Austenitization Behaviors of X80 Pipeline Steels With High Nb and Micro-Ti Treatment

 The austenitization behaviors of two high Nb-containing X80 pipeline steels with different Ti contents, including the dissolution of microalloying precipitates and the austenite grain growth behaviors, were investigated by using physical-chemical phase analysis method and optimal microstructure observation. The results illustrate that most Nb can be dissolved into austenite during the soaking at 1180℃, but very little amount of Ti can be dissolved. It is found that during soaking, the austenite grain growth rate is initially high, and then it decreases after 1h soaking; moreover, the austenite grains grow up more rapidly at temperatures above 1180℃ than at temperatures below 1180℃. It is shown that the steel with 0.016%Ti content has a larger austenite grain size than the steel with 0.012%Ti under the same soaking conditions, which has been explained by considering the particle size distribution.     

Analysis of Microstructure and Orientation in X80 Line Pipe Steels

Microstructures in X80 line pipe were classified by SEM analysis.The experimental results showed that the microstructures in X 80 line pipe steels were complicated consisting of polygonal ferrite,bainite and acicular ferrite.Orientation relation within acicular ferrite was investigated systematically by means of EBSD-OIM.The sub-structures were observed maximum in acicular ferrite which gives high strength and high toughness to line pipe steels.The K-S orientation relation was generally observed between acicular ferrite and austenite during phase transformation.The low energy CSL boundary characterized by Σ3 orientation relation according to Brandon criterion appeared with higher probability,which was benefit to improve the mechanical properties of line pipe steels.The orientations or texture of initial austenite grains could be deduced based on the Σ3 orientation relationship of acicular ferrite variants.     

Effect of Nb on Mechanical Properties of HAZ for High-Nb X80 Pipeline Steels

The mechanical properties of heat affected zone (HAZ) of two commercial high-Nb X80 grade pipeline steels with different alloy elements were investigated using thermal simulation performed on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator. The results showed that the high-Nb steels have excellent weldability. Embrittlement regions appear in coarse grain heat affected zone (CGHAZ) and intercritically heat affected zone (ICHAZ); Softening region appears in fine-grain heat affected zone (FGHAZ), and the strength here was even lower than 555 MPa as required in the standard. Meanwhile, with the increase of heat input, the strength and the toughness of HAZ of steel with high Nb, C and lower alloy decrease notably. Therefore, take into account the welding procedure during manufacture of weld pipe, suitable amount of alloy elements, such as Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo and so on, is necessary for high Nb X80 heavy-thick steel plate.

X65、X70管线钢高温延塑性的对比分析

 讨论了X65、X70管线钢铸坯不同温度区间高温延塑性的差异。根据Gleeble 1500热/力模拟机得到的数据绘出X65、X70钢铸坯断面收缩率-温度曲线,利用扫描电镜、金相显微镜对断口形貌及组织进行分析,得出两钢种在各温度区间塑性差别的主要原因：①高温脆性区(tl~1 300 ℃)X70塑性较好,碳含量越高,硫、磷在奥氏体晶界的偏析量越多;②高温高塑性区(1 100~1 300 ℃)X65延塑性较好,钛含量越高,使得TiN析出物越粗大,分布越随机;③在塑性槽高温端(900~1 100 ℃),低熔点硫化物等析出,动态再结晶发生温度不同,导致两个钢种塑性明显有差别;④在塑性槽两相区(700~900 ℃),先共析铁素体的出现是两个钢种塑性低的共同原因,钛可以促进铁素体在晶内和晶界同时生成,最后X65塑性恢复较好。

X70管线钢的断裂韧性

对不同厚度和裂纹初始长度的X70管线钢三点弯曲试样进行了不同试验温度下的断裂韧性试验。试验和分析结果表明：随着试验温度降低，试样的破坏方式由韧性破坏向脆性破坏转换不同厚度试样的破坏断口均产生分层裂纹，分层裂纹的大小和数量与试样厚度有关，分层裂纹的位置与试验温度和裂纹初始长度有关；对于试验温度较低的脆性断裂，试样在破坏时产生的分层裂纹距主裂纹根部有一定距离，分层裂纹宽度较小且未充分张开，对厚度效应影响较小。对于试验温度较高时的韧性断裂，分层裂纹首先出现在主裂纹根部，试样破坏时分层裂纹宽度较大且充分张开，减小了试样的有效厚度。高强度、高韧性的X70管线钢由于分层裂纹的产生，其力学性能与具有普通强度和韧性的钢材的力学性能存在着明显的差异，普通金属材料的韧性试验方法和材料评价方法已不再适用，必须考虑管道壁厚、缺陷大小和环境温度的综合作用。

结合管线钢的生产实践,针对X70管线钢屈强比偏高的问题,从工艺及显微组织控制方面进行了深入分析。结果显示:开冷温度低、终冷温度偏高、针状铁素体及贝氏体等硬相组织含量偏少是导致钢板屈强比偏高的主要原因。终冷温度降低到430℃以下,形成的板条贝氏体能大幅度提高钢板的抗拉强度,而屈服强度提高不大,屈强比可得到有效降低。     

Artificial Neural Networks for Hardness Prediction of HAZ with Chemical Composition and Tensile Test of X70 Pipeline Steels

A neural network with feed-forward topology and back propagation algorithm was used to predict the effects of chemical composition and tensile test parameters on hardness of heat affected zone(HAZ)in X70 pipeline steels.The mass percent of chemical compositions(i.e.carbon equivalent based upon the International Institute of Welding equation(CEIIW),the carbon equivalent based upon the chemical portion of the Ito-Bessyo carbon equivalent equation(CEPcm),the sum of the niobium,vanadium and titanium concentrations(CVTiNb),the sum of the niobium and vanadium concentrations(CNbV),the sum of the chromium,molybdenum,nickel and copper concentrations(CCrMoNiCu)),yield strength(YS)at 0.005 offset,ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and percent elongation(El)were considered as input parameters to the network,while Vickers microhardness with 10 Nload was considered as its output.For the purpose of constructing this model,104 different data were gathered from the experimental results.Scatter diagrams and two statistical criteria,i.e.absolute fraction of variance(R2)and mean relative error(MRE),were used to evaluate the prediction performance of the developed model.The developed model can be further used in practical applications of alloy and thermo-mechanical schedule design in manufacturing process of pipeline steels.
