Surface treatment of stainless steel tube

  Generally, in terms of the surface treatment for stainless steel pipes , manufacturers have three methods, blenching treatment, polishing treatment and coloring treatment. However, it’s unavoidable to have some problems during the surface treatment, mainly are the following problems.   1. Defects of welding crevice. When the defects are serious, usually can apply the mechanical polishing process to deal it, however, this method may cause grinding marks and result in the uneven surface and influence the appearance of pipes.   2. Uneven surface. If only give pickling passivation to welding crevice, it will also cause the uneven surface and affect the appearance of pipes.   3. Uneven polishing. For the lager object, carrying pickling passivation after manual polishing is also difficult to reach the even surface and the processing is time and cost consuming.   4. Limited capacity of acid washing. The pickling passivation is not a panacea for all kind of surface treatment. It’s al...

Hardness test method for seamless steel tube

  Mechanical properties of seamless steel should be taken into consideration when testing its hardness which related to the quality and performance after deformation, stamping, cutting and other processing. Thus, all seamless steel pipes need mechanical property test, the test has two types: tensile test and hardness test.   Tensile test is use a seamless steel pipe sample, and then pull the sample on the machine till it’s broken, therefore can test its tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. The tensile test is the most common method to test the mechanical property of metal material. As long as the mechanical property is required, all metal material need to have tensile test. Particularly for those metal materials have complicated shapes that are not easy to be tested, the tensile test is the only way to test its mechanical property.   Hardness test is use a indenter and pressed it into the surface of sample pipes slowly, then measure the depth or dimension of the inden...

The difference of bearing capacity of spiral welded steel pipe

  The bearing capacity of spiral welded steel pipe is related to two points. One point is the mechanical properties of steel, which is related to the commonly stated yield point, tensile strength, elongation and impact toughness. The other point is related to the geometrical characteristics of its section. Generally, a circular spiral welded steel pipe has the strongest resistance to local buckling, and thus it is the best member to withstand radial internal pressure and radial external pressure.   Under the same steel number, equal area and the same supporting conditions, the rectangular slanted steel pipe has strong eccentric compression bearing capacity, and the circular and square steel tubes have the strongest compressive bearing capacity, but the square and rectangular straight seam steel pipes are subject to the ability of the nip to resist local buckling is not as good as that of a circular steel tube. Compared with spiral welded steel pipe, the seamless steel pipe has compli...

Ways to Distinguishing Fake Seamless Steel Pipes

   Seamless steel pipes are widely used in various fields, but how to distinguish their quality? Here we will introduce you some way to distinguish.   1. Fake seamless steel pipes are easily to have puckers. Puckers referring to all folding lines on the surface of pipes, and the defects are usually longitudinally throughout the entire product. The primary reason for puckers is that manufactures are blindly pursued for high efficiency via wrong technique that cause ear and produce folds in next procedure. The folded pipes are easily to crack and the strength is also greatly decreased.   2.The fake pipes generally have pitting surface. Grooves with serious abrasion were the major reason for irregular and uneven defects on pipes' surface. Some manufactures just focusing on profits and often make excessive the groove rolling.   3. The surface of fake pipes is easily tended to produce scars. There are two reasons for scars. Firstly, the fake pipes were made of uneven material wit...

Difficulties and control measures in steel pipe production

Five Factors to Consider before Choosing a Carbon Steel Grade

   Carbon steel is a metal alloy, with the carbon content of 0.05% to about 2.0%, and has trace amounts of other elements like manganese, silicon and copper in negligible quantity. With the industries adapting to perfectly balance metal combination to suit their needs, carbon steel finds prominence in many applications.   Here are five factors to consider before choosing a carbon steel grade.   1. Machined Carbon Steel: Certain grades of lower carbon steel like C1010 and C1018 possess good machining ability. Carbon steel like C1141 and C1144 have a higher amount of carbon due to their additional sulfur content which can be machined very easily. Thus, it is very important to look into the carbon steel grade which is machined.   2. Welded Carbon Steel: Various types of carbon possess excellent welding ability. Certain carbon grades, like C1141 and C1144, cannot be welded, due to their additional sulfur content. The content causes weld solidification, which may result in cracking. ...

Different medium transport has different seamless steel pipe

The difference between socket welding and butt welding

  Socket Weld (SW) fittings are defined in the ASME B16.11. As with socket weld, a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of the fitting. Both the pipe and the fitting are square cut, with no need for beveled end or preparation other than cleaning the outside, which allows easy welding and installation. Butt weld (BW) fittings are defined in the ASME B16.9. They are welded at their ends to pipe end, with the same thickness as pipes. The end of butt weld fittings shall be beveled.    Application   Socket weld (the fillet weld) resists around 1/2 the strength of butt welding. So it is mainly used for small pipeline (Small Bore Piping) with diameters NPS 2 or smaller.   Butt weld keeps better strength, good for high pressure or high temperature pipelines. So it is used when a welded joint with strength not lower than that of the base metal itself is needed.    Feature   Socket weld is easy to install. But it requires approx. 1/16″ of gap at the bottom of the pipe to socket into, ...

Application of ASTM A179 cold drawn seamless tube

  ASTM A179 cold drawn seamless steel pipe is mainly used in the metal structure equipment of various industries. It is mainly to soak the rust of steel parts into the molten zinc solution of 440 to 460 degrees C, so that the zinc coating on the surface of the steel plate is attached to the surface of the steel, thus the purpose of anticorrosion is to be played. This is an effective way of metal corrosion. The main features are as follows:   (1) the ASTM A179 cold drawn seamless steel pipe manufacturer covers the compact and compact zinc layer on the surface of the cold drawn seamless steel tube. It can avoid the cold drawn seamless steel tube matrix and any contact with the corrosion solution to protect the steel matrix from corrosion. In the general atmosphere, the surface of the zinc layer forms a thin and dense Zinc Oxide surface, which is hard to dissolve in water, so the steel matrix plays a protective role. If Zinc Oxide and other components in the atmosphere produce insolubl...
