Abstract:
A high-strength high-toughness electric-resistance-welded steel pipe having high resistance to post-weld heat treatment is provided. The steel pipe having a composition including C: 0.01% to 0.12%, Si: 0.05% to 0.50%, Mn: 1.0% to 2.2%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Al: 0.001% to 0.10%, N: 0.006% or less, Nb: 0.010% to 0.100%, and Ti: 0.001% to 0.050%. The steel pipe having a structure composed of 90% or more by volume of a bainitic ferrite phase and 10% or less (including 0%) by volume of a second phase. The bainitic ferrite phase having an average grain size of 10 μm or less, and the structure containing fine Nb precipitates having a particle size of less than 20 nm dispersed in a base material portion. The steel pipe having high strength and toughness that is maintained through post-weld heat treatment, including heating to a temperature of 600° C. or more.
