Common defects in welding area of spiral welded pipe

 The common defects of spiral pipes include pores, slag inclusions, incomplete penetration, incomplete fusion and cracks, etc. The Xinyue Steel will introduce the causes of these defects below.

The defects that are prone to occur in the submerged arc welding zone of the spiral welded pipe are:

1. Involvement of welding slag

Weld slag is a part of welding slag remaining in the weld metal.

2. Poor penetration

The metal overlap of the inner and outer welds is not enough, and sometimes there is no penetration. This situation is called insufficient penetration.

3. Undercut

The undercut is a V-shaped groove along the centerline of the weld, and the undercut is produced under improper conditions such as welding speed, current, and voltage. Among them, if the welding speed is too high, it is more likely to cause undercut defects than if the current is not suitable.

4. Bubbles

Most of the bubbles occur in the center of the weld bead. The main reason is that hydrogen is still hidden in the weld metal in the form of bubbles. The measure to eliminate this defect is to first remove the rust, oil, moisture and moisture of the welding wire and weld. , secondly, the flux must be dried well to remove moisture.

5. Sulfur cracking

Sulfur cracking is a crack caused by sulfur. When welding a plate with a strong sulfur segregation zone, the sulfide in the sulfur segregation zone enters the weld metal. The reason is that the sulfur segregation zone contains iron sulfide and steel with a low melting point. hydrogen gas is present.

6. Hot crack

In the submerged arc welding of spiral tubes, thermal cracks can be generated in the weld bead. In order to eliminate such cracks, backing plates are usually installed at the arc starting and extinguishing points, and at the end of the coil butt welding, the spiral steel tube can be reversed and the Welding into stitch welding. Hot cracks are most likely to occur when the weld stress is high, or when the temperature in the weld metal is high.

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...
