Various processing methods are available for stainless steel pipes, each suited to different requirements. Below are some common processing techniques for stainless steel pipes.
Cutting:
Cutting is a fundamental step in stainless steel pipe processing. Mechanical cutting, flame cutting, and laser cutting are common methods. Mechanical cutting suits normal thickness, flame cutting is for thicker pipes, and laser cutting provides high precision and smoothness.
Bending:
Stainless steel pipes can be cold or hot bent. Cold bending suits small angles and diameters, while hot bending is for larger angles and diameters. Attention to the bending radius is crucial to avoid excessive stress and potential breakage.
Expansion and Contraction:
This method alters pipe diameter using mechanical or hydraulic force, useful for joining, transitioning, and sealing stainless steel pipes.
Welding:
TIG, MIG, and resistance welding are common for connecting stainless steel pipes. Proper material selection and welding processes ensure quality and corrosion resistance.
Surface Treatment:
Improves appearance and corrosion resistance. Polishing enhances finish and brightness, pickling removes oxides and pollutants, electroplating boosts corrosion resistance, and spraying provides visual effects and protective layers.
In summary, stainless steel pipe processing covers cutting, bending, expanding, welding, and surface treatment. Choose the appropriate method based on specific needs for effective processing and application.
