Abstract: Effects of deformation amount of single pass deformation and double pass deformation and temperature waiting time on austenite recrystallization and grain growth of X80 pipeline steel were studied by thermal simulation experiments. The results show that the austenite grain size decreases with the increase of single pass deformation amount. When the deformation amount is 25%-30%, the average grain size of austenite of the tested steel is about 22 μm. For the X80 pipeline steel with Nb content of about 0.08%, the austenite can still be fully recrystallized after the deformation at 980 ℃ and then holding for 1 min. The growth trend of austenite grain is not obvious with the increase of temperature waiting time, with the grain size is 22-28 μm. According to the calculation of the recrystallization temperature model, the recrystallization temperature of the tested steel is about 946 ℃. According to the calculation of the temperature drop equation of the slab, the temperature waiting time after single pass deformation should not exceed 200 s.
