The features of formation of a martensite-austenite (M-A) constituent in the X65 steel after its helical rolling and laser welding are studied using transmission electron microscopy. Four main types of the M-A constituent are identified in the structures. After thermomechanical treatment at low cooling rates, an island type M-A constituent with a complex internal multiphase structure (Types I and III) or a structure consisting entirely of the twinned martensite (Type II) is formed in the X65 steel. The type of the M-A constituent changes after laser welding. The island multiphase areas of the M-A constituent are replaced by dispersed elongated sections in the heat-affected zones (HAZ), consisting of the residual austenite (Type IV) or the twinned martensite. The satellite spots are observed in the microdiffraction patterns taken from the M-A constituent areas in the HAZ of the welded joint. Their formation is attributed to local supersaturation of carbon in the M-A constituent and its inhomogeneous distribution due to the limited diffusion during fast cooling after laser welding.
