Reason analysis on bend pipe(made of low hardness P91 steel) softening caused by tempering after welding was conducted.To analyze the softening mechanism
the microstructure and mechanical properties of P91 steel were tested.The results showed that
tensile strength and duration strength of the softened P91 steel decreased significantly.Processing technology of P91 steel pipe
over high tempering temperature and too long tempering time can enhance the recrystallization of martensite
during which a certain amount of ferrite appears
which was one of important causes for the softening.Therefore
relevant measures about process control for heat treatment were developed
