Acicular ferrite microstructure was achieved for an ultralow carbon pipeline steel through the improved thermomechanical control process (TMCP), which was based on the transformation process of deformed austenite of steel. Compared with commercial pipeline steels, the experimental ultralow carbon pipeline steel possessed the satisfied strength and toughness behaviors under the current improved TMCP, although it contained only approximately 0.025% C, which should mainly be attributed to the microstructural characteristics of acicular ferrite.

Effects of Zirconium on the chemical component and
size distribution of Ti-bearing inclusions, favored the grain
refinement of the welding induced, coarse-grained heat affected zone
(CGHAZ) with enhanced impact toughness in Ti-killed steels, which
were examined based on experimental observations and thermodynamic
calculations. It indicated that the chemical constituents of
inclusions gradually varied from the Ti-O oxide to the Ti-O+Zr-O
compound oxide and a single phase of the ZrO 2 oxide, as the Zr
content increased from zero to 0.0100\%. A trace of Zr
(0.0030 %--0.0080n %, depending on the oxygen content in liquid
steel) provided a large amount of nucleating core for Ti oxide
because of the larger specific density of ZrOn 2 oxide, and
produced a small size distribution of the inclusions favorable for
acicular ferrite transformation with a high nucleation rate in the
CGHAZ, and a high volume fraction of acicular ferrite was obtained
in the CGHAZ, with enhanced impact toughness. Otherwise, a high
content of Zr (~0.0100 %) produced a single phase ZrO 2,
which was impotent to nucleate acicular ferrite, and a
microstructure composed of ferrite side plate and grain boundary
ferrite developed in the CGHAZ. The experimental results were
confirmed by thermodynamic calculations.
