Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe

Seamless carbon steel pipe is a steel pipe without welds that is manufactured by hot rolling or cold drawing. It is mainly made of carbon steel with a carbon content usually between 0.06% and 1.5%, and may contain a small amount of manganese, silicon and other elements. Its manufacturing process includes hot rolling (suitable for large diameter, thick wall pipes) and cold drawing (suitable for small diameter, thin wall pipes with higher precision). The seamless structure gives it high strength, good pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, and can withstand high pressure and heavy load environments. Seamless carbon steel pipes are widely used in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, etc., for conveying fluids (such as oil, gas, water) or as mechanical parts and structural components. Its advantages include seamlessness, high reliability and wide applicability, and it is an indispensable and important material in the industrial field.

The production process of carbon steel seamless pipe mainly includes hot rolling, cold drawing, extrusion and cold rolling. The hot rolling method is suitable for producing large diameter and thick wall pipes by heating the steel billet, perforating, rolling and sizing. The cold drawing method is suitable for small diameter and thin wall pipes with high precision by drawing through a die at room temperature. The extrusion method is formed by an extruder and is suitable for high alloy steel and special shape pipes. The cold rolling method is cold rolled by a rolling mill and is suitable for high precision and high quality steel pipes. Each process is selected according to demand and is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, machinery and other fields.
