Provided is a Cr-containing steel pipe for linepipe having X-65 to X-80 class high strength and being excellent in toughness, corrosion resistance and resistance to sulfide stress corrosion cracking, and also being excellent in resistance to intergranular stress corrosion cracking in a welded heat affected zone. To be more specific, the composition of the Cr-containing steel pipe contains, by mass% 0.001 to 0.015% C, 0.05 to 0.50% Si, 0.10 to 2.0% Mn, 0.001 to 0.10% Al, 15.0 to 18.0% Cr, 2.0 to 6.0% Ni, 1.5 to 3.5% Mo, 0.001 to 0.20% V, and 0.015% or less N so as to satisfy the following relationship of Cr + Mo + 0.4W + 0.3Si - 43.5C - 0.4Mn - Ni - 0.3Cu- 9N: 11.5 to 13.3. A welded heat affected zone which is heated to a ferrite single phase temperature region of 1300°C or more at the time of welding and is cooled has the microstructure where 50% or more of prior-ferrite grain boundaries is occupied by a martensite phase and/or an austenite phase in a ratio to the whole length of the prior-ferrite grain boundaries. Accordingly, the formation of a Cr carbide depleted zone is suppressed thus providing a steel pipe which remarkably enhances resistance to intergranular stress corrosion cracking in a welded heat affected zone. Due to such a steel pipe, it is possible to acquire an advantageous effect that it becomes unnecessary to perform post weld heat treatment thus remarkably shortenning a construction period of the welded steel pipe structure.

摘要:
Provided is a method for producing a circumferential weld joint including a weld metal having high strength, high toughness, and high corrosion resistance. With this method, when low-carbon martensitic stainless steel pipes used for pipelines for transportation of petroleum and natural gas are subjected to circumferential welding, the circumferential welding can be performed efficiently using a low-cost welding material having a composition similar to the composition of the low-carbon martensitic stainless steel pipes. Pipe ends of low-carbon martensitic stainless steel pipes containing prescribed components are butted against each other and subjected to multi-pass arc welding using a welding material containing prescribed components. In the first pass in the multi-pass arc welding, CMT welding is performed in which the welding material is moved back and forth against a molten pool to generate an arc intermittently. In the second and subsequent passes, one selected from GMA welding, GTA welding, and the CMT welding is performed.
摘要:
A Cr containing steel pipe for linepipe having high strength of X65 to X80 grade excellent in toughness, corrosion resistance, resistance to sulfide stress cracking and resistance to IGSCC in a welded heat affected zone is provided. Specifically, the steel pipe has a chemical composition consisting of, by mass%, C: 0.001% to 0.015%, Si: 0.05% to 0.50%, Mn: 0.10% to 2.0%, Al: 0.001% to 0.10%, Cr: 13% or more and less than 15%, Ni: 2.0% to 5.0%, Mo: 1.5% to 3.5%, V: 0.001% to 0.20%, N: 0.015% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, under the condition that P 1 is 11.5 to 13.3 and that P 2 =(0.5Cr+5.0)-P 1 is 0 or more. With this chemical composition, since a microstructure in a welded heat affected zone, which is subjected to heating up to a temperature range for forming ferrite single phase of 1300°C or higher and to cooling when welding is performed, is formed such that 50% or more of prior-ferrite grain boundaries, in a ratio with respect to the total length of the prior-ferrite grain boundaries, is occupied by martensite phase, and since formation of Cr carbide depleted zones is suppressed, a pipe having significantly increased resistance to IGSCC in a welded heat affected zone can be obtained. Since it is not necessary to perform a post weld treatment, there is a merit of significantly decreasing construction period of welded steel pipe structures.
