[Abstract]

A low ratio yield strength to ultimate tensile strength (YS/UTS) is necessary for the safety of pipelines and this means a higher resistance to strain hardening during deformation is required. Thinner walled (about 6 mm thickness) line pipe steels for smaller diameter pipelines tend to have a relatively high ratio of YS/UTS of 0.93 or higher. This study focused on the effect of the microstructures, prior deformation in the austenite, cooling rate, coiling simulation and the additions of some micro-alloying elements V-Nb-Ti on the precipitates and YS/UTS ratio of line pipe steels. These researches included the experimental alloys smelt, simulation of the controlled hot rolling process, the determination of the strain-free as well as the strain affected continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams, phase and precipitates identification and quantitative assessment of the microstructures by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

 

The transformed microstructures of the alloys were a mixture of acicular ferrite, pearlite plus polygonal ferrite and the volume fraction of acicular ferrite varied from 46.3% to 55.4%. The interface between acicular ferrite and polygonal ferrite was clearly revealed. The non-recrystallisation temperature (Tnr) was also determined through compression testing in order to design the controlled hot rolling process for the experimental alloys. Acicular ferrite in the present study, was typically of two types. The more typical acicular ferrite structure consisted of parallel laths, while the alternative type consisted of interwoven laths. A high density of dislocations was observed inside the laths, with no cementite inside or between these laths. It was determined that the YS/UTS ratio was a function of the microstructure, prior deformation in austenite, but not sensitive to cooling rate. The precipitate was affected by coiling temperature, finishing rolling temperature.
