Considered are the cases of failure of main gas pipelines, including after long-term operation, caused by presence of crack-like defects in the welded joints of pipes which were formed at their manufacture. Analysis of main reasons of appearance of such defects in weld metal and heat-affected zone is provided considering the peculiarities of technological processes of manufacture and welding of pipes. It is shown that cracks can have different orientation and origin, being formed immediately in the process of welding or at later stages of manufacture during performance of adjacent operations, for example, pipe expanding. Their formation is caused by series of technological reasons, for example, movement of welded edges of pipe in process of assembly, incorrect selection of consumables (welding wire, flux), local change of weld metal chemical composition or its structural inhomogeniety due to entering of exogenous particles in weld, increased flux humidity etc. Measures for prevention of appearance of crack-like defects in welded joints of pipes are described. Research results can be used in tube-welding production for improvement of welding technology and control of tubular products, as well as inspection of pipelines in process of their operation.
