Abstract

The magnetic and metallurgical properties of seamless pipe steel have been investigated as a function of position around the pipe circumference. No changes in magnetic properties were found to be associated with the four cycle spiral variations in pipe wall thickness introduced during forging. A weaker single cycle thickness variation was accompanied by a change both in magnetic properties and pearlite fraction. The coercive field predicted from an empirical relationship between grain size and ferrite and pearlite fractions was found to be in excellent agreement with that measured experimentally.
