The difference between hot and cold seamless tube

　　Cold rolling seamless pipe

　　Cold rolled seamless pipe is a seamless steel pipe for high dimensional accuracy and good surface finish. Cold rolled seamless pipe in addition to include the general steel, low and medium pressure boiler tube, high-pressure boiler tubes, alloy steel pipe, stainless steel pipe and oil cracking tube, also includes carbon thin wall steel pipe, alloy thin wall steel tube, thin-walled stainless steel pipe and special-shaped steel tube. The diameter of cold rolled seamless steel pipe is 6mm, wall thickness is 0.25mm, while the diameter of thin-walled tube can be 5mm, wall thickness can less than 0.25mm. The dimensional accuracy of cold rolling is higher than that of hot rolling.

　　Hot rolling seamless pipe

　　Hot rolling is relative to the cold rolling. Cold rolling carries on rolling below the temperature of recrystallization, and hot rolling is above the recrystallization temperature. Hot rolled seamless steel pipe is generally divided into low, medium, high pressure boiler steel pipe, alloy steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, oil cracking pipe, geological steel pipe and other steel pipe. The outside diameter of hot rolled seamless tube is generally greater than 32mm and the wall thickness of that is 2.5-75mm.

　　Difference

　　The cold rolled seamless tube allows local buckling, which can make full use of bending bearing capacity. While, hot rolled steel does not allow local buckling.

　　The causes of residual stress are different, so the distribution of the cross section is also very different. The distribution of the residual stress on cold rolling thin wall steel is bending. However, the distribution of the residual stress on hot rolled steel is film type.

　　The free torsional rigidity of hot rolled steel is higher than that of cold rolled steel. In other words, the torsion resistance of hot rolled steel is better than that of cold rolled steel.

SMLS steel pipe for Tanzania Gas pipeline project

图片
Project location: Tanzania Product：SMLS steel pipe Specification：168.3mm*14.27mm*SDR Standard and material：API 5L X52N PSL2 Application: Gas pipeline project In the last week of September, we received a new inquiry from regular customer who stated that it would take 4 weeks for delivery, including anti-corrosion. We learned that the fast delivery is most important point for this order. Xinyue people responded the fastest. Due to this order is for X52N PSL2 G high-grade seamless pipes, the stock quantity cannot meet the quantity of the entire order. With the strong resource integration ability of Xinyue, we found the production schedule of the steel pipe factory within 3 days and quickly organized new production. The customer arranges full process supervision from end customers, contractor customers, intermediate customers, and third parties from raw materials to the factory. During the supervision process of steel pipe production, they all witness the online UT test, Hydrostatic test, ...

Treatment method of steel pipe welding slag inclusion

What is welding slag inclusion? Welded pipe slag inclusions are slag that remains inside the weld. Welding slag inclusions are generally divided into two categories: The first category is metal slag inclusions. The second category is non-metallic slag, which refers to the slag remaining in the weld after welding, including electrode coating or flux, sulfide, oxide and nitride. According to its formation, it can be divided into point-like slag inclusions, linear slag inclusions, chain-like slag inclusions and dense slag inclusions. Slag inclusions will reduce the plasticity and toughness of steel pipe welds, and slag inclusions with sharp corners will cause stress concentration at the tip, and the tip will develop into a crack source, especially in welds with a large tendency to air quenching. Under the action of stress on the steel pipe, cracks will first appear at the slag inclusions in the weld and develop along the way, resulting in a decrease in strength and cracking of the weld. T...

ERW Steel Pipe Deliver to Argentina for oil and gas pipeline

图片
Project location：Argentina Product：ERW Steel Pipe Standard and material：API 5L PSL2 46th GR.X60M Specifications： OD: 457.2mm WT: 9.52mm Lenght:12M Application：oil and gas pipeline In the steel industry, customer demands vary, but quality and delivery time are always the most critical factors. Recently, Xinyue successfully provided a high-quality ERW pipe solution for a customer, and the entire process took only half a month, perfectly demonstrating our ability to respond quickly and execute efficiently. Although the customer’s order quantity was small, the steel grade requirements for the pipes were very high, and the supplier had to be listed in the client’s approved supplier directory. Facing such strict requirements, Xinyue mobilized all available resources and actively engaged with major suppliers. Ultimately, we successfully sourced BaoSteel’s inventory, which perfectly met the steel grade and quality requirements, and ensured on-time delivery. From receiving the inquiry to finali...
