The effect of strain aging on the microstructure, including copper precipitation, and mechanical properties of an industrially produced Cu-containing microalloyed low carbon pipeline steel has been investigated. The precipitation of round bcc-Cu particles with diameters of similar to 7nm has been clearly observed in the microstructure after strain aging. The strength of pipeline steel significantly increased while the elongation and impact toughness did not apparently decrease. Unlike welded pipe, few carbon atoms in supersaturated solid solution diffuse to the mobile dislocations, forming Cottrell atmospheres and producing strain aging phenomenon in seamless pipe. This difference is attributed to the different pipe making technique: thermo mechanically controlled processed for welded pipe and traditional heat-treatment for seamless pipe.
