Abstract: The U.S. capability and capacity to form bends from high strength pipeline steels (X-grades) has been greatly expanded in the last few years. The induction bending process offers many advantages over conventional bending processes (hot slab and cold bending). Numerous API-5LX pipeline steels, including grades X42 through X70, have been successfully bent. Complete mechanical testing, including notch toughness at temperatures from + 32F, 0F, -20F and -50F have been obtained. Through extensive developmental work on the various X-grades, it has been shown that the original mechanical properties of the pipe can be maintained, and, in some cases, enhanced.
