Stainless Steel Pipe Production Processes

Time:2016.03.10 Source: http://www.sssshangshang.com Author:
Stainless steel pipe has been widely used in our life. As a reliable and professional stainless steel pipe manufacturer, Shangshang is here telling you something about stainless steel production process.

A high-quality stainless steel pipe must be made of high-quality raw materials. Raw materials for manufacturing stainless steel pipes are sources only from approved vendors. The quality requirements for raw materials must be governed by technical parameters by quality assurance department and relevant technical specifications.

Then the cold drawing is one of the most important parts of the stainless steel pipe production process. Prime quality mother tubes are taken for drawing, they are coated with chemical and soap one by one which creates a thin layer on the surface outside and inside of the tubes. Then they are drawn with the help of tungsten carbide die and plugs to reduce diameter and thickness of the tubes.

After cold drawing, annealing is also important to the stainless steel pipes. Stainless steel seamless pipe, stainless steel welded pipe, stainless steel capillary pipes and other pipes can all be annealed. After annealing, the stainless steel pipes have bright and smooth surface, good performance and many other good properties.

Speaking of stainless steel pipe production process, we cannot miss the stress relieving. Stress relieving will significantly reduce residual stresses which otherwise cause dimensional instability or stress corrosion cracking. Usually, the temperature for stress relieving is about 425 to 925°C. After stress relieving, the stainless steel pipes can have better bending properties.

Certainly, there are many other stainless steel pipe production processes in practical use. After these production processes, the stainless steel tubes can have more advantages. The corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance can be better.

Different stainless steel pipes are used for different applications. Thus, the pipes often have different production processes. For example, the stainless steel pipes for decoration use should be annealed commonly.
