This invention provides a method for manufacturing high-
toughness and ultra-high-strength steel pipes, comprising the following steps: 1)
electric arc furnace
smelting; 2)
ladle refining; 3) VD vacuum degassing; 4)
continuous casting; 5) low-temperature annealing; 6) through-hole drilling; 7) heating; 8)
skew rolling piercing; 9) periodic
pipe rolling; 10) mist cooling; 11) normalizing +
tempering; 12) internal and external
grinding. This invention, through
electric arc furnace
smelting +
ladle refining + VD vacuum degassing +
continuous casting, not only meets the requirements for high-purity steel with low
phosphorus and low
sulfur content, but also has lower
smelting costs than other processes. By using a round billet center mill to add through-holes, the amount of piercing deformation is reduced,
metal flow conditions are optimized, and internal and external surface defects under complex
stress conditions during piercing are improved. Based on the integrated deformation of
forging, rolling, and
extrusion, four processes—
forging and rolling, precision rolling,
sizing, and
pipe removal—are realized, which not only refines the product grains and makes the longitudinal and transverse properties uniform, but also improves the geometric dimensional accuracy and internal and external surface quality of the steel
pipe.
