Title:
HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL PIPE WITH EXCELLENT LOW-TEMPERATURE TOUGHNESS FOR LINE PIPE, HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL PLATE FOR LINE PIPE, AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THESE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/004680
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A high-strength steel pipe for line pipes which is inhibited from decreasing in HAZ toughness and has excellent low-temperature toughness; a process for producing the steel pipe; a high-strength steel plate for line pipes which is for use as a raw material for the high-strength steel pipe for line pipes; and a process for producing the steel plate. The high-strength steel pipe for line pipes which has excellent low-temperature toughness is characterized in that the composition of the base metal contains, in terms of mass%, 0.020-0.080% C, 0.01-0.50% Si, 0.01-0.15% Mo, 0.0005-0.030% Al, and 0.0001-0.030% Nb, provided that C+0.25Si+0.1Mo+Al+Nb is 0.100% or less, and that former austenite grain boundaries in the part which was influenced by welding heat and has been reheated have an austenite/martensite mixture which has a width of 10 µm or smaller and a length of 50 µm or smaller.
