The invention discloses a J55-steel-grade SEW expandable casing tube and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method comprises following steps: (1) quickly heating a HFW
welding tube blank through a middle-frequency
induction furnace to 960-1020 DEG C; (2) performing multiple-pass full-tube thermal-stretch reducing to the HFW
welding tube blank; and (3) rotationally passing the thermal-stretch reduced tube blank at 750-850 DEG C through an on-line-controlled cooling apparatus to quickly cool the tube blank to 250-450 DEG C and finally air-cooling the tube blank to
room temperature. In the invention, by means of a one-
step method, high-precision thermal moulding and target
organism adjustment and control of the tube are achieved, thereby significantly reducing the production costs such as
energy consumption. Through HFW
welding, full-tube thermal-stretch reduction and on-line-controlled cooling,
microstructure differences between welding seams and the base material can be eliminated, thereby achieving uniform
organism performance of the full tube (including the base material and the welding seams) and further achieving excellent uniform deformation performance. Meanwhile, a banded structure is eliminated and a double-phase or multi-phase
organism which is formed by reasonable combination of soft-phases and hard-phases with a large amount of ferrite and a less amount of
bainite or
martensite as the main composition, so that the J55-steel-grade SEW expandable casing tube has a high inner
diameter expansion rate.
