The importance of seamless welding defect detection

Seamless hollow sections, a large number of channels for transporting fluids, such as the transportation of oil, natural gas, coal gas, water and some solid materials, pipes and so on. Steel pipe and solid steel bar, etc. compared to the same torsional strength in bending, lighter, is an economic cross-section steel, widely used in the manufacture of structural parts and mechanical parts, such as piling pipe, automotive drive shafts, bicycle rack and construction using steel scaffolding.

In addition, with the Beijing seamless manufacturing annular parts, can improve material utilization, simplify the manufacturing process, saving material and machining time, such as bearing rings, jack sets, has been widely used to make steel. Steel or a variety of conventional weapons indispensable material, barrel, barrel, etc. to make steel. By cross-sectional shape of the pipe can be divided into tube and shaped tubes. Since the perimeter of equal conditions, the maximum area of  a circle with a circular tube can carry more fluid.

Magnetic particle testing or penetrant testing can effectively find seamless surface cracks, folds, double skin, hairline, pinholes and other surface defects. For ferromagnetic materials, magnetic particle inspection method should be preferred, because of its high detection sensitivity; For non-ferromagnetic material, such as stainless steel seamless pipe, then a penetration assay.

Reserved resection margin when both ends is small, causes the detection apparatus, both ends of the head may not be effectively detected, and ends there is most likely the site of cracks or other defects. If there is a potential end tendency to crack, the installation of the weld heat affected also possible to make the potential crack. Therefore, it should be noted that certain areas of the welded tube detection, to detect defects in steel tip extensions.
