Abstract

In an electric resistance welded steel pipe with excellent weld toughness for a line pipe, the area fraction of minute defects each having a maximum length of less than 50 μm in a projection plane of an electric resistance welded seam is in the range of 0.000006 to 0.026, and the absorbed energy at −40° C. measured by a method for an impact test of metallic materials is 315 J or more.
