Abstract

Abstract: Formation and elimination of MA microstructure in pipeline steel with 0.13%C under different rolling and heat treatment processes were studied, and the effect of MA banded microstructure on the hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) resistance of the steel was analyzed. The results show that the MA banded microstructure has a significant HIC resistance of the tested steel plate. By high-temperature tempering, the MA banded microstructure can be largely decomposed, and the HIC resistance is improved, especially with a significant reduction in crack thickness rate. After normalizing and fully austenitizing, the uneven distributed solute elements in the steel diffuse evenly, and the microstructure transforms into fine ferrite+pearlite structure after phase transformation. Although there is still fine pearlite bands, good HIC resistance can still be obtained. By normalizing and tempering treatment, MA bands caused by insufficient normalizing and austenitizing can be eliminated, and the fine pearlite bands exhibit intermittent distribution characteristic, thus the uniformity of the microstructure and HIC resistance can be further improved.
