Grade E550 Heavy Steel Plate by TMCP for Offshore Energy Exploration

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces the study and production on steel plate of Grade E550 in60mm thick by Thermo-mechanical processing (TMCP) and tempering for offshoreinfrastructure purpose. The steel plate obtained high strength and goodtoughness in both the base materials and the weld joints. Microstructure and precipitation characteristicswere examined in the plate is comprised of bainite with a small amount ofpre-eutectoid ferrite. Parallel arranged lath bainite characterizes thebainitic structure with high density of dislocations and precipitates. Carbides MxCy averaging 200nm indimension and MC type Carbonitrides in several nano to a dozen nano carbidesdistribute in the bainite ferrite and the bainte lath interfaces. Compatiblemechanical properties were achieved at welded joint. Microstructures were analysed in the welding heataffected zone (HAZ).
