Introduction
The
transportation
of
oil
and
natural
gas
t'h
rough com-
plex
geographic
environment
demands
adequate
strength
and
toughness
for
the
pipeline
stee
l. Following
the
X65
and
X70
,
X80
pipeline
steel
is
applied
in
the
West-East
gas
pipeline.
X80
pipeline
steel
is
granular
bainite
stee
l.
Now
there
are
two different alloying
methods
for
X80
pipe-
line
steel

Mo-alloyed with
TMCP

The

Nb-microalloyed
X80
pipeline
steel
is
designed
with low
carbon
, high
manganese
and
chromium
containing.
The
content
of
niobium
is
improved
to 1
%.
Th

content
of
mo-

is
reduced
and
then
the
cost is contro

ed.
The
increase
of
the
content
of
niobium
increases
recrystalliza-
tion
temperature
,
which
makes
it
possible
finish-rolling
at
higher
temperature
by
HTP
processing
