ABSTRACT With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for natural gas is becoming higher and higher and the total length of the pipeline increases year by rear. The technology of in-service welding is indispensable for repairing the damaged pipeline and modification of gas pipeline. It is very dangerous to welding on the pipeline transporting flammable hazardous materials, such as natural gas and oil. So the microstructure and mechanical properties of heat affected zone (HAZ) for in-service welding on high pressure natural gas pipeline was examined using an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and physical simulation technology. The results indicate that, in the single thermal cycles, the microstructure of coarse grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) of API 5L X65 pipeline steel is composed of lath martensite (LM) and acicular ferrite (AF), when the cooling rate is fast. A lot of retained austenite films and punctate or short rod M-A components forms between the lath of LM and AF in CGHAZ. So CGHAZ has a high hardness with good impact toughness. Fine grained heat affected zone (FGHAZ) has a hybrid organization of quasi-polygonal ferrite (QF) and AF. The average grain size of FGHAZ is very small and the content of M-A component is seldom, which make FGHAZ has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties. The microstructure of intercritical heat affected zone (ICHAZ) is composed of QF with uneven size and lots of M-A component, distributed along the grain boundary. So that the toughness of ICHAZ is poor, while the hardness is lower. As the cooling rate is reduced, the microstructure type of each sub-region of HAZ basically unchanged, but the hardness is reduced. The impact toughness of CGHAZ and ICHAZ improved with the reducing of the cooling rate, and the impact toughness of ICHAZ is still the worst sub-region. In the secondary thermal cycle, the microstructure of surpass critical coarse grained h
