Shielded metal arc welding （SMAW） and gas- shielded flux-cored wire arc welding （FCAW-G） have been applied, and the girth weld joint quality and mechanical performance were evaluated. It was found that the field girth weldability of Baosteel＇ s XT0 UOE pipes was excellent under the conditions used here and satisfied the requirements of the QCLNG project for field girth welding construction. Furthermore,Baosteel has offered a solution to the QCLNG project for pipeline girth welding in which the girth welding joint design, selection of welding processes and consumables, welding procedures, techniques and joint inspections are included. Such research provides important guidance for the difficult tie-in welding applications for the construction of the QCLNG pipelines in the field.展开更多
为研究Nb含量对焊接热影响区微观组织和性能的影响,采用熔化极气体保护焊(gas metal arc welding,GMAW)和手工焊条电弧焊(shielded metal arc welding,SMAW)对0.055%Nb和0.075%Nb含量的X80钢管进行环焊.采用夏比冲击试验和金相分析方法...为研究Nb含量对焊接热影响区微观组织和性能的影响,采用熔化极气体保护焊(gas metal arc welding,GMAW)和手工焊条电弧焊(shielded metal arc welding,SMAW)对0.055%Nb和0.075%Nb含量的X80钢管进行环焊.采用夏比冲击试验和金相分析方法,研究热影响区的微观组织差异和夏比冲击韧性.并借助扫描电镜和超高温激光共聚焦显微镜分析不同Nb含量X80管体的微观组织对热影响区性能的影响.结果表明,在0℃和-20℃时,0.075%Nb和0.055%Nb的X80钢管GMAW环焊接头热影响区均具有较高的冲击韧性,其平均冲击吸收能量均高于150 J.其中0.055%Nb略高于0.075%Nb的GMAW环焊接头热影响区夏比冲击吸收能量;焊接热输入较低时,0.055%Nb低于0.075%Nb的X80环焊接头粗晶区的韧脆转变温度,具有更好的低温韧性.焊接热输入较高时,0.075%Nb的X80环焊接头粗晶区具有更高的上平台冲击吸收能量,且上平台温度和韧脆转变温度也更低,其低温韧性也更优异;还发现了X80环焊接头热影响区的冲击韧性不仅与热输入量和热影响区马氏体-奥氏体组织(M-A)的形状、大小、分布有关,而且还受管体中Nb含量、原始的强度与韧性、微观组织状态的遗传影响.展开更多
