Study on Mechanical Properties Anisotropy of X80 Pipeline Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure of X80 pipeline steel in different directions were observed by SEM technique and its effective grain size and misorientation were statistically analyzed by EBSD system. Based on these results, the mechanical properties at 0°, 45° and 90° to the rolling direction of X80 pipeline steel were studied. The results show that, owing to finer grain size and less low-angle grain boundaries, strengths and impact toughness of X80 pipeline steel at 90° direction are optimal. While the pipeline steel possesses finer grain size, more high-angle grain boundaries and less low-angle grain boundaries, the crack propagation is effectively suppressed, then its impact toughness is improved.
