A significant toughness enhancement, and microstructural evolution of an electric resistance welded (ERW) microalloyed steel

In this investigation, microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of an X52 microalloyed steel processed by a full scale industrial electric resistance welding (ERW) equipment was studied. The need for adequate level of mechanical properties, in particular toughness, in the welded pipes is...
