Abstract—On the basis of laboratory experiments on an ITs Termodeform-MGTU test system, the production of rolled plates with large thickness from pipe steel of improved strength (Rt 0.5 = 505–610 MPa, Rm = 570–680 MPa) and cold resistance (KV–48 ≥ 170 J, DWTT–55 ≥ 90%) is introduced in the 5000 rolling mill at PJSC MMK. To ensure high cold resistance, the formation of predominantly quasi-polygonal and polygonal (polyhedral) ferrite is optimal. It is found that, if the steel microstructure includes a considerable quantity of bainite, the performance of the steel in drop tests is impaired. By means of the Gleeble 3500 test system, the thermokinetic diagram of supercooled-austenite decomposition is plotted for the new low-carbon pipe steel, with up to 1% Ni.
