How to Produce Welded Steel Tube

  A tube is a closed shape used to perform some structural function. The shape can be round, square, rectangular or whatever can be designed and manufactured for a particular application. Round tubes differ from pipes in the way they are dimensioned. A 1 1/2-inch round tube has a 1 1/2-inch outside diameter. A 1 1/2-inch round pipe has a 1 1/2-inch inside diameter. The reason being that the outside of tubes is important for structures, however the inside of pipes is used for fluid flow.    Welded Steel Tube   Welded steel tubing is made from either hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel that is provided to the tubing manufacturer in coils. The coil may be processed to remove scale, improve finish, amend heat treatment or in other ways to achieve the specified end product. The coil is then run through grooved rollers until the shape has been formed and the free edges are correctly spaced for welding.   The edges of the tube are butt welded together, generally with electrical resistance w...

How to Produce Seamless Steel Pipe

  A tube is a closed shape used to perform some structural function. The shape can be round, square, rectangular or whatever can be designed and manufactured for a particular application. Round tubes differ from pipes in the way they are dimensioned. A 1 1/2-inch round tube has a 1 1/2-inch outside diameter. A 1 1/2-inch round pipe has a 1 1/2-inch inside diameter. The reason being that the outside of tubes is important for structures, however the inside of pipes is used for fluid flow.     Seamless Steel Tube   The manufacture of seamless steel tube typically begins in an electric arc furnace. The steel is then cast as an ingot or continuously cast as a bloom. The bloom is then rolled into a billet. The solid billet becomes a tube by being drawn over a piercing tool by two external rollers set at an angle to each other that move the billet. At this point a “rough” tube has been formed.   The rough tube is put through an elongator, in which three rollers and an internal mandrel s...

What is the difference between seamless steel tube and ERW stainless steel tube

  Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) pipe is manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length. Seamless pipe is manufactured by extruding the metal to the desired length; therefore ERW pipe have a welded joint in its cross-section, while seamless pipe does not have any joint in its cross-section through-out its length.   In Seamless pipe, there are no welding or joints and is manufactured from solid round billets. The seamless pipe is finished to dimensional and wall thickness specifications in sizes from 1/8 inch to 26 inch OD. Applicable in for High-pressure applications such as Hydrocarbon Industries & Refineries, Oil & Gas Exploration & Drilling, Oil & Gas Transportation and Air and Hydraulic cylinders, Bearings, Boilers, Automobiles   etc.   ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes are welded longitudinally, manufactured from Strip / Coil and can be manufactured upto 24” OD. ERW pipe cold formed from a ribbon of steel pulled th...

How to identify seamless or ERW stainless steel tubes

  To identify that a pipe supplied is seamless or ERW , Simply read the stencil on the side of the pipe   If it is ASTM A53, Type S means seamless.   Type F is furnace but welded,   Type E is Electrical resist welded.   Thats how. It is the easiest way to identify wether pipe is seamless or ERW.   In short, Seamless is marketed on an outdated myth that it does not have flaws but that welded has an inherent flaw throughout the length of each tube, as stated above. Intuitively this concept is easily accepted by purchasers and designers with limited experience with the various products. Each product form and manufacturing method has its own inherent problems and potential defects.

Low carbon steel tube manufacturing enterprises aging trend

  Low carbon steel pipe has a large aging tendency, which means low carbon steel pipe has both quenching aging tendency and deformation aging tendencies. When the steel from the rapid cooling of high temperature, ferrite scraping carbon, nitrogen supersaturation, the formation of iron carbon nitrogen started slowly at room temperature. Which leads to the increase of strength and hardness, and the decrease of plasticity and toughness. This penomenon known as quenching aging. Low carbon steel pipe will produce aging even if not quenched and air cooled.    Carbon steel pipe and nitrogen atoms interact with dislocations, and carbon and nitrogen atoms gather around the dislocation lines. This combination of carbon and nitrogen atoms and dislocation lines is called the Koch's air mass. It will increase the strength and hardness of steel and plasticity and toughness reduced, a phenomenon known as deformation aging.   Compared with quenching, deformation of low carbon steel pipe has a...

How to weld large diameter steel pipe at low temperature

  Under cold conditions a low-carbon steel welding, the cooling rate of the welded joint, which has made cracking tendency to increase, especially in the first weld Heavy structures susceptible to cracking, it is necessary to take the following process steps:   1) Do not possible under conditions of low temperature bending, correction and assembly weldments.   2) Preheat, 16Mn seamless steel pipe welding process strictly maintained interlayer temperature should not fall below the preheating temperature.   3) Hydrogen or ultra-low hydrogen welding.   4) The whole seam continuous welding should be completed to avoid interruption.   5) When positioning welding to increase the welding current, welding speed slows down, due to increase tack welds cross-sectional area and length, preheated if necessary.   6) Not be performed on a base material arc groove surface other than the need to fill the crater when extinction.

Corrosion resistance of welded steel tubes

  T-welded steel pipe containing Ni in the acidic environment, strong corrosion resistance in the presence of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid environment, the T-shaped welded steel pipe in the higher the content of Ni, the stronger the corrosion resistance. In the general environment, only in the T-shaped welded steel pipe to add Cr to prevent the phenomenon of erosion. The poor edge of the strip is another cause of the wrong side of the important reasons. Mass flow rate, heat flux, and structural parameters (helical curvature diameter and T / D ratio) on the saturated bubble boiling heat transfer coefficient in the vertical spiral tube were investigated.    Welded steel pipe in the production, the wrong side occurs, its impact on many factors. In the production practice, often by the wrong side of the wrong side of the steel pipe downgrade. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the cause of the spiral steel pipe misalignment and its prevention measures.   As the non-cutting ed...

What is the cause of the price change of seamless steel tube

   (1) Economic situation   From a global perspective, the demand for steel continues to grow with the development of the world economy. From a country's perspective, the development of the steel industry is also positively related to the economic development of the country. The speed of economic growth directly affects the society's consumption demand for steel, which affects the price of steel products. It can be said that the development of the steel industry is more affected by the economic cycle. When the national economy is in a period of rapid growth, the market demand for steel products is strong and prices are rising. When the national economy enters a period of adjustment, the price of steel products will also fall.    (2) Cost status   At present, 2/3 of the world steel production and most of China's steel production are produced with iron ore as the basic raw material. Therefore, the change of iron ore price is a key factor affecting the production cost of...

Residual stress in heat treatment of seamless steel tube

  In sizing rolling, seamless steel pipe diameter is compressed at the same time, the wall thickness will also change, changes in diameter and ovality of the pipe depends mainly on the amount of reduction sizing, and if appropriate adjustment of the sizing press lower volume and temperature, it can eliminate the ovality of seamless steel tubes, while maintaining a predetermined diameter, which also allows seamless improved mechanical properties. However, during the seamless steel pipe sizing, but also make the pipe residual stress, reduce its mechanical strength.   The residual stress is a common method of project. Mechanism of heat treatment to reduce the welding residual stress is a view that the yield stress of the material increases as the heating temperature decreases, the elastic modulus of the material has declined, so the temperature of the heat treatment process requirements, internal welding materials residual stress exceeds the yield strength of the material at this tempe...

Seamless steel tube hardness test

  In general, seamless steel pipe uses Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers three hardness indicators to measure the hardness.   1. Brinell hardness   In the standard of seamless steel pipe, Brinell hardness is used most, it often use indentation diameter to represent the hardness of the material, which is both intuitive and convenient. But it is not suitable for harder or thinner steel pipes.   2. Rockwell hardness   The Rockwell hardness test of seamless steel tubes is the same as the Brinell hardness test, they are both indentation test method. The difference is that Rockwell hardness measures the depth of indentation. Rockwell hardness test is a widely-used method currently, HRC is next only to after Brinell hardness HB in the steel pipe standard. Rockwell hardness can be applied to measure metal material from very soft to very hard, which makes up for the weakness of Brinell method. And it is simpler than the Brinell method, it can read out the hardness value directly from the hard...

Test Method for Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe

  Stainless steel hardness testing should take stainless steel seamless pipe’s mechanical properties into account, which relates to the stainless steel as raw material for deformation, stamping, cutting and other processing performance and quality. Therefore, all the seamless steel pipe need to be carried out mechanical performance testing. Mechanical performance testing methods are mainly divided into two categories, one is the tensile test, one is the hardness test.   The tensile test is to make the seamless steel pipe into a sample, pull the specimen to the fracture on the tensile tester, and then measure one or several mechanical properties, usually only to determine the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation at break and rate of reduction in area. Tensile test is the most basic mechanical properties of metal materials test methods, almost all of the metal material, as long as the mechanical properties are required, are provided for the tensile test. Especially those which...

Quality inspection of high frequency welded steel tube
