  • What is the difference between precision rolled seamless steel pipe and ordinary steel pipe?

    The precision rolled seamless steel pipe is made by hot rolling or cold rolling and other precision processing technologies. After the solid steel billet is pierced, it goes through multiple rolling and finishing processes to make the pipe wall uniform, with high dimensional accuracy and good surface finish.
    Ordinary steel pipes are usually produced by welding or simple extrusion molding. The production process is relatively simple, and the precision and surface quality are not as good as those of precision-rolled seamless steel pipes.

    The precision rolled seamless steel pipe has excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength, high toughness, good fatigue resistance and high pressure resistance. This is because its internal structure is uniform, without defects such as welds, and it can better withstand various stresses and working conditions. The production process of the finished rolled tube can produce dimensional equipment and high-precision dimensions below 0.1 mm. The finished rolled tube has a smooth surface and high dimensional accuracy.
    Due to the presence of welds, the mechanical properties of ordinary steel pipes are relatively poor, especially when subjected to high pressure, high temperature, or alternating loads; they are prone to problems such as cracks and leakage. Ordinary rolled tube products may have large dimensional errors.


  • What are the physical properties of stainless steel medium-thick plate?

    Stainless steel medium and thick plates refer to steel plates with a thickness ranging from 4 to 25.0 mm. Depending on the thickness, it can be further subdivided into:
    Thicknesses between 25.0 and 100.0 mm are called thick plates.
    Plates with a thickness exceeding 100.0 mm are called extra thick plates.

    Physical properties: Its boiling point is 872°C (some say it is 2730°C), melting point is 1398°C, density is 7.93g/cm³, thermal conductivity is 20W/m·K, and elastic modulus is 190MPa (or 190GPa, 1GPa=1000MPa). Mechanical properties: High plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength. The tensile strength specimen can continue to elongate without increasing the force during the tensile test, and the elongation is not less than 5% during the tensile test.

    Corrosion resistance: atmospheric corrosion resistance, acid resistance, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, and stress corrosion cracking resistance are all good, but the specific performance is related to alloy factors.

    Heat resistance: Good high temperature strength, but slightly inferior to some high temperature alloys; high temperature brittleness, high temperature oxidation and sulfidation performance are also good.


  • Stainless Steel Pipe vs. Galvanized Steel Pipe: Which Offers Superior Corrosion Resistance?

    Galvanized steel pipes perform well in ordinary dry environments. The zinc coating on their surface effectively isolates the steel from contact with air and moisture, providing basic protection. However, this protection has limitations: once the zinc layer is scratched or damaged, the underlying steel becomes susceptible to rusting, especially in humid, high-salinity, or chemically corrosive environments, where its durability is significantly reduced.
    Stainless steel pipes (commonly grades 304/316) inherently possess outstanding corrosion resistance. The protective chromium oxide layer formed by chromium can self-repair even when damaged, making them exceptionally effective in harsh environments such as coastal areas or chemical plants. However, corrosion resistance varies among different stainless steel types, necessitating selection of the appropriate grade based on specific environmental conditions.
