Abstract

There is currently significant interest in developing quantitative linkages between microstructures and mechanical properties (yield stress and ductile–brittle transition temperature) for the weld heat-affected zone of pipelines. In this study, two line pipe steels with carbon contents of 0.03 and 0.06 wt pct were subjected to idealized thermal treatments to create microstructures that are representative for the coarse grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) for submerged arc and gas metal arc welds. The microstructure was characterized by a combination of optical metallography and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping. Tensile tests and Charpy impact tests were conducted over a range of temperatures between ambient and − 196 °C. Microstructure-property models were developed for the yield strength and cleavage stress as a function of temperature. The ductile–brittle transition temperature was rationalized in a classical approach where plastic yielding and cleavage fracture are competitive processes. The results present a quantitative framework to predict yield stress and the ductile–brittle transition temperature based on the characteristics of the microstructure.
