Abstract With aim to solve the softening problem of heat affected zone (HAZ) in girth welding of low carbon microalloyed tube, the microstructure of plate, tube and HAZ was analyzed by optical microscope (OM), EBSD and transmission electron microscope (TEM).The results show that the grain size of the plate is between 12 and 13 grade which belongs to ultrafine grain range, and the microstructure is granular bainite. Due to the deformation strengthening during the process of tubulation,the fraction of the low-angle grain boundary increase by 27.5% compared with plate metal. The fraction of the deformed grain increase from 8.75% to 78.75% after deformation. The dislocation density rise from the original 4.2×1013 /m2 to 1.9×1014 /m2 after deformation. With influence of the thermal cycle of girth welding, the hardness in the part of HAZ is greatly reduced, and softening occurs. Furthermore, in the softening region, the low angle grain boundary decreases by 11.8%, and the dislocation density decreases to 3.9×1013 /m2, at the same level of plate. Therefore, the grain growth, the dislocation density decrease, and the recrystallization ratio increase are main reasons for the softening of girth welding joint of low carbon microalloyed tube.
