What should be paid attention to in the processing of stainless steel welded pipe?

 What are the processing methods of stainless steel welded pipe? What should be paid attention to in processing?

Cold drawing deep processing: it is easy to generate friction heat, so the stainless steel pipe with high pressure resistance and heat resistance shall be formed at the same time. After processing, the oil attached to the surface shall be removed.

Welding: rust, oil, moisture, paint, etc. harmful to welding shall be completely removed before welding, and electrodes suitable for steel grade shall be selected. The spot welding time interval is shorter than that of carbon steel. Stainless steel pipe brush shall be used when removing welding slag. After welding, in order to prevent local corrosion or strength reduction, the surface shall be ground or cleaned.

Cutting and stamping: as the strength of stainless steel welded pipe is higher than that of ordinary materials, higher pressure is required for stamping and shearing, and poor shear and work hardening can not occur when the gap between knives is accurate. Plasma or laser cutting is better. When gas cutting or arc cutting has to be used, grinding and necessary heat treatment shall be carried out for the heat affected zone.

Bending processing: the thin plate can be bent to 180, but in order to reduce the cracks on the bending surface, it is necessary to give a radius of 2 times the plate thickness when the thick plate is bent along the rolling direction and 4 times the plate thickness when bending perpendicular to the rolling direction. Especially during welding, in order to prevent processing cracking, the surface of the welding area shall be ground.

Stainless steel welded pipe construction and construction precautions

Attention shall be paid to prevent highly corrosive magnetic and stone luxury cleaning drugs from contacting the surface of stainless steel pipe. If they contact, they shall be washed immediately. After construction, neutral detergent and water shall be used to wash the cement, powder ash and other substances attached to the surface.

Achievements made by the steel industry in the past five years

 In the report, Gao Xiangming summarized the achievements made by the steel industry in the past five years, mainly including six aspects:

First, the success of de-capacity and the industry maintained a steady and stable operation. With the deepening of the work to resolve the excess steel production capacity, the steel production needs to be rebalanced, the industry is basically stable, and the economic efficiency of the company has rebounded significantly, reaching the best level in history in 2018. The results of China's steel production reduction not only benefited Chinese steel enterprises, but also effectively promoted the recovery of the world steel industry. Specifically, first, steel production has maintained a sustained high growth. Secondly, the total volume of iron and steel exports has dropped and the structure has been optimized. Third, steel prices rebounded and stabilized. Fourth, industry profits have picked up and the asset-liability ratio has fallen.

The second is to promote ultra-low emission transformation, and the level of green development of the industry has been greatly improved. Gao Xiangming said that in recent years, under the pressure of the world's most stringent environmental protection standards, the majority of iron and steel enterprises have actively carried out multi-pollutants from flue gas around five key processes including coking, sintering (pellet), ironmaking, steelmaking, and rolling. Research on ultra-low emission technology and high-temperature flue gas circulating purification technology. Shougang, Baowu, Angang, Hegang, TISCO, Delong, Zhongtian and other iron and steel companies have vigorously promoted ultra-low emission transformation and took the lead in achieving breakthroughs. . At the same time, equipment upgrades have been implemented through reductions and replacements. A number of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies and indicators have reached world advanced levels.

Third, breakthroughs were made in mergers and reorganizations, and the industrial organization structure was further optimized. Gao Xiangming pointed out that in recent years, substantial progress has been made in the merger and reorganization of the steel industry. The reorganization of Baowu has created China's world-class "steel aircraft carrier"; the restructured Jianlong Group has expanded its scale, optimized its layout, further enhanced its competitiveness and industry status. Delong Group reorganized Bohai Iron and Steel through judicial reorganization, with a combined capacity of 30 million tons, and entered the industry's first echelon in one fell swoop. CITIC Special Steel reorganized and built the world's largest specialized special steel leading enterprise group. Shagang successfully restructured Northeast Special Steel to seize the commanding heights of technology, and General Steel became "special". These classic cases with the nature of "breaking the situation" have played an active role of demonstration for "mixed reform" across regions and ownership.

Fourth, the steel industry has vigorously promoted technological innovation, and the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry has increased. Gao Xiangming said that in the past five years, the steel industry has implemented the innovation-driven development strategy around the overall situation of national economic development, which has effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry and the enhancement of competitiveness. Specifically, the first is the continuous increase in scientific research investment and the significant improvement in scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Second, the supporting role of steel materials has been significantly enhanced. The third is the rapid development of intelligent steel manufacturing. Fourth, the role of standard innovation was further developed.

Fifth, "going global" has blossomed, and the level of internationalization has increased. In recent years, with the advancement of the "Belt and Road" construction and the release of the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting International Capacity and Equipment Manufacturing Cooperation", iron and steel enterprises have taken a solid step in "going global", and a number of important overseas steel production bases have emerged project. In order to coordinate the industry's foreign investment cooperation, in March 2017, with the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, the "China Iron and Steel International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance" was officially established, and the international capacity cooperation of steel has entered a new stage, and the internationalization level of the steel industry has significantly increased.

Six is the high-quality development of human resources in the industry. In the past 5 years, with the in-depth advancement of supply-side structural reforms, human resources work in the steel industry has achieved remarkable results, and high-quality development characteristics have emerged: first, the labor efficiency has been greatly improved; second, the personnel structure has been significantly optimized; third, the human capital competitiveness has been significantly improved Promotion.

Gao Xiangming also summarized the main work carried out by the fifth council and association in the report: first, to unify understanding, strengthen self-discipline, and maintain the smooth operation of the industry; second, to cooperate with government departments to promote supply-side structural reforms and strive to consolidate the results of de-capacity The third is to continue to promote benchmarking, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and deleveraging. The fourth is to actively participate in the formulation of policies, regulations and plans, reflect the needs of enterprises, and lead the industry out of difficulties. Fifth, strengthen external publicity and communication to improve the image of China's steel industry.

Gao Xiangming said that the focus of the steel industry in 2020 should be on the following seven areas: first, unify thinking, guide expectations, and maintain the smooth operation of the industry; second, consolidate the results of structural reforms on the supply side and prohibit new capacity; Promote differentiated environmental protection and limited production and “peak-peak production” and accelerate the transformation of ultra-low emissions; the fourth is to actively promote the merger and reorganization of enterprises and increase the concentration of the industry; the fifth is to vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation; the sixth is to establish and implement a strategy for the protection of steel raw materials; To comprehensively strengthen party building.

Weathering steel long piles successfully shipped from Xinyue

 In early October 2019, Xinyue received a special long pile inquiry from a South American customer for the purpose of cable car piling. The special point is the material. This inquiry requires that the material steel grade is ASTM A588 Gr.A, which is a weathering steel. Compared with the ordinary long pile material ASTM A252 Gr3, the chemical composition is very different. A variety of alloy elements are added. The production capacity of steel mills has high requirements, because the mechanical properties of steel materials will change after the addition of alloying elements, and steel mills need to have the ability to control. There are only a handful of steel mills in the country that can meet this requirement. Xinyue has always ranked first in quality control. At the end of 2017s, Xinyue had experience in shipping this type of project. Through data certification and material list display, customers expressed their recognition in terms of quality.

After more than a month of negotiations, Xinyue successfully won this project among many competitors in various countries. From the raw materials to the factory, the customer sent a professional TUV inspector to carry out full-scale sample inspection to prove that the mechanical properties of the chemical components are all qualified before production can begin. Xinyue cooperated with the various requirements of the inspectors and successfully started production through experiments.

During the production process, TUV inspectors accompanied the whole process and witnessed various experiments such as non-destructive testing and water pressure. After one to two weeks of production, all the pipes were completed. The customer flew to Tianjin for the final inspection. After the inspection, they were very satisfied with the quality. All the pipes finally caught up with the last ship before the Spring Festival holiday.

Why stainless steel also rusts?

 1. Many people think that stainless steel pipes will not rust, which is a wrong one-sided view. First of all, stainless steel pipe rust resistance and corrosion resistance are conditional. Stainless steel pipes are steel pipes that do not rust in weak corrosive environments such as atmosphere and fresh water, and the chromium content in the steel must be ≥12%. If the chromium content is low or it is not used in weak corrosive environment such as atmosphere (including Cl – local rich concentration in weak corrosive environment such as atmosphere), rust will occur. Acid resistant steel pipe is a kind of steel pipe that can resist corrosion in strong corrosive media such as acid, alkali and salt, but it can only resist corrosion under certain conditions, such as medium type, temperature, concentration, impurity content, flow rate and pressure. There is no stainless steel pipe that does not rust and is corrosion-resistant under any conditions in the world.

2. Dust containing other metal elements or attachments of dissimilar metal particles are stored on the surface of stainless steel. In humid air, the condensate between the attachments and stainless steel connects them into a micro battery, which leads to electrochemical reaction and damage to the protective film, which is called electrochemical corrosion.

3. The surface of stainless steel adheres to the juice of agricultural production system (such as melons and vegetables, noodles, soup, phlegm, etc.), which constitutes the acid of agricultural production system in the case of water and oxygen, and forms the corrosion of agricultural production system acid on the metal surface for a long time.

4. The adhesion of stainless steel surface contains acid, alkali and salt substances (such as alkali water and lime water spray measurement of decoration wall), causing local corrosio

5. In polluted air (atmosphere containing a large amount of sulfide, oxide and hydrogen oxide), nitric acid and acetic acid liquid points are formed in the presence of condensate, causing chemical corrosion.
