    摘要: The steel pipe has a structure composed mainly of ferrite or ferrite plus pearlite or ferrite plus cementite. The steel pipe is characterized by grain size not greater than 3 &mgr;m, preferably not greater than 1 &mgr;m, elongation greater than 20%, tensile strength (TS:MPa) and elongation (E1:%) whose product is greater than 10000, and percent ductile fracture greater than 95%, preferably 100%, measured by Charpy impact test on an actual pipe at −100° C. The structure is characterized by C: 0.005-0.03%, Si: 0.01-3.0%, Mn: 0.01-2.0%, and Al: 0.001-0.10% on a weight basis, and is composed of ferrite or ferrite and a secondary phase, with ferrite grains being not greater than 3 &mgr;m and the secondary phase having an areal ratio not more than 30%. A steel pipe stock having the above-mentioned composition is heated at a temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. and subsequently reduced at a rolling temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. such that the cumulative reduction of diameter is greater than 20%. The reducing is preferably performed such that at least one of rolling passes reduces the diameter by more than 6% per pass. The steel pipe will have high ductility and high strength and will be superior in toughness and stress corrosion cracking resistance, if the content of C, Si, Mn, and other alloying elements is limited low and reducing is performed at the temperature specified above. The resulting steel pipe has good fatigue resistance and is suitable for use as line pipe.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for smoothing a thick walled portion of a steel pipe produced by pressure-welding two opposite longitudinal edges of an open pipe with a squeeze roll after being subjected to induction heating. Outer and inner reduction rollers pressure sandwiches the thick walled portion from the outer and inner surfaces of the pipe, a support supports the inner reduction roller to be rotatable and containing a water passage for cooling water, a connecting rod connects the support device to a coupler and contains a further water passage for feeding cooling water to the water passage, and an anchor holds the connecting rod. In the method of producing steel pipes two opposite longitudinal edges of the open pipe are preformed before being subjected to the induction heating and thereafter a thick walled portion is smoothed by the above-described.

    摘要: A welded steel pipe is formed by heating or soaking an untreated welded steel pipe having a steel composition comprising, on the basis of mass percent: about 0.05% to about 0.3% C; about 2.0% or less of Si; more than about 1.5% to about 5.0% Mn; about 0.1% or less of P; about 0.01% or less of S; about 0.1% or less of Cr; about 0.1% or less of Al; about 0.1% or less of Nb; about 0.3% or less of Ti; and about 0.01% or less of N; and by diameter-reduction-rolling the treated steel pipe at a accumulated diameter reduction rate of at least about 35% and a finish rolling temperature of about 500° C. to about 900° C. The welded steel pipe exhibits excellent hydroformability, i.e., has a tensile strength of about 780 MPa or more and a n×r product of at least about 0.15. The treated steel pipe is preferably diameter-reduction-rolled at a accumulated diameter reduction rate of at least about 20% below the Ar3 transformation point.
