Abstract: A ferrite/bainite (F/B) dual-phase pipeline steel was heat treated at 700,720,740,and 760 ℃ in the dual-phase region and steel specimens with 4 different volume fractions (16%,28%,41%,48%)of bainite were obtained.The effect of volume fraction of bainite on the strength,plasticity and toughness of the steel was studied by using SEM,TEM and mechanical properties test.The results show that the F/B dual-phase microstructure has lower yield strength and comparable tensile strength,resulting in better strain capacity,namely,lower yield ratio,higher elongation and work hardening exponent compared with that of as-rolled original microstructure.The volume fraction of bainite has little effect on the strength,elongation and work hardening exponent for the F/B dual-phase pipeline steel,however,it plays an significant role in impact property.The excellent strength,plasticity and toughness can be obtained when the volume fraction of bainite is around 40%.

Key words: pipeline steel, ferrite/bainite, volume fraction of bainite, microstructure, mechanical properties
