Grain growth and austenite decomposition in two niobium containing line pipe steels

Niobium is a common microalloying element for line pipe steels for the promotion of fine ferrite microstructures following hot rolling. During construction via welding, niobium carbonitrides formed during coiling may dissolve depending on peak temperatures reached. This has a strong influence on the...
