What Are The Heat Treatment Methods for Spiral Steel Pipes

1. Thermomechanical treatment: High-temperature thermomechanical treatment can improve the yield ratio and elastic limit of spiral steel pipes. Improve the comprehensive mechanical properties, fatigue properties, and stress relaxation properties of spiral steel pipes. Reducing the ductile-brittle transition temperature and temper brittleness of steel has the advantages of a simple process and energy saving. High-temperature thermomechanical treatment has a significant impact on spiral tubes. The specific process is heating temperature 920-950℃, hot rolling deformation 10%-30%, air cooling time 10-30 seconds, oil quenching; then ordinary tempering or high-temperature rapid tempering above 400℃.

2. Chemical heat treatment in the ferrite state: Chemical heat treatment in the ferrite state, such as nitriding, nitrocarburizing, etc., can significantly improve the surface hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and residual compressive stress of the spiral pipe. and fatigue life. The chemical heat treatment temperature is generally between 450 and 600°C. The quenched and tempered spiral pipe can be combined with chemical heat treatment and tempering. The chemical heat treatment temperature of the precipitation-hardening spiral pipe is the same as the precipitation-hardening temperature.

As the application of spiral steel pipes becomes more and more widespread, the requirements for the technology and product diversity of spiral steel pipes are also getting higher and higher.
