Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seamless steel pipe production and processing equipment, and in particular to a seamless steel pipe with expanded diameters at both ends and a production device and method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When transporting fossil fuels or chemical materials such as petroleum and natural gas, the corrosive elements (such as S, etc.) contained in them are likely to cause corrosion to steel pipelines. The use of special inner-coated seamless steel pipes can prevent these elements from corroding the inner wall of the steel pipe, thereby increasing the service life of the transport pipeline. However, since most existing pipelines are connected by welding, the high temperature generated by welding can easily damage the anti-corrosion layer of the inner wall, which makes the welds of the pipelines very susceptible to corrosion, especially in some special equipment, where special-shaped pipelines are used for transportation. These pipelines are extremely difficult to weld and cannot be bent in complex spaces. They are very inconvenient to connect, which seriously affects the transportation efficiency. In actual use, the two ends of the seamless steel pipe can be expanded and then punched into special-shaped pipes for docking, while the circular middle section of the steel pipe is bent in space. There is no equipment in the prior art that can automatically complete the expansion, punching and bending, and manual transfer is required, which is very inconvenient. In addition, the steel pipe material used for processing needs to have both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, while the traditional seamless steel pipe has poor corrosion resistance.
