Macrography of the welded joint taken from the vertical up part of the joint, presenting the root in one pass, the fill of the joint in three passes, the cap in three passes and two temper bead passes. The 10" diameter tube, 9.5mm thick, was welded by GTAW in the root (80SD2 filler metal) and by SMAW for fill, cap and temper bead passes (10018-D2 filler metal).

ML00153 — X52 in a Tubular StructureM - CMn SteelP - Seamless PipeAp - StructureCd - Qualified
Schematic drawing of the API 5L X52 pipe, butt welded to another pipe, showing the 4 cap passes. The pipe is nominal diameter 8" and thickness 1/2". The qualification of the WPS was conducted according to the structural code, with toughness requirements (Charpy V at 0°C), with 4 lateral bending tests, all approved, and 2 welded joint tensile tests, one with ruptured in the base metal and the other ruptured in the weld metal, both presenting strenght level higher than the minimum specified. The pipe was tensile tested.

Micrography of the weded joint at the cap pass fusion line. The columnar structure of the weld metal is to the top of the figure; and it is possible to see the coarse grains at the heat affected zone. Both columnar structure and coarse grains are related to the previous austenite grain boundaries. From the fusion line to the base metal (in the bottom of the figure) the grain sizes are refined.
