The precipitates obtained in X100 pipeline steel can be divided into two kinds： ＂complex＂ and ＂single＂ particles by morphology. The EDX analysis of ＂single＂ precipitates reveals that the chemical composition matches well with particle dimensions, especially the Nb to Ti ratio regularly decreases with the increase of particle size. The yield strength increments in the way of precipitation strengthening of X100 pipeline steel reached about 52 MPa, suggesting that the precipitation strengthening is not the dominative strengthening mechanism for X100 pipeline steel.展开更多
