Image by scanning electron microscopy of the metallurgically bonded interface of the internally cladded pipe. It is a seamless pipe in a low alloy steel X70 cladded by welding overlay of Alloy 625 (by automatic GTAW process). The region is a detail of the interface inside the Ni alloy weld metal, presenting columnar grains and intragranular preciptation. The pipe was heat treated before bending (solution annealing) and after bending (quenching and tempering to meet X70 grade). The microhardness of this region is higher than the value obtained out of this region, in the overlay.

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.
