Patent number: 9598746Abstract: Low-alloy steels and methods of manufacturing pipes having a wall thickness greater than or equal to about 8 mm and less than or equal to about 35 mm therefrom are provided. In one embodiment, a steel composition is processed that yields an average prior austenite grain size greater than about 15 or 20 ?m and smaller than about 100 ?m. A quenching sequence has been determined that yields a microstructure of greater than or equal to about 60% martensite by volume, and less than or equal to about 40% by volume lower bainite, without substantial formation of ferrite, upper bainite, or granular bainite. The yield strength of the quenched and tempered pipes may be greater than about 70 ksi, 80 ksi, or 90 ksi.

Patent number: 8821653Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure comprise carbon steels and methods of manufacturing thick walled pipes (wall thickness greater than or equal to about 35 mm) there from. In one embodiment, a steel composition is processed that yields an average prior austenite grain size greater than about 15 or 20 ?m and smaller than about 100 ?m. Using this composition, a quenching sequence is provided that yields a microstructure of greater than or equal to about 50% by volume, and less than or equal to about 50% by volume, lower bainite, without substantial ferrite, upper bainite, or granular bainite. After quenching, pipes may be tempered. The quenched and tempered pipes may exhibit yield strengths greater than about 450 MPa (65 ksi) or 485 (70 ksi). Mechanical property measurements find the quenched and tempered pipes suitable for 450 MPa grade and 485 MPa grade, and resistance to sulfide stress corrosion cracking.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Dalmine S.p.A.Inventors: Ettore Anelli, Mariano Armengol, Paolo Novelli, Federico Tintori
