摘要

Nb-rich and Ti/V-rich precipitates were introduced into the X65 linepipe via thermomechanical controlled processing. Their dissolution kinetics were investigated in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone after electric resistance welding. Nb-rich precipitates were found to dissolve completely, whereas Ti/V-rich precipitates were found to dissolve partially, because of slower dissolution kinetics. A complete dissolution of Nb-rich precipitates was associated with significant austenite grain coarsening, which promoted bainite as a quench product, which might have reduced the impact toughness.
