ASTM A789 General purpose ferritic/austenitic stainless steel seamless and welded steel pipes

Product Description

Seamless pipe is a hollow tubular steel without welding seams, which is made by perforated hot rolling, cold drawing or cold rolling process. It has the characteristics of uniform structure, high strength and good sealing. Its surface is usually the original color of metal (silver gray), and can be galvanized, painted, plated and other anti-corrosion treatments according to needs. According to the production process, it is divided into:

Hot-rolled seamless pipe: thick wall thickness, large outer diameter range, suitable for high pressure and high strength scenes;

Cold rolled / cold drawn seamless pipe: high precision, smooth surface, uniform wall thickness, mostly used for precision machinery or fluid transportation.

According to the material, it is divided into:

Carbon steel seamless pipe (such as Q235, 20# steel): low cost and wide application;

Alloy steel seamless pipe (such as 15CrMo, 42CrMo): high temperature, high pressure and corrosion resistance;

Stainless steel seamless pipe (such as 304, 316L): excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for food, medical, chemical and other fields.

Applications

1. Industrial pipeline system

Fluid transportation: water, oil, gas (natural gas, steam) pipelines, such as municipal water supply, chemical raw material pipelines, thermal pipelines;

High-pressure scenarios: boiler pipelines (power station boilers, industrial boilers), hydraulic system pipelines (construction machinery, injection molding machines).

2. Machinery manufacturing

Structural support: automobile drive shafts, bicycle frames, oil drill pipes;

Precision parts: cylinder tubes, hydraulic cylinder barrels (high-precision cold-rolled seamless pipes are required).

3. Construction and Engineering

Steel structures: supporting columns of bridges and high-rise buildings (such as large-diameter hot-rolled seamless pipes);

Pile foundation engineering: steel pipes for piling, underground continuous wall pipes.

4. Chemical and Petroleum

Corrosive medium transportation: stainless steel seamless pipes are used to transport acid, alkali, and salt solutions;

Oil extraction: oil well pipes, casing (anti-sulfur and anti-corrosion alloy pipes are required).

5. Other fields

Shipbuilding: marine boiler pipes, seawater desalination pipes;

Medical equipment: stainless steel sterile pipes (pharmaceuticals, food processing);

Aerospace: aircraft engine oil pipes, hydraulic pipes (ultra-high strength alloy pipes are required).

Performance 1

Performance 2

1. Mechanical properties

High strength: seamless pipes have no welds, and the overall strength is higher than that of welded pipes, suitable for high pressure and impact loads;

Fatigue resistance: not easy to crack under cyclic loads, suitable for vibration environments (such as mechanical transmission pipes).

2. Corrosion resistance

Stainless steel material: 304/316L seamless pipes are resistant to acid, alkali and salt corrosion and are widely used in chemical and marine engineering;

Surface treatment: galvanizing (Zn), epoxy resin coating (EP), and polyethylene lining (PE) can further enhance the corrosion resistance.

3. Process performance

Weldability: Carbon steel and low alloy steel seamless pipes can be connected by welding, and stainless steel pipes require special welding materials;

Processability: Can be bent, expanded, reduced in diameter and other processing (cold-rolled pipes are easier to form).

4. Sealing

The weld-free design is suitable for scenarios with high sealing requirements (such as gas pipelines and hydraulic systems).
