Carbon seamless steel pipe is a kind of welded pipe made of a whole piece of steel through piercing, hot rolling or cold drawing, which is widely used in petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, boiler, construction and machinery manufacturing. Because of its seamless structure, it has higher strength, pressure resistance and good corrosion resistance.
Main Characteristics of Carbon Seamless Steel Pipe
High strength and high pressure resistance: because there are no welding points, the structural integrity of carbon seamless steel pipe is stronger and it can bear higher pressure and mechanical load.
Excellent corrosion resistance: the surface can be treated with anti-corrosion treatment, such as zinc plating and coating, to improve corrosion resistance.
Good processability: cold drawing, hot rolling, quenching and tempering can be carried out according to requirements to adapt to different application scenarios.
Uniform wall thickness: precise control technology is adopted in the production process to make the wall thickness uniform and ensure the stability of fluid transportation.
Excellent high temperature resistance: suitable for high temperature and high pressure environment, such as boilers and heat exchangers.
Production Technology of Carbon Seamless Steel Pipe
The production process of carbon seamless steel pipe mainly includes the following steps:
Raw material preparation: select high-quality carbon steel blank.
Perforation: Punching holes in the billet by a piercer to form a hollow tube.
Hot rolling: through high temperature rolling, the plasticity and toughness of pipes are improved.
Cold drawing: further processing at lower temperature to improve dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
Heat treatment: annealing, normalizing and quenching are carried out according to different uses to optimize mechanical properties.
Size finishing: including sizing, straightening, cutting and other processes to make it meet the specifications required by customers.
Surface treatment: antirust oil coating, phosphating treatment or zinc plating can be carried out to improve corrosion resistance.
Main Application Fields of Carbon Seamless Steel Pipe
Oil and natural gas: used to transport high-temperature and high-pressure media, such as oil well pipes and pipelines.
Boiler and heat exchanger: suitable for high temperature steam and heat energy transfer.
Machinery manufacturing: used to manufacture parts of automobiles and construction machinery, such as transmission shafts and bearing sleeves.
Building structure: used for supporting high-rise buildings, bridges and large steel structures.
Liquid transportation: such as water pipelines and chemical liquid pipelines.
Carbon seamless steel pipe plays an important role in various industries with its superior strength, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. With the progress of technology and the growth of demand, it has a broad market prospect and will continue to play a key role in the industrial and engineering fields.
