Effect of Structure and Texture on Failure of Pipe Steel Sheets produced by TMCP
Abstract
The method of orientation microscopy (EBSD) is used to study the structure and texture of low-carbon, low-alloy pipe steel sheets processed by controlled thermomechanical processing (TMCP). The temperatures of isothermal hot rolling varied. Samples cut from sheets showed a different fracture tendency during mechanical testing. The formation of cleavages (secondary cracks) during failure of steel is related to the presence of ferrite grains with orientation {001} <110> extended in the hot rolling direction. The formation of grains is a consequence of the isothermal hot rolling below the temperature A
