AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Traditional steel pipe heat treatment heating methods are mainly gas heating and resistance heating, which consume a lot of energy. During the heating process, due to the slow heating rate, the work efficiency is not high, and the heating time is long. Steel pipe surface quality

The heating time of the steel pipe is long, the microstructure of the steel pipe is difficult to be refined, and the performance improvement is limited

Considering the continuous and automatic heat treatment process and the good surface quality and high straightness of the steel pipe after heat treatment, it is the best choice to use medium frequency induction heating to heat treat the steel pipe. Induction heating has the advantages of fast heating speed, energy saving, environmental protection and automation. The heating degree is high, the heating process is easy to control, and the manufacturing cost is high. However, this heating method also has the problems of limited holding time and poor temperature uniformity of the steel pipe as a whole.

[0003] In the production process of small and medium-diameter steel pipes, it is generally only necessary to hot-roll or weld large-diameter steel pipes of several specifications, and to produce various specifications of small- and medium-diameter steel pipes through the tension reduction process after reheating to expand the product specification range , improve production efficiency; but after the intermediate reheating process, the austenite phase transformation will re-occur in the pipe structure, and the temperature after tension reducing rolling is greater than Ar 3 (Generally around 850°C), if the subsequent phase transformation is not controlled, it will easily cause the internal structure of the steel pipe to be coarse and the performance will be reduced. It is necessary to use appropriate controlled cooling technology to control the phase transformation after reheating and rolling to improve Microstructure of steel pipe after hot-stretching

At present, the steel pipes after reducing are mostly air-cooled on the cooling bed, the cooling capacity is limited, and the degree of improvement to the structure and performance is limited.
