The WEPP in China, is the longest high-pressure pipeline in the world, eastern part of whose construction has been finished at the 1st Oct. 2003. Up to now, all the pipes of trunk line have been welded and buried under ground, about 740,000 metric tons of which were made by domestic pipe mills. Before this project the capacity of domestic pipe mills is pretty low: the max. O.D. is 711mm, the max. W.T. is 10.7mm, and the highest steel grade is API X60. However, the WEPP specification is very high: X70 with about 50% acicular ferrite, O.D. 1016mm, W.T. 14.6/17.5/21.0/26.2mm, and more than 190 J CVN value under −15 . This kind of pipe has never been made before in China. However, within about 2 years, Chinese mills successfully fulfilled the development and manufacturing of X70 steel coils and plates, the technical reconstruction of old production lines and installation of the new ones, the scientific research of pipe forming and high speed welding technology and test method, and the technology development of procedure and facilities for inside flow coating and outside 3PE coating. All the above will be detailed in this paper.

Actually, the increase in natural gas needs in the European market, foreseen for the beginning of the next century, compels to develop new solutions for the exploitation of gas fields in remote areas. For natural gas transportation over long distances the hypothesis of a large diameter high-pressure pipeline, up to 150 bar (doubling of the actual one) has been found economically attractive, resulting in significant reduction of the transportation cost of the hydrocarbon. In this contest the interest amongst gas companies in the possible applications of high-grade steels (up to API X100) is growing. A research program, partially financed by E.C.S.C. (European Community for Coal and Steel), by a joint co-operation among Centro Sviluppo Materiali (CSM), S.N.A.M. and Europipe in order to investigate the fracture behaviour of large diameter, API X100 grade pipes at very high pressure (up to 150 bar) has been carried out. This paper presents: the current status of technology of API X100 steel with respect to the combination of chemical composition, rolling variables and mechanical properties the results obtained from West Jefferson tests, in order to confirm the ductile-brittle transition behaviour stated from laboratory tests (DWTT), the results obtained concerning the control of long shear propagating fracture and in particular the results of a full scale crack propagation test on line operating at very high hoop stress (470 MPa). Besides, in order to investigate the defect tolerance behaviour of the pipe with respect to axial surface defect, burst tests with water as pressurising medium have been carried out and the relative results are presented and discussed.

Installation plan of diametrical pipeline within the existing circular trunk line was officially announced in 2002 as ‘Central Trunk Line’;- gas transmission of 23.1 km length linking from the Tokyo Bay side to the opposite side of the circle. Main feature of this line is that the pipes of 610mm outside diameter, 7MPa MAOP and of Grade 552 (X80) equivalent material is to be installed within a tunneling shield all along the route to avoid unnecessary negotiation with road authorities and adjacent inhabitants. The 2m diameter tunnel will be excavated 40m under ground surface in average, 60m in the deepest. The construction started last autumn and will not be completed until the year 2009. This paper refers to be design concept and outline of the narrow and long tunnelling and piping techniques utilized to reduce the construction costs.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures have excellent potential for future use in radiation hardened and high speed integrated circuits. For device fabrication in SOI material a high quality superficial Si layer above a buried oxide layer is required. Recently, Celler et al. reported that post-implantation annealing of oxygen implanted SOI at very high temperatures would eliminate virtually all defects and precipiates in the superficial Si layer. In this work we are reporting on the effect of three different post implantation annealing cycles on the structure of oxygen implanted SOI samples which were implanted under the same conditions.
