Methods used to strengthen pipeline steels generally involve a reduction in their sulfide stress cracking (SSC) resistance. A non-quench ageing process is proposed to provide higher strength combined with more excellent SSC resistance for acicular ferrite (AF) pipeline steels, while microstructural characteristics are retained.
