The concept of a thin-walled
spiral steel tube: the strip steel is fed into the welded pipe unit, rolled by multiple rollers, and the strip is gradually rolled up to form a circular tube blank with an opening gap, and the reduced amount of extrusion roller is adjusted to make the welding seam gap. Control it at 1~3mm, and make both ends of the welding port flush.
1. If the gap is too large, the proximity effect will be reduced, the eddy current heat will be insufficient, and the intergranular bonding of the weld will be poor, resulting in unfused or cracked.
2. If the gap is too small, the proximity effect will increase, the welding heat will be too large, and the welding seam will be burned; or the welding seam will form a deep pit after extrusion and rolling, which will affect the surface quality of the welding seam.
After the two edges of the tube blank are heated to the welding temperature, under the extrusion of the extrusion roller, the common metal grains are formed to penetrate and crystallize each other, and finally, a firm weld is formed. If the extrusion force of the
spiral steel pipe is too small, the number of common crystals formed will be small, the strength of the weld metal will decrease, and cracks will occur after being stressed; if the extrusion force is too large, the molten metal will be squeezed out of the weld seam. It not only reduces the strength of the weld, but also produces a large number of internal and external burrs, and even causes defects such as welding laps.
Application of thin-walled
spiral steel pipe: National standard
spiral steel pipe is mainly used in tap water engineering, petrochemical industry, chemical industry, electric power industry, agricultural irrigation, and urban construction, and is one of the 20 key products developed in my country. For liquid transportation: water supply, drainage. For gas transportation: gas, steam, liquefied petroleum gas. For structure: for piling pipe, for bridge; for wharf, road, building structure, etc.
Thick-walled
spiral steel pipe concept: refers to the
spiral steel pipe whose wall thickness is slightly thicker than that of ordinary
spiral steel pipe. Compared with ordinary wall thickness
spiral steel pipes, the advantages are high compressive strength, high impact strength, high safety performance, and longer service life. There are 5037, 9711, and API for implementation standards.
Thick-walled spiral steel pipe forming process:
1. Before the
spiral steel pipe is formed: the
spiral steel pipe adopts the advanced double-sided submerged arc welding production process, which can be welded at the position, and it is not easy to have defects such as misalignment, welding deviation, and incomplete penetration, and it is easy to control the welding quality and position. The
spiral steel pipe adopts a special welding process, which can be welded at the welding position without any errors and defects, which can ensure the qualification of the
spiral steel pipe and the quality is well guaranteed.
2. During the forming of the
spiral steel pipe: During the forming process of the
spiral steel pipe, the steel plate should be uniformly deformed, the residual stress should be small, and the surface should not be scratched. The processed
spiral steel pipe has greater flexibility in the size and specification range of diameter and wall thickness, especially in the production of high-grade steel-grade thick-walled pipes, especially small and medium-diameter thick-walled pipes. Users have more requirements on the specifications of the
spiral steel pipe. The diameter and size specification range of the spiral steel pipe should be flexibly grasped, and the extensive needs of more users should be used to make use of its advantages so that the
spiral steel pipe can be popularized and promoted.
The development direction of thick-walled
spiral steel pipe:
With the development of industry, higher requirements are put forward for the use of
spiral steel pipes in engineering. The reason for the emergence of thick-walled
spiral steel pipes is that the pressure generated by some of the media to be transported cannot be tolerated by ordinary
spiral steel pipes. Straight seam steel pipe or seamless steel pipe will greatly increase the cost of the project. If it is a dangerous medium, we will inevitably increase the cost. Therefore, when selecting the pipeline, it is based on the medium and the pressure generated by the medium to be transported by the project decided.
