ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the following seamless steel pipes excellent in strength, toughness and weldability, particularly suitable for submarine flow lines, and a manufacturing method thereof. An as-quenched seamless steel pipe having a chemical composition consisting of, by mass%, C: 0.03 to 0.08%, Mn: 0.3 to 2.5%, Al: 0.001 to 0.10%, Cr: 0.02 to 1.0%, Ni: 0.02 to 1.0%, Mo: 0.02 to 0.8%, Ti: 0.004 to 0.010%, N: 0.002 to 0.008%, Ca: 0.0005 to 0.005%, and the balance Fe and impurities, with not more than 0.25% of Si, not more than 0.05% of P, not more than 0.005% of S, less than 0.005% Nb, and less than 0.0003% of B as the impurities, and having a microstructure consisting of not more than 20 volume% of polygonal ferrite, not more than 10 volume% of a mixed microstructure of martensite and retained austenite, and balance bainite. B can be 0.0003 to 0.001%. Mg and/or REM can be contained. The manufacturing method is characterized by the cooling rate during quenching.
