Metallurgical Properties and Quality Assurance of Spiral Steel Pipe
Straight seam steel pipe is the production of steel plate, and spiral welded pipe is hot-rolled coil production. The rolling process of the hot strip mill has a series of advantages, and has the ability to obtain the metallurgical technology of producing high quality pipeline steel. For example, a water cooling system is provided on the output stage to accelerate cooling, which allows the use of low alloy components to achieve specific strength grades and low temperature toughness, thereby improving the weldability of the steel. But this system is basically not in the steel plate production plant. Coil alloy content (carbon equivalent) is often lower than similar grades of steel, which also improves the weldability of spiral welded pipe. It should be noted that, since the coil rolling direction of the spiral welded pipe is not perpendicular to the axial direction of the steel pipe, the rolling direction of the steel plate of the straight seam steel pipe is perpendicular to...
