Microstructure and Toughness of X80 Hot-roller Steel strip for the Second West to East Gas Pipeline Project

With steel grade and gas pressure increasing, the requirments to crack arrest toughness in transportation pipeline are also increase.Effect factors on X80 steel impact toughness were studied. Through a great deal of industrial production data,it found that the content of carbon or sulphur influence impact toughness obviously.

In order to satisfy the requirment of minimum 240 J at -20ˇć for the Second West to East Gas Pipeline Project, the carbon mass fraction should be within the range of (0.035~0.065) wt%, and S was Below 0.003wt%.

With the effective grain size of X80 steel strip recduing, yeild strength and impact toughness both increased, fine and equally dispersed M-A structure can effectively improve X80 steel strength, while structure with strip or sharp angel would deteriorate the toughness of X80 steel.
