Abstract

Formation of the microstructure and properties of pipe steel grade K60 (X70) are studied using physical modeling of thermomechanical processing in a DUO 300 laboratory mill and industrial experiment. Steel microstructure is investigated and temperature ranges for formation of various phases and structural components (ferrite, bainite, martensite, M/A-component) with accelerated cooling are determined. It is found that formation of martensitic regions and M/A-component as secondary structural constituents in a ferrite matrix instead of cementite-containing secondary structures facilitates an increase in steel strength and improvement of the σyf ratio without a significant reduction in cold resistance. The chemical composition of steel grade K60 (X70) is developed on the basis of laboratory and industrial experiments, as well as a new industrial process for producing rolled product for pipes for the Sila Sibiri gas pipeline sections crossing active tectonic disturbance zones. Sheet and pipes have a low σyf ratio, high values of relative and uniform elongation, impact strength and proportion of ductile component in a fracture after DWTT testing at – 20°C.
