Tensile and charpy impact properties of both steels have been investigated in this work. The results have shown that the mechanical properties satisfy all the standard requirements of the X70 and X80 steels. UFC results in a presence of microstructure containing quasi polygonal（QF）, acicular ferrite（AF） and granular bainite（GB）. The alloying elements and UFC enhance the strengthening contribution caused by solid solution, dispersion, dislocation and precipitation strengthening. The size and distribution of precipitates in the linepipe steels are fine and dispersed. MA is also homogeneously dispersed due to UFC. Average grain size in the X80 steel is finer than that in the X70 steel. The volume fractions of secondary phases in the X80 steel are greater than those in the X70 steel. The X80 steel remains finer and more dispersed precipitates compared to the X70 steel. As a result, the tensile properties of X80 steel are higher than those of X70 steel. The Charpy absorbed energies of X70 and X80 steels at-10 ℃ reached 436 and 460 J, respectively. They reached 433 and 461 J at-15 ℃, respectively. This is mainly attributed to the presence of larger amounts of AFs in the X80 steel. A microstructure of AF for the X80 steel results in combining high strength and high toughness.展开更多

The finite difference method was employed to calculate the temperature field during cooling. It was confirmed by the experimental result and temperature field calculation that the optimizing process was achieved by the ultra-fast cooling with medium cooling capacity（cooling rate of ＊23 K/s）followed by ultimate cooling capacity（cooling rate of ＊50 K/s）. After optimization, the experimental steel displayed much uniform microstructure and the deviation of through-thickness hardness was controlled within 20 HV. In addition,the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of the experimental steel were 621, 728 MPa and 21.5%, respectively,meeting the requirements of the API standard for X80 pipeline steels.展开更多

The Fe3O4 nanospheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning elec- tron microscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. The diameters of the as-synthesized nanospheres were controlled at around 500-700 nm by simply changing the cool- ing rate, which had an obvious influence on the morphology and magnetic properties of these Fe3O4 nanospheres. While a low cooling rate triggered the formation and extension of the cracks present in the Fe3O4 nanospheres, a sudden drop of temperature tended to favor multi-site nucleation of the crystals as well as the formation of compact and smooth hollow nanospheres with superior crystallinity and high saturation magnetization. The growth mechanism of hollow magnetite oxide nanospheres was proposed and the correlation between the structure and the magnetic properties of the hollow nanospheres was discussed, which promises the potential of the hollow nanospheres in various applications such as drug delivery and cell separation.展开更多
