I. Product Characteristics
Structural seamless steel pipe is a kind of steel widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing and other fields, with the following characteristics:
A: high strength and high toughness: structural seamless steel pipe is usually made of carbon steel or low alloy steel, with high tensile strength and yield strength, able to withstand large mechanical stress.
B: good processability: produced by hot or cold rolling process, it has good processability and is suitable for a variety of machining and welding processes.
C: high dimensional accuracy: after cold drawing or cold rolling treatment, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the steel tube is significantly improved, which can meet the requirements of precision structural components.
II. Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of seamless steel pipe for structure mainly includes the following steps:
A: raw material preparation: select carbon steel or low alloy steel billet that meets the standard, and carry out chemical composition analysis and appearance inspection.
B: Heating and piercing: after the billet is heated to 1200℃~1300℃ in the heating furnace, it is passed through the piercing machine to form a hollow pipe billet.
C: Rolling: Hot or cold rolling process is used to gradually reduce the outer diameter and wall thickness of the billet to form the required pipe size.
D: Heat treatment: improve the mechanical properties and organization of the steel pipe by annealing, normalizing or quenching process.
E: Finishing and inspection: including straightening, cutting head and tail, surface grinding and other processes, and non-destructive testing and dimensional inspection to ensure product quality.
