Effect of Austenite Recrystallization on Toughness of Pipeline Steels

Abstract:

The factors affecting pipeline fractures are reviewed briefly, with particular emphasis on the influence of the {100} texture component. The deformation texture components introduced by rolling in the austenite temperature range are introduced, together with the component changes associated with recrystallization. The effect of the γ-to-α phase transformation on the austenite deformation and recrystallization texture components is described. The changes to the texture brought about by rolling in the ferrite (or in the intercritical) phase field are also outlined. The controlled rolling parameters that promote minimization of the texture intensity of the deleterious {100} component are summarized.
