High-frequency welded pipe is a common steel pipe product, which is widely used in construction, machinery, automobile, aerospace, and other fields. The quality of high-frequency welded pipe directly affects its use and life, so the factors that affect the quality of high-frequency welded pipe are also very important. This article will discuss the factors that affect the quality of high-frequency welded pipes from the aspects of materials, processes, and equipment.

Material factor

1. Steel plate quality

The main raw material of high frequency welded pipe is steel plate, the quality of steel plate directly affects the quality of high frequency welded pipe. The quality of steel plates mainly includes chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality, and so on. If the chemical composition of the steel plate does not meet the standard requirements, it will cause defects such as cracks and pores in the welded high-frequency welded pipe after welding; if the mechanical properties of the steel plate are not good, the strength and toughness of the high-frequency welded pipe will be unstable; if the surface of the steel plate There are defects, oxide skin, etc., which will affect the surface quality of high-frequency welded pipes.

2. Steel pipe production process

The production process of high frequency welded pipe will also affect its quality. The production process mainly includes steel plate uncoiling, steel plate pretreatment, coil forming, high frequency welding, cold coil forming, and other links. If there is a problem in any of these links, it will affect the quality of the high frequency welded pipe. For example, if the uncoiling of the steel plate is not standardized, the edge of the steel plate will be uneven, which will affect the forming of the high-frequency welded pipe; if the current and voltage of high-frequency welding are unstable, it will lead to poor weld quality and affect the strength and toughness of the high-frequency welded pipe. performance.

Process factors

1. Welding process

The welding process of high frequency welded pipe is an important factor affecting its quality. The welding process mainly includes current, voltage, welding speed, welding temperature, and so on. If the welding current and voltage are unstable, the quality of the weld will be poor, affecting the strength and toughness of the high-frequency welded pipe; if the welding speed is too fast or too slow, the quality of the weld will be uneven, and affect the surface of the high-frequency welded pipe Quality; if the welding temperature is too high or too low, it will lead to poor quality of the weld seam and affect the strength, toughness and other properties of the high frequency welded pipe.

2. Heat treatment process

The heat treatment process of high frequency welded pipe will also affect its quality. The heat treatment process mainly includes annealing, normalizing, quenching, and other links. If the heat treatment process is not standardized, it will lead to the uneven microstructure of the high frequency welded pipe, which will affect its strength, toughness, and other properties.

Equipment factor

1. Equipment accuracy

The precision of high frequency welded pipe production equipment will also affect its quality. Equipment precision mainly includes plate rolling machines, high frequency welding machines, cold coiling machines, and so on. If the precision of the equipment is not high, the size of the high-frequency welded pipe will be inaccurate, which will affect its use effect.

2. Equipment maintenance

The maintenance of high frequency welded pipe production equipment will also affect its quality. If the equipment maintenance is not timely and not standardized, it will cause equipment failure and affect the production efficiency and quality of high-frequency welded pipes.

To sum up, the factors affecting the quality of high-frequency welded pipes mainly include materials, processes, equipment, and other aspects. In order to ensure the quality of high-frequency welded pipes, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive control and management from these aspects.
