Abstract:
A large-diameter, thick-walled martensite stainless steel welded steel pipe, wherein a protrusion of a weld bead at an inner seam of the pipe is limited in size based on a conditional expression involving bead width and height, and yield strengths of a base material and a weld metal, thereby providing an excellent corrosion resistance, especially a stress corrosion cracking resistance (SCC resistance) at an inner seam of the pipe. A proper selection of a chemical composition can further enhance corrosion resistance such as sulfide stress cracking resistance (sour resistance) and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance. This welded steel pipe is particularly suitable for a pipeline steel pipe for transporting crude oil, natural gas or the like that are strong in metal corroding action and omitted in dehydrating treating.
