Abstract
A steel pipe for line pipe has a composition of, in mass %: C: 0.02 to 0.11%; Si: 0.05 to 1.0%; Mn: 0.30 to 2.5%; P: up to 0.030%; S: up to 0.006%; Cr: 0.05 to 0.36%; Mo: 0.02 to 0.33%; V: 0.02 to 0.20%; Ti: 0.001 to 0.010%; Al: 0.001 to 0.100%; N: up to 0.008%; Ca: 0.0005 to 0.0040%; and other elements and satisfies Cr+Mo+V≤0.40, the chemical symbols in the equation substituted by the content of the corresponding element in mass %. The pipe contains tempered martensite and/or tempered bainite and further contains ferrite in at least one of a portion between a steel pipe outer surface and a depth of 1 mm from the outer surface, and a portion between a steel pipe inner surface and a depth of 1 mm from the inner surface.
