Abstract

Longitudinal submerged arc welding pipeline steels with heavy caliber and large wall thickness are widely applied in the oil gas transmission to enhance the transmission efficiency and save cost. K65 pipeline steels are the main material for the Bovanenkove-Ukhta oil & gas transmission project. It is required that the -40 ℃ low temperature toughness of weld metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) are over 60 J for K65 pipelines. This standard is much stricter than that of X80 pipelines. The pipeline with superior low temperature toughness is seldom investigated. In this work, the Mn-Ni-Mo-Ti-B alloy submerged arc welding wire with high strength and high tough ness was designed, which was favorable to obtain excellent low temperature toughness. The results showed that the weld metal had a good combination of strength and low temperature toughness, the yield strength was 583~689 MPa, the tensile strength was 714~768 MPa, and the impact absorbed energy at -40 ℃ was over 90 J. The wire with a diameter of 4.0 mm was suitable for double-sided submerged arc welding with four wires, and the -40 ℃ impact energy of HAZ was over 100 J. The microstructure of weld metal was primarily comprised of fine acicular ferrite (AF), proeutectoid grain boundary ferrite (GBF), ferrite side plates (FSP) and small martensite/austenite (M/A) constituents. The weld metal with 0.2%Mo can effectively restrain the formation of GBF and FSP, significantly refining the grain size. The increased Mn and Ni contents enhanced the low temperature toughness of weld metal by increasing the amount of acicular ferrite. However, the concentration of Mn and Ni should be controlled under a critical value; much more Mn and Ni additions would promote the formation of martensite or other low temperature microstructural features, which is detrimental to weld metal toughness. The optimum combination of alloying element content was (1.5%~2.0%)Mn, (0.9%~1.2%)Ni, (0.2%~0.25%)Mo. Excellent strength and toughness can be obtained through replacing Ni by Mn in the terms of the concentration of Mn and Ni being above the M_s line.

Key words: K65 pipeline steel weld metal heat affected zone (HAZ) acicular ferrite martensite/austenite (M/A) constituent low temperature impact toughness
