In this study, an optimum tempering temperature after a thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) was proposed to improve the hydrogen-induced ductility loss of high-vanadium X80 pipeline steel. The results showed that with increasing tempering temperature from 450 to 650 °C, the size and quantity of granular bainite decreased but the spacing of deformed lath ferrite and the fraction of massive ferrite increased. The number of fine vanadium carbides increased as well. However, as the tempering temperature increased to 700 °C, the microstructure of T700 steel completely converted to massive ferrite and the grain size became larger. Additionally, the amount of nanoscale precipitates decreased again, and the mean size of precipitates evidently increased in T700 steel. The steel tempering at 650 °C, containing the most vanadium precipitates with a size less than 20 nm, had the lowest hydrogen diffusion coefficient and the best resistance to hydrogen-induced ductility loss.

Effects of technological parameters of thermo mechanical control process (TMCP) on microstructure and mechanical properties of the API X60 pipeline steels have been investigated. The parameters of TMCP for obtaining better mechanical properties are given. The experimental results show that the mixed microstructure mostly composed of polygonal ferrite, pearlite/bainite and martensite-austenite constituent (M-A) has the optimum strength and ductility.
