Spiral steel pipe is a commonly used pipe, widely used in oil, natural gas, water conservancy, construction, and other fields. The production process of spiral steel pipe is also relatively complicated, and it needs to go through multiple processes to complete. Its production process mainly includes the following steps:
1. Material preparation: The main raw material of the spiral steel pipe is steel plate, which needs to be pre-treated by cutting, straightening, and welding to ensure its quality meets the requirements.
2. Roll forming: put the pretreated steel plate into the plate rolling machine, and make it into a long and thin steel strip through continuous rotation and curling. This process needs to control the speed and strength of the plate rolling machine to ensure that the thickness and strength of the steel strip are uniform.
3. Welding: The coiled steel strip is welded into a long tube along the spiral direction. This process requires the use of high-frequency current or arc welding technology to weld the two ends of the steel strip together, and heat treatment at the weld to ensure the quality and strength of the weld.
4. Cold rolling: the welded long pipe is processed by a cold rolling machine to make it a flat spiral steel pipe. This process needs to control the speed and strength of the cold rolling machine to ensure that the diameter and wall thickness of the steel pipe is uniform.
5. Finishing: Finishing the welded steel pipe, including cutting, grinding, polishing, etc., to ensure that its surface is smooth, burr-free, and crack-free.
6. Coating: Coating is applied to the finished steel pipe to prevent it from being corroded and oxidizing.
7. Inspection and packaging: Quality inspection is carried out on the produced spiral steel pipes, including appearance, size, chemical composition, and physical properties. Qualified steel pipes are cleaned, painted, and packaged before being delivered to customers for use.
During the manufacturing process of spiral steel pipe, the following aspects need to be paid attention to:
Selection of steel plates: The quality of steel plates directly affects the quality of spiral steel pipes. Therefore, in the production process, steel plates with good quality, smooth surfaces, no cracks, and no rust should be selected as raw materials.
Welding process: The welding of spiral steel pipe is a key link to ensure product quality. The quality of welding directly affects the service life and safety of the spiral steel pipe. Therefore, during the welding process, the welding parameters must be strictly controlled to ensure the welding quality. At the same time, non-destructive testing should be carried out on the welded joints to ensure that the quality of the welded joints meets the requirements.
Straightening process: Spiral steel pipes are prone to problems such as bending and twisting during the manufacturing process, and straightening treatment is required to ensure the straightness and roundness of the pipe.
Surface treatment: The surface of the steel pipe needs to be treated with rust removal and painting to improve its corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
In short, spiral steel pipe is an important pipeline material, and its production process needs to go through multiple processes to complete. During the manufacturing process, attention needs to be paid to the quality control of each link to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
In general, the production process of spiral steel pipe needs to go through multiple links of fine processing and control to ensure that its quality and performance meet the requirements. With the continuous progress and innovation of technology, the production process is also continuously improved and optimized to provide customers with better products and services.
