Welding method of galvanized steel pipe
Galvanized pipe has the dual advantages of corrosion resistance and long service life, and the price is corresponding to that of carbon steel seamless pipe or welded pipe, which is relatively cheap and has an increasing usage rate. However, some users do not pay attention when welding galvanized pipes, resulting in steel pipe defects. So what issues should we pay attention to when welding galvanized pipes? 1. The premise is to polish The galvanized layer at the welding joint must be polished off, otherwise bubbles, trachoma, false welding, etc. will occur. It will also make the weld brittle and reduce its rigidity. 2. Characteristics of galvanized steel pipes Galvanized steel is generally coated with a layer of zinc on the outside of low carbon steel, and the zinc layer is generally 20um thick. The melting point of zinc is 419°C and the boiling point is around 908°C. During welding, zinc melts into a liquid and floats on the surface of the molten pool or at the root of the weld. Zinc h...
