Russian Metallurgy (Metally) Aims and scope

Abstract—The results of studying the influence of pipe forming on the mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength, yield strength) of the base metal of large diameter pipes of strength classes K52–K65 (X56–X80) are analyzed. The differences in the properties determined by testing longitudinal and transverse standard cylindrical and full-thickness specimens cut from both a sheet and the finished pipe and plate specimens cut at various distances from the pipe surface (from different layers) are analyzed. The relation between the state of stress in pipe steel at various stages of pipe forming and its mechanical properties is considered.
