Abstract

JFE Steel manufactures high performance steels used for energy development, transportation, and storage applications. In this paper, high performance UOE pipes for linepipe manufactured from steel plates are introduced. Keywords for development are high-strengh, heavy wall thickness, high-deformability "HIPERTM," collapse-resistant for deep sea, sour resistance, and low-temperature toughness. At present JFE Steel is capable of providing high-end UOE pipes in numerous sizes and for a wide range of conditions.
