Manufacturing Process
Seamless Pipes
Seamless stainless steel pipes are produced through a process involving hot extrusion or cold drawing. This process ensures a uniform structure and high strength, making seamless pipes ideal for high-pressure applications.
Welded Pipes
Welded stainless steel pipes are produced by rolling stainless steel sheets into a tubular shape and welding the seam. These pipes are typically less expensive than seamless pipes and are suitable for applications with lower pressure requirements.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment processes such as annealing and solution treatment are applied to stainless steel pipes to enhance their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This involves heating the pipes to a specific temperature and then cooling them rapidly.
Surface Finish
The surface finish of JIS G3463 stainless steel pipes can vary depending on the application. Common finishes include:
- Pickled: A matte finish achieved by acid treatment, providing good corrosion resistance.
- Polished: A smooth, reflective finish that enhances the appearance and further improves corrosion resistance.
