Summary:The microstructure and creep behaviour of the welded joints of P92 steel pipe were investigated in order to determine the influence of orbital heat welding technology on the creep resistance. Creep specimens were machined from the welded joints. Tensile creep tests of welded joints were performed at 873 K using different stresses. The microstructure of tested specimens was investigated by scanning electron microscope Tescan equipped with an electron-back scatter diffraction. The creep results showed that the creep fracture strain of the welded joints decreases with decreasing value of applied stress. Microstructure investigation showed that fracture behaviour of welded joints is influenced by an enhanced cavity formation at grain boundaries in the heat-affected zone causing lower fracture ductility.
