Kuznetsova, UDC 669.018.29 A. A. Pecheritsa, A. G. Suponin, and S. N. Dobrydnev The Volzhsk Pipe Plant is continually working on optimizing the chemical composition of steel and developing new methods of steelmaking and out-of-furnace treatment, in addition to methods of rolling, heat-treating, and finishing hot-rolled tubes with good resistance to cold and corrosion. Choice of Chemical Composition. Steel 17GFA was chosen as the material for the production of hot-rolled pipes 150–426 mm in diameter on the basis of the results of tests conducted by the Volzhsk Pipe Plant together with the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Pipes and the Central Scientific Research Institute of Metallurgy [1–4]. The chemical com- position of the steel is shown in Table 1. The fact that the steel contains up to 1% Mn helps refine the grains, make the ferrite more ductile, and improves the quenchability. It also helps improve corrosion resistance in hydrogen sulfide [5]. Microalloying with vanadium strengthens the metal with fine carbonitride particles after quenching and tempering. There is no adverse effect on weldability (C TI - Effect of Heat-Treatment Regimes on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Steel 13GFA JF - Metallurgist DO - 10.1023/A:1010407812532 DA - 2004-10-17 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/effect-of-heat-treatment-regimes-on-the-mechanical-properties-and-CS4RDh0SXM SP - 36 EP - 40 VL - 45 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
