Annealing process and application of seamless steel tube

 　　Annealing process of seamless steel pipe:

　　The seamless steel pipe is heated to a certain temperature, kept for a certain period of time, and then slowly cooled to room temperature.

　　Purpose of annealing:

　　a. Reduce hardness and improve plasticity to facilitate cutting and cold deformation processing;

　　b. Refine the grain, uniform the structure of the steel, improve the performance of the steel and prepare for the subsequent heat treatment;

　　c. Eliminate internal stress of steel and prevent deformation and cracking of parts after processing.

　　Annealing category of seamless steel pipe:

　　1. Fully annealed

　　Process: Heat the steel parts to the critical temperature (the critical temperature of different steels is different, generally 710~750°C, and the critical temperature of individual alloy steels can reach 800~900°C) 30~50°C, keep it for a certain period of time, and then slowly cool down with the furnace (Or bury it in sand to cool down).

　　Purpose: Refine grain, uniform structure, reduce hardness, and fully eliminate internal stress. Complete annealing is suitable for forgings or steel castings with carbon content (mass fraction) below 0.8%.

　　2. Spheroidizing annealing

　　Process: The steel parts are heated to 20-30°C above the critical temperature, and after heat preservation, they are slowly cooled to below 500°C and then air-cooled out of the furnace.

　　Purpose: Reduce hardness, improve cutting performance, and prepare for subsequent quenching to reduce deformation and cracking after quenching. Spheroidizing annealing is suitable for carbon steel and alloy tool steel with carbon content (mass fraction) greater than 0.8%.

　　3. Stress relief annealing

　　Process: Heat the steel to 500~650°C, keep it warm for a certain period of time, and then slowly cool down (usually cooling with the furnace)

　　Purpose: Eliminate internal stress generated during welding and cold straightening of steel parts, eliminate internal stress generated during cutting of precision parts, to prevent deformation during subsequent processing and use. Stress relief annealing is suitable for all kinds of castings, forgings, welded parts and cold extruded parts.

The main reason for the porosity of submerged arc welding seam

 Submerged arc welding technology is the welding process of SSAW steel pipe and LSAW steel pipe. During the welding process, in addition to insufficient penetration, burn-through and poor formation caused by improper welding process parameters, there will also be pores, slag inclusions, cracks, etc. Defects. This article mainly introduces the main reasons and preventive measures for porosity in submerged arc welding seams. (1) In the process of steel rolling or hot stamping and coiling, the oxide scale formed or fallen off, as well as the positioning welding slag shell, the carbon arc gas created flying slag, etc., are trapped in the flux, which will also cause pores in the weld. Preventive measures: ①The oxide skin that falls off during the process of coiling and bending should be cleaned or blown off with compressed air before assembly and welding to prevent it from being caught in the assembly gap or falling into the groove. ②The surrounding of the welding site should be clean t...

Standard for Choosing Oil Casing Pipe Manufacturers

 　　There are many standards for selecting oil casing manufacturers, which can be divided into short-term standards and long-term standards according to the length of time. The short-term standards for selecting oil casing manufacturers mainly include product quality, price level, timely delivery and overall service level. 　　1. Product quality 　　The quality of the purchased oil casing meets the requirements of the purchasing unit is a condition that the purchasing unit must consider when purchasing the oil casing. Poor quality and low price casing products have lower procurement costs, but will lead to an increase in the total cost, but if the quality is too high, it will far exceed the production requirements, which is also a waste. Therefore, the quality requirements of the oil casing in the procurement The production needs of the enterprise must be consistent, and the requirements are too high or too low are not appropriate. 　　2. Lower cost 　　A lower purchase price is an importan...

How to distinguish between ERW steel tube and seamless steel tube?

　　Today, Great Steel Pipe will tell you how to distinguish the ERW steel pipe and seamless steel pipe. 　　 ERW Steel Pipe 　　ERW is a specific type of welding process that is used to produce welded steel pipe, such as ERW steel pipe. Seam welding is commonly used during the manufacturing of round, square and rectangular steel tubing. The steel strip is unwound from coils and side-trimmed to control width and condition the edges for welding. The strip then passes through a series of contoured rollers which cold-form the material into a circular (square or rectangular) shape. The edges are forced together under pressure as a butt joint and then welded by heating the material to temperatures above 2000° F. The flash weld that has formed is now removed from the outside diameter of the tube. Once the weld has been tested the tube then passes through a series of sizing rolls to attain its precise finished size, after which the tube is then straightened and cut to length. 　 　Seamless Ste...
