This work shows a study of the weldability of API 5L X-80 steel using the Tekken Test and the Implant Test. The research analises the weldability of HSLA X-80 steel for orbital circunferencial welding with the Shielded Metal Arc Weld and the Flux Core Arc Weld processes with regard to hydrogen induced cracking formation. The aim is to make feasible different options of welding process for the steel at issue. For the Tekken Test two pairs of plates were welded by SMAW process using E8010-G consumable and two more pairs by FCAW- G process using E101-T1-GM-H8. The Implant Test used three base plates and ten implants, being four implants welded by SMAW process and with E8010-G consumable and six by FCAW-G process with E101T1-GM-H8 consumable. All the implants have 6 mm of diameter. For all tests the preheating temperature was 100°C. The diffusible hydrogen content deposited by both consumables was measured by the Gas Chromatography Method. After the tests all the samples were examined without and with attack by means of optical microscope and SEM to allow hydrogen induced cracking in the HAZ and in the weld metal (for Tekken Test) to be viewed and measured. By means of this procedure it was possible to observe that all samples showed transgranular cracking with length of 17,68 um, too small and unlikely to the be bad to the steel. It allows saying that X-80 steel can be welded using the consumables tested, without a risk of damage of the material.
