| Abstract: | With the development of domestic pipeline steels, it is necessary to develop suitable welding technology which can improve the properties of the welded pipeline. In this paper, the microstructures and mechanical properties of domestic X70 pipeline steels and welded joints are discussed. The welding consumables of BOHLER E6010 and HOBART 81N1 are matched for girth welding. The following characteristics in heat-affected zone(HAZ) are indicated that microstructures of intercritical HAZ(ICHAZ) is finer and more uniform, the grain sizes of fine-grain HAZ(FGHAZ) and subcritical HAZ(SCHAZ) are smaller than that of coarse-grain HAZ(CGHAZ). The hardness, tensile strength and toughness of welded joints come up to the standard. The micrographs of impact specimens in welded joints are cleavage, quasi-cleavage and dimple which shows there is typical ductile rupture. |
