The specimens were analyzed by macroscopy, light microscopy (LM) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) to investigate the effects of cooling conditions on the tensile test and Vickers hardness. A thermo-mechanical simulator showed be able to reproduce the different thermodynamics conditions of points in the HAZ and allowed the reproduction of the thermal cycle obtained by welds were applied to the specimens of API 5l X80 steel. The values of the yield strength, ultimate strength and hardness found in the specimens were lower than those presented by the material as received.649-653openAccesssimulationcoolingsteelsweldingheat affected zonescanning electron microscopyvickers hardnessoptical microscopyArtigo de periódico86910.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.869.649https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1304-2117
