  • the chemical composition of the weld metal was C: 0.07%, Si: 0.41%, Mn: 1.45%, P: 0.010%, S: 0.0030%, Cu: 0.04%, Ni: 0.12%, Cr: 0.16%, Mo: 0.24%, Nb: 0.02, Ti: 0.02%, Al: 0.02%, O: 0.045%, and a remainder of Fe and impurities.
  • an angle of the excess weld tip end portion of the weld metal portion that is, an angle between the tangential direction of the weld metal and the surface of the base material portion on both sides, and use the smaller angle as the angle of the weld toe portion.
  • a 4-point bending test piece having a width of 15 mm, a length of 115 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm was collected from an inner surface of the steel pipe so as to remain the inner surface such that the weld toe portion is disposed in a center portion of the test piece in a longitudinal direction, and the presence or absence of crack in a solution environment of pH 3.5 with various hydrogen sulfide partial pressures was examined in accordance with NACE TM 0316-2016.
  • the load stress during the 4-point bending test was 90% and 95% of the actual yield stress.
  • the hardness of the surface layer area in the welded heat-affected zone was measured.
  • the hardness was measured in the surface layer area from the center portion in the circumferential direction and the longitudinal direction of the steel pipe to a depth position of 1.0 mm or 0.9 mm from the surface.
  • a method of cutting out the test piece for the hardness test of the welded heat-affected zone is as described above.
  • the metallographic structure in the surface layer area of the welded heat-affected zone was observed, and the area ratio was also measured.
  • the metallographic structure of the surface layer area is a metallographic structure at a depth position of 0.5 mm in the wall thickness direction from the surface. The results are summarized in Table 5. [Table 5] Test No. Test No.
  • Test Nos. 2, 2', 11, and 11' were excellent in SSC resistant properties including the welded portion. On the other hand, in Test Nos. 2" and 11", SSC occurred from the weld toe portion.
  • the steel pipe according to the present invention is suitable for a steel pipe used in a highpressure hydrogen sulfide environment such as a steel pipe for excavation of petroleum or natural gas or a steel pipe for transportation.
