The present invention provides steel plate for high strength line pipe suppressing the rise in yield strength in the longitudinal direction of expanded steel pipe due to the heating at the time of coating to prevent corrosion and superior in strain aging resistance and steel pipe for the material for the same, that is, high strength steel pipe for line pipe superior in strain aging resistance characterized in that a base material having a composition of chemical elements containing, by mass%, Mo: over 0% to less than 0.15% and Mn: 1.7 to 2.5%, satisfying Mo/Mn: over 0 to 0.08, containing C, Si, P, S, Al, Ti, N, and B, furthermore containing one or more of Ni, Cu, and Cr, having a balance of iron and unavoidable impurities, having a P value of 2.5 to 4.0 in range, and having a metallurgical structure comprised of bainite and martensite: P - value = 2.7 C + 0.4 Si + Mn + 0.8 Cr + 0.45 ( Ni + Cu ) + 2 Mo . Furthermore, it may contain one or more of Nb, V, Ca, REM, and Mg.
Abstract:
A welding system (10) for welding a pipe (18) within a confined space includes a motor housing (11), a weld head assembly (12) remote from the motor housing and an insertion tube (13) extending between the motor housing and the weld head assembly. The motor housing is supported on a platform (17) for rotational and translational movement of the weld head assembly and houses a motor for positioning the weld head assembly relative to the pipe. The weld head assembly includes a clamp assembly (31) for attaching to the pipe and a weld tool assembly (30) mounted adjacent the clamp assembly for welding the pipe. An arc length gear (33) and a travel gear (34) adjust the distance between a torch assembly (38) and the pipe, and adjust the location of the torch assembly around the pipe when the weld head assembly is attached to the pipe.
Abstract:
A weld joint having a base material and a weld metal both of an austenitic steel, wherein the weld metal has a chemical composition, in mass %, that C: 0.04 % or less, Si: 1.0 % or less, Mn: 3 % or less, P: 0.02 % or less, S: 0.005 % or less, Cr: 15 to 25 %, Ni: 30 % or more, Mo: 10 % or less, Nb: 2.5 to 5 %, Al: 3.0 % or less, Ti: 0.5 % or less, and the balance: Fe and inevitable impurities, with the proviso that the contents of Al and Ti satisfy the following: (Ti + Al) > Nb/8, and wherein the base material has a chemical composition, in mass %, that C: 0.04 % or less, Si: 1.0 % or less, Mn: 3 to 30 %, P: 0.02 % or less, S: 0.005 % or less, Cr: 15 to 30 %, Ni: 5 to 30 %, N: 0.10 to 0.50% and further contains at least one of 10 % or less of Mo, 10 % or less of W, 0.001 to 1.0 % of V, 0.10 % or less of Al, 0.01 % or less of Ti, 0.01 % or less of Zr and 0.01 % or less of Hf, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. The weld joint is a high strength austenitic steel weld joint which exhibits excellent toughness at a low temperature and excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, which are required for a piping and a vessel for high pressure hydrogen, particularly also in a welded zone.

Microsurgical probes having a distal tip with a flat outer surface and a flat inner surface, and methods of forming such probes, are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a pipe section (220)and a connector (400) that are adapted to be welded together, wherein each of the pipe and connector have inner and outer beveled surfaces and the joint is comprised of an angular alignment land (60). In one embodiment, an outer beveled surface on the pipe and an inner beveled surface on the connector cooperate to define the angular alignment land (60). In yet another illustrative embodiment, the inner beveled surface of the connector and the outer beveled surface of the pipe have a bevel angle of approximately 30 degrees, while the outer beveled surface of the connector and the inner beveled surface of the pipe have a beveled angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Durchlaufschweißmaschine (1) zum Verschweißen einander zugewandter Seiten eines aus einem Materialzuschnitt gebogenen Rohrrohlings (15), mit einem Führungsschwert (2) zur Führung der miteinander zu verschweißenden Seiten des Rohlings (15) in Richtung zu einer Schweißeinrichtung (3) sowie mit über den Umfang der für den Rohrrohling (15) bestimmten Führungsbahn angeordneten Rohrführungen (4, 5). Für die erfindungsgemäße Durchlaufschweißmaschine (1) ist kennzeichnend, dass die Rohrführungen (4, 5) und das Führungsschwert (2) zum Anpassen an unterschiedliche Rohrdurchmesser in radialer Richtung relativ zu einer Führungsachse (7) hin verstellbar sind, und dass die den zu verschweißenden Seiten des Rohrrohlings (15) zugeordneten und auch gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Führungsschwertes (2) angeordneten Führungsbahnen (8, 9) des Führungsschwertes (2) winklig zueinander in einer durch die Führungsachse (7) verlaufenden Ebene angeordnet sind. Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Durchlaufschweißmaschine lassen sich wahlweise Rohre mit unterschiedlichem Rohrdurchmesser im Wechsel herstellen (vgl. Fig.3 ).
