Abstract
Microstructure of pipeline steels can be designed to meet the requirements of high performance pipeline steel. Grain or microstructure refinement is a key point for metallurgical design of high strength pipeline steel. A dual phase of ferrite and bainite microstructure design can be used for high deformability pipeline steel. Clean steel, no segregation, uniform microstructure and low hardness are basic requirements for pipeline steel used in sour environment. Microstructure and properties of high performance pipeline steel developed in China recently are introduced in this paper.
