METHOD FOR WELDING COLD-ROLLED NARROW STRIPS IN THE FORM OF FLAT WIRE OR PROFILES OF A TWIP STEEL AND A WELDED COLD-ROLLED NARROW STRIP OF A TWIP STEEL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for welding cold-rolled narrow strips (5) in the form of flat wire or profiles of a TWIP steel, in particular for use in flexible pipes (1), in particular in flexible pipes (1) for offshore applications, in which the ends (7) of the portions of the narrow strip (5) that are to be welded are formed as bevelled in relation to the main direction of loading (8) of the narrow strip (5) and are arranged so as to match one another, and the weld seam (9) is created by a fusion welding method with a relatively small melting zone and/or a relatively low welding temperature. Likewise proposed is a cold-rolled narrow strip (5) in the form of flat wire or profiles of a TWIP steel, in particular for use in flexible pipes (1), in particular in flexible pipes (1) for offshore applications, in which the narrow strips (5) to be welded have ends (7) that are respectively made to match one another and are formed as bevelled in relation to the main direction of loading (8) of the narrow strip (5).
