Effect of Heat Treatments on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Low Carbon Steel Pipes Welded by Induction Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the effect of isothermal heat treatments on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties after welding by induction of A37 pipeline steel have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, hardness measurements, and tensile tests. Microstructural evolution in welded joint was identified after isothermal annealing from 200 until 900 °C.
