Resumo
ERW pipes were produced to meet API 5L X65 requirements for sour service, using heats with varied Mn and S contents, with and without calcium treatment. The slabs were thermo-mechanically rolled to 6–12 mm thickness. Microstructure analysis showed quasi-polygonal ferrite and grain size 13. Inclusion analysis revealed more oxides and sulfides in calcium-treated heats. All samples met tensile strength requirements, with higher values in the transverse direction. Charpy impact tests at -20°C showed 100% ductile fracture, with no brittle-ductile transition down to -100°C, confirming excellent toughness even in heats without calcium treatment.
