Isothermal Heat Treatments

In this work, the effect of isothermal heat treatments on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties after welding by induction of A37 pipeline steel have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, hardness measurements, and tensile tests. Microstructural evolution in welded joint was identified after isothermal annealing from 200 until 900 °C.

<p class="AMSmaintext"><span lang="EN-GB">Welding is one of the most important technological processes used in many branches of industry such us industrial engineering, shipbuilding, pipeline fabrication among others. Generally, welding is the preferred joining method and most common steel are weldable. This investigation is a contribution to some scientific works which have been done on welding of low carbon steel. This work, presents some heat treatments were used to alter the microstructure of base metal (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal (WM) in the welded pipe steel of grade API X70. It presents the microstructures obtained after three heat treatments at 200°C, 400°C and 600°C for 30 min. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction have been used as characterization techniques to observe the WM microstructures, in addition the Vickers hardness test are also achieved. The results revealed that the isothermal heat treatment caused grain growth and coarsening reactions in the weld zone and the hardness of weld joints decreased were the main transformations after increasing the temperature of the heat treatment. </span></p>

Partitioning Time

A low carbon steel was treated by quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process, and a detailed characterization of the microstructural evolution and testing of mechanical properties were carried out. The resulted mechanical properties indicate that with the partitioning time increasing, the tensile strength decreases rapidly first and then remains stable, and the total elongation increases first then decreases. The investigated steel subjected to Q&P process exhibits excellent products of strength and elongation (17.8-20.6 GPa•%). The microstructural evolution of martensite matrix during the partitioning step was observed, and the morphology and content of retained austenite were characterized. The working hardening behavior of the samples was analyzed, and the retained austenite with higher carbon content contributes to the uniform elongation more effectively.
