Influence of crystallographic texture of TMCP pipe steel on the nature of deformation and fracture during tensile testing

Abstract

The influence of crystallographic texture of low-carbon, low-alloyed pipe steel (06Mn2MoNb) after thermo-mechanical controlled processing on fracture deformation has been studied by means of tensile testing and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method. The paper demonstrates that fracture in textured metallic materials is characterized by anisotropy, while its characteristics are orientation-dependent. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.. All rights reserved.
