I. Structural Seamless Steel Pipe features:
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:
Seamless steel pipe for structure 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, and can meet the requirements of precision structural components.
The manufacture of structural seamless steel pipe mainly includes the following steps:
A: raw material preparation:
First, select a carbon steel or low alloy steel billet that meets the standard. Then, conduct a chemical composition analysis and perform an appearance inspection.
B: Heating and piercing:
After the billet is heated to 1200℃~1300℃ in a heating furnace, it is passed through a piercing machine to form a hollow billet.
C: Rolling:
Hot or cold rolling process is adopted 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 organisational structure of the steel pipe by annealing, normalising or quenching processes.
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.
