Customers for steel tubular products require ever increasing strength and toughness for their applications. To meet these demands, steel producers generally must resort to increasing the amount of alloying elements and/or applying thermomechanical-processing techniques. The present study addresses the use of a TMCP processing practice for enhancing the toughness of the steel during the production of microalloyed steel tubulars.
