Three-wire submerged arc welding was utilized to weld a newly developed Zr-Ti microalloyed X120 linepipe with heat input of 21 kJ/cm. The microstructure in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), predominantly consisted of ba...
Baoshan Iron & Steel Co.,Ltd., (referred to as Baosteel) in China first succeeded in developing the U-ing-O- ing-Expanding (UOE) longitudinal submerged arc welded pipes (SAWLs) offshore linepipe of a maximum th...
The addition of microalloying elements (MAE) to low C-Mn-Si HSLA steels has led to many benefits to the producers,fabricators and end-users.Microstructural improvements such as microstructural refinement,higher disloc...

The HIPERC study was a European research project involving several steel companies and research organisations which examined the effects of alloying elements and processing conditions in low carbon (<0.09 wt %),nio...
An analysis of the girth weldability of Baosteel X80 UOE (U-ing-O-ing-Expanding) linepipes was conducted using manual shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and semiautomatic self-shielded flux cored wire arc welding ...
