摘要
This paper discusses the development of a girth welding technique for X120 linepipe. The solid-wire, pulsed gas metal arc welding (PGMAW) process with Ar-based shielding gas was selected for its process control, and low oxygen and hydrogen potentials. The weld metal microstructure was designed using fundamental metallurgical principles and verified through the evaluation of about twenty experimental wires and several commercial-scale heats of wire. Weld metal chemistry and shielding gas composition were optimized. The developed microstructure is termed acicular ferrite interspersed in martensite (AFIM). Transmission electron microscopy was the primary too] used for microstructural analysis and weld metal inclusion design.
