Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0068443A2] The invention relates to a method for producing welded steel pipes with a high degree of strength, ductility and deformability, especially linepipes, according to the UOE-method. A pipe is moulded cold from a TM-rolled sheet, welded together and calibrated to the desired diameter. Starting with a sheet consisting of a steel with the following (in wt.%): 0.02 to 0.20 % carbon, 0.05 to 0.50 % silicon, 0.50 to 2.50 % manganese, 0.003 to 0.06 % aluminium, the remainder being iron with a few production-related impurities, after welding and calibration, the pipe is subjected to a heat treatment process at a temperature of 100-300 degrees Celsius and for a holding time that is appropriate for the thickness of the pipe wall, with subsequent cooling with air or by forced cooling. The resulting pipe is resistant to ageing and has a sufficiently integral deformation reserve against fracturing with the same high degree of strength, without exceeding the upper limit for the ratio of yield strength to tensile stress according to the current regulations for conventional steels.
