Effect of Nanometer Magnesium Oxide Addition on the Cast Microstructure of X80 Pipeline Steel

Abstract:

The pipeline steel as an application in pipeline construction must have good comprehensive mechanical properties due to the harsh environment of the pipeline engineering. So this experiment takes the X80 pipeline steel as the research object, the thermal stability second phase particles which would not be dissolved or aggregated at high temperature will be expected by means of adding nanomagnesium oxide into the steel with the method of carrier dispersion addition. The effect of nanometer magnesium oxide addition on the cast microstructure of X80 pipeline steel was analysed. The results show that the cast microstructure is consist of the ferrite and a small amount bainite. And the bainite is distributed at the boundary of the ferrite grains. When adding 0.02 wt% nanometer magnesium oxides, the number of bainite increases significantly in the cast microstructure, which is mostly distributed at the boundary of the ferrite grains.
