Abstract
In the present study, the main objective is to improve the mechanical properties of ahigh steel HSLA grade such as X80 for welded pipes. A study was conducted to optimise thethermomechanical treatment and to attain the mechanical properties of the X80 grade ofHSLA steels. From the same chemical composition of the hot rolled X60 grade Nb-Ti-Vmicroalloyed strip steel, we want to enlarge the production to the superior X80 gradetype. Dilatometry tests, hot torsion and hot rolling using a pilot mill allowed thesimulation of operating process sequences. The results of the rolling schedules performedin a pilot mill allowed us to analyse the effect of the deformation parameters(temperature conditions and reduction) on the evolution of the final structure and themechanical properties of the Nb-Ti-V microalloyed steel.
