Structure and properties of the heat-affected zone of steel strength class Kh80 pipes with different linear welding energy

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

The effect of linear welding energy on the structure, mechanical properties, and brittle failure resistance of welded joints of pipe steel of strength class Kh80 is studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to establish features of structure formation in individual areas of the heat-affected zone. Results of studies make it possible to establish the range of linear welding energy providing preparation of the optimum set of properties for longitudinal joints of large diameter pipes made of steel of strength class Kh80.
