Detail
316L stainless steel pipe is a long strip of steel with a hollow section and no joints around it. The thicker the wall thickness of the product is, the more economical and practical it is, and the thinner the wall thickness is, the higher its processing cost will be.
The process of this product determines its limited performance. Generally, the precision of seamless steel pipes is low: uneven wall thickness, low brightness on the inside and outside of the pipe, high cost of sizing, and there are pits and black spots on the inside and outside that are not easy to remove; its detection and Shaping must be processed offline. Therefore, it reflects its superiority in terms of high pressure, high strength, and mechanical structural materials. Manufacturing method
According to different production methods, it can be divided into hot-rolled pipe, cold-rolled pipe, cold-drawn pipe, extruded pipe, etc.
1.1. Hot-rolled stainless steel seamless pipes are generally produced on automatic rolling mills. After inspection and removal of surface defects, the solid tube blank is cut into required lengths, centered on the end face of the perforated end of the tube blank, then sent to a heating furnace for heating, and perforated on a punching machine. During the continuous rotation and advancement of the perforation at the same time, under the action of the roll and the plug, a cavity is gradually formed inside the tube blank, which is called a capillary tube. And then sent to the automatic rolling mill to continue rolling. Finally, the wall thickness of the whole machine is averaged, and the diameter is sizing by a sizing machine to meet the specification requirements. It is a relatively advanced method to produce hot-rolled seamless steel pipes with continuous pipe rolling mills.
1.2. In order to obtain seamless pipes with smaller size and better quality, cold rolling, cold drawing or a combination of the two methods must be used. Cold rolling is usually carried out on a two-roll mill, and the steel pipe is rolled in an annular pass composed of a variable-section circular hole groove and a stationary conical head. Cold drawing is usually carried out on a single-chain or double-chain cold drawing machine of 0.5 to 100T.
1.3. The extrusion method is to place the heated tube blank in a closed extrusion cylinder, and the perforated rod and the extrusion rod move together to extrude the extrusion part from the smaller die hole. This method can produce steel pipes with smaller diameters.
