukufaka.

Yebo, i-Varicpand International igxile ekukhiqizeni ngokwezifiso futhi inikeza izixazululo zokuxhuma ezenziwe ngokwezidingo kukho kokubili i-aluminium ye-6061 enziwe nge-hard anodized kanye nensimbi engathathi kalula engu-316 ukuhlangabezana nezidingo ezithile zephrojekthi.
