Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Joints of X100 Line Pipe by Submerged Arc Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure, mechanical properties, fracture morphology and crystal texture of pipeline steel X100 welded joints were investigated using optical electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, tensile and impact testing machine. The results show that, the texture of X100 line pipe mainly consists of acicular ferrite and granular bainite in weld zones, the microstructure of HAZ is coarser, which lead to softening and embrittlement. The fusion line is clear between outer weld and inner weld. The tensile strength of welded joint gets to 803 MPa, which is about 94.81% of the base materials. The impact energy at -10°C is more than 120J, and the average of percent shear fracture appearance at -10°C is up to 85%, is ductile fractures.
