Investigation of Surface Defects in the Through-process manufacture related to Galvanized Products
Posted on 04 April 2012
The presentation cover the topic of pipe manufacturing process :
- Pipe forming : From coil : Cage forming, CBR forming and Spiral forming
From Plate : UO forming, 3Roll Bending, Press Bending (JCO)
2. Seam welding: Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) and Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
3.Girth welding: Onshore and Offshore welding
Explanation of some metallurgy aspect in pipe production :
- Change in steel properties i.e, the steel material will experience a change in its strength, toughness (DWTT) property and its resistance to Hydrogen Induced Cracking After forming process in pipe production
- In ERW process, copper contamination cracking occur along and near the weld bond line and the source of the copper is from contact tip.
- In SAW process, the joint properties is very influenced by the groove shape, spring back phenomenon, scattering of properties in base metal and T-joint in pipe.
- Key factors of corrosion resistance (HIC/SSCC) in welded joint are ratio of thickness to diameter, microstructural effect, hardness distribution in welded joint, effect of residual stress during forming and inclusions in steel.
