Process, Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of X90 Pipeline Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper provided a detailed description of X90 pipeline steel developed in Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation (WISCO), including its metallurgical design, manufacturing process, structural characteristics and mechanical properties. Some key issues such as the cooling rate and rolling parameters were addressed for the development of X90 pipeline steel. The experimental results showed that the manufacturing process of controlled rolling (for austenite refining) + relaxation (for ferrite phase transformation) +ultrafast accelerated cooling could guarantee very fine microstructure and excellent mechanical properties. The X90 pipeline steel developed in WISCO has a good match of high strength and excellent toughness. Mechanical properties of X90 coils, plates and corresponding SSAW and LSAW pipes comprehensively meet the technical requirements of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).
