[0001] The present invention relates to the field of seamless steel pipes, and in particular to an intelligent grade analysis system for hot-rolled seamless steel pipes. Background Art

[0002] Hot-rolled seamless steel pipe: Hot rolling is the opposite of cold rolling. Cold rolling is performed below the recrystallization temperature, while hot rolling is performed above the recrystallization temperature. The advantage of hot-rolled seamless steel pipe is that it can break down the cast structure of the steel ingot, refine the steel grains, and eliminate microstructural defects, thereby making the steel structure denser and improving mechanical properties. This improvement is mainly reflected along the rolling direction, making the steel less isotropic to a certain extent. Bubbles, cracks, and looseness formed during casting can also be welded under high temperature and pressure.

[0003] For hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, the uniformity of the surface material of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipes determines the manufacturing quality of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipes. Since hot-rolled seamless steel pipes are raw materials for manufacturing other related products, the uniformity of the surface material of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipes also determines the manufacturing quality of the related products of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipes. However, in the existing technology, the uniformity of the surface material of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipes is determined based on either manual mode judgment or rough electronic mode judgment, and the accuracy and speed of the judgment are difficult to meet the needs of existing industrial manufacturing.
