Abstract:The microstructure and precipitate characterizes in the API X90 hot bend related to mechanical properties was investigated by OM, TEM, EBSD and mechanical tests. X90 pipeline steel is consist of quasi-polygonal ferrite (QPF), acicular ferrite (AF), lath bainite (LB) and a small amount of M/A constituents. The width of bainite lath is about 0.2~0.3 μm. After hot induction bending, hardly observe AF in the bend zone. In the outer arc side, the width of LB was coarsened to 0.53˜1.34 μm, and sharp M/A constituents… Show more
