High productivity welding of a modern higher niobium, low carbon pipe steel for high toughness applications

International Seminar on Welding of High Strength Pipeline Steels

2013
Starck, S
A new generation higher niobium X70 pipe steel has been welded using the high productivity submerged arc, multi-wire process with 2 passes for joining the longitudinal seams. High toughness weld deposits have been produced using a microalloying system produced using solid TiB SAW welding wires combined with a specially designed semi-basic SAW flux. High levels of toughness were produced in the weld metal and heat affected zone, evaluated using ISO-V and CTOD testing.

Strengthening Mechanisms and Their Relative Contributions to the Yield Strength of Microalloyed Steels
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, The Charles Hatchett Award is a prestigious recognition that aims to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. The award is sponsored by CBMM | Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts worldwide, and a panel of international experts selects the winning paper. The 2013 Charles Hatchett Award winners’ presentation aims to understand the strengthening mechanism of micro alloyed steels by determining strengthening contributions due to the effects of the grain size and the influence of precipitation.
