Thick-walled seamless steel pipe is a type of pipe with high strength and durability, which is widely used in various industrial fields. Its manufacturing process mainly includes the following steps:
First, select the appropriate tube blank. The quality of the tube blank directly affects the quality and performance of the thick-walled seamless steel pipe. Usually high-quality billets are selected as raw materials, and advanced smelting technology is used to ensure the purity of steel and the excellent mechanical properties.
Secondly, perforation and pipe rolling are carried out. This step is a key link in the manufacture of thick-walled seamless steel pipes. Perforation is to thread a solid billet into a hollow round tube billet through a perforating machine, and pipe rolling is to gradually roll the tube billet into a seamless steel tube of the required specification through multiple passes of rolling. During the rolling process, the wall thickness, outer diameter, length and other parameters of the steel pipe need to be precisely controlled to ensure that it meets the requirements of the standard.
The third step is to reduce the diameter and wall. After the rolling is completed, the thick-walled seamless steel pipe needs to be reduced in diameter and wall to further adjust its dimensional accuracy and wall thickness uniformity. This step usually adopts the method of tensile diameter reduction, through the alternating action of tension and compression, the diameter and wall thickness of the steel pipe are gradually reduced until the specified dimensional requirements are reached.
Finally, the thick-walled seamless steel pipe is inspected and surface treated. Quality inspection includes checking the appearance, size, wall thickness, metallographic structure, etc. of the steel pipe to ensure that its quality meets the standard requirements. The surface treatment is galvanized, painted, polished and other treatments according to the actual needs to improve the corrosion resistance and service life of the steel pipe.
Although the manufacturing process of thick-walled seamless steel pipe is relatively complex, high-quality thick-walled seamless steel pipe can be manufactured through advanced production equipment and process control technology. These steel pipes have excellent properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, and can meet the needs of various fields. In industrial production, petrochemical, aerospace, nuclear industry and other fields, thick-walled seamless steel pipes play an irreplaceable role.
In industrial production, thick-walled seamless steel pipes are widely used in fluid transportation, pressure pipelines, thermal pipelines and other fields. Due to its high strength and durability, it is able to withstand high pressures and temperatures, making it an important part of the petrochemical industry.
