Line pipe steels are used to transport the crude oil and natural gas for the long range distances. The line pipe steel grades API X 60, API X 70 and API 80 defined by the American Petroleum Association are widely used by the line pipe manufacturers. The mechanical properties of the API grade steels are mostly affected by the segregation of alloying elements. Centre macro segregation is one of the most significant defects in continuous casting. This type of segregation causes the band structures through the steel coils. Therefore, if the cracks were occurred along these band structures, the cracks could easily move to the end of the line pipe following the band path. The most significant and effective method to reduce the macro segregation is the soft reduction which is the state-ofart of the continuous casting technology. The main aim of the soft reduction is to disperse the segregation of alloying elements using mechanical loading before the metallurgical length ends. By this way, the band structures caused by the macro segregation can be fully eliminated or reduced to negligible sizes. In this project, the soft reduction parameters are tried to find out the optimum parameters to eliminate the macro segregation for API X 65 5L PSL 2 steel grade. The micro structures of steel coils produced applied soft reduction are investigated and the band thicknesses of the coils are measured. In this research; the effect of soft reduction on the mechanical properties of final product is investigated.

Effect of temperature on fatigue properties of Din 35 NiCrMoV 12 5 steel Önem, Orkun Umur; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) DIN 35NiCrMoV125 (equivalent to AISI 4340), which is a high strength low alloy steel (HSLA), is mainly used at military applications in the production of gun barrels. The main aim of this study was to determine the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour and the influence of temperature on low cycle fatigue failure properties of that steel. Three different temperatures (room temperature, 2500C and 4000C) were used in the experiments in order to analyze the effect of temperature. For each temperature, five strain ...
Effect of chromium on the oxidation of steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters Sultan, Abdelrahman Saleh; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) Low chromium steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters work in flue gas environments containing water vapor. On the other hand, the higher oxidation rates of chromium containing steels in moist atmospheres have been reported. P-5, P-22, P-11(containing 5, 2.25 and 1.25 %Cr) and C-5 steels, used in petroleum refinery construction, were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests. These steels were tested in two different environments; air and flue gas of natural gas combustion -CO2+2H2O+7.52N...
Modelling of in situ combustion for Turkish heavy crude oil fields Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) Different models were used to determine the possibility of in situ combustion applications for heavy crude oil fields in south-east Turkey. In the first approach a one-dimensional model was developed, in which the frontal advance concept is combined with mass and energy balance equations with certain boundary conditions, limitations and assumptions. The recovery histories of three oil fields were determined; the highest recovery was obtained in field 2 with dry combustion and in field 1 with wet combustion,...
A numerical simulation study on mixing of inert cushion gas with working gas in an underground gas storage reservoir Kilincer, N; Gumrah, F (2000-12-01) The cushion gas, providing the pressure energy necessary for withdrawal of working gas, makes up the largest part of the investment in underground gas storage projects. The suggested method of reducing this cost is the replacement of some part of the cushion gas with less expensive inert gas, such as nitrogen. In the replacement, there might be some problems due to mixing between natural gas and inert gas. Turkey has sharply increasing demand for natural gas. The constant imported gas and varying demand thr...
Effect of bottom stirring on basic oxygen steelmaking Bilgiç, Çağrı Doğan; Sevinç, Naci; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) ERDEMİR Steel Plant produces wide range of alloy steel for various industries. Main demand of industries for steel is high quality end product with lower prices. One of the criterion affecting not only the steel cleanliness and also price of the product is bottom stirring in basic oxygen steelmaking. The objective of this study is to investigate effects of bottom stirring on basic oxygen steelmaking. With this objective, process parameters, analysis of produced heats were investigated to determine effects o...
