Defects Of Welded Steel Pipe

Defects Of Welded Steel Pipe

Welded steel pipe production process is a steel sheet,strip,and other various molding methods using the straight press roll helical direction curling into a desired cross-sectional shape,and then by means of heart,prssure,different methods of welding weld weld together to obtain steel.Therefore,defects in the welded steel pipe is divided into two parts:the steel base material defects and weld defects.

1.Steel base material defect
The sheet material defects after rolling and other processes,most of planar,parallel to the surface;their main weakness delamination,cracks,folds,etc.,which is the most common layered internal defects.Stratification will produce a variety of cracks when the tensile stress perpendicular to the surface of the sheet by the hierarchical will seriously affect the strength of the steel pipe,it is not allowed defects.

2.Weld defects
Weld defects refers to defect during welding or after welding resulting in the weld is divided into cracks,proes,slag,incomplete penetration,incomplete fusion,undercut weld defects.Intensive weld porosity,slag,etc.a dense three-dimensional defects,cracks,lack of fusion and other  defects in the case of the flat,great harm.Strip slag.

Iron and steel industry prices fell, the reason why?

As we all know, often drop large iron and steel industry, the price is extremely unstable, so what is the cause of this phenomenon?Shinestar Steel Research Institute found through research, technology and the characteristics of the iron and steel industry, the cost structure resulted in the imbalance between supply and demand environment quantity adjustment special difficulties.

Specifically, the characteristics of modern steel production technology determines that the industry has a strong scale effect.This means that the iron and steel enterprises need to spend a huge amount of money to buy equipment and equipment to build production systems, resulting in a higher proportion of fixed capital amortization of depreciation in the total cost.Shinestar Steel Group attaches great importance to R & D investment, its R & D production of carbon steel pipe, welded steel pipe, line pipe, galvanized pipe and other excellent products, the market was highly recognized.

Under normal market conditions, the characteristics of the industry makes the steel enterprises with the average cost per unit of output with the output scale and reduce the advantages, is conducive to enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises by expanding the scale, so the rapid growth in market demand under the environment of enterprises with strong expansion impulse.However, the demand for reverse change and under the conditions of excess capacity, the objective needs of sales compensation huge cost sharing, will lead to reduced production enterprises facing special difficulties,makes an ordinary enterprise may have to accept the price is far below the average cost, the formation of the iron and steel industry seems to be more willing to price competition and regardless of the loss of the phenomenon.

At present, the entire industry is under the background of the capacity to understand the difficulties behind the steel enterprises are more conducive to the promotion of structural adjustment.Huge amortization cost constraints, in addition to the mentioned steel blast furnace if stewing furnace boiler stop need extra pay huge cost, which further increased the steel mills production scale down the economic difficulties.In addition, the government protection measures from the Angle of system distortion may prevent enterprises from the number and scale down.

Requires industry to face the question is: in 2009, 460 million tons of crude steel production in China, in 2015 the actual production capacity of more than 1.25 billion tons of crude steel in our country, production of 804 million tons.By profit nature of the enterprise, industry concentration degree increase, corporate profitability increased, the influx of capital, capacity expansion again, a single merger can not limit production capacity expansion.

Product navigation, production escort,Shinestar Steel Group has been very focused on product development and production, which owns the layout of Changsha, Xiangyin, Nanchang, Tianjin four production bases,combined shinestar steel R & D and production of the powerful platform, R & D and production of carbon steel pipe, welded steel pipe, line pipe, galvanized pipe and other excellent products, praised by customers.The future, Shinestar will continue to increase investment, the introduction of advanced technology and equipment, the more the production of more and better quality products, in order to adapt to the development of the globalization strategy.

The difference between ERW pipe and HFW pipe

The difference between ERW pipe and HFW pipe
ERW call is one of the resistance welding steel pipe, ERW are respectively corresponding to the first letter of the English word. Resistance welding steel pipe can be divided into ac and dc welding welding two forms.
Ac welding according to the different frequency is divided into low frequency, intermediate frequency brazing, intermediate frequency and high frequency welding welding. High frequency welding is mainly used for thin wall pipe or ordinary wall thickness pipe production, high frequency welding is divided into contact welding and induction welding.
Dc welding is commonly used in small diameter steel pipe.
So, in general, the high frequency welded pipe contained in ERW welded pipe, is a kind of high frequency welding process production ERW welded pipe.

Price Adjustment for Q345 Welded Carbon Steel Pipe

Price Adjustment for Q345 Welded Carbon Steel Pipe

The focus of the current market or gathered in the social stock of Q345B longitudinal welded pipe, the five statistics on Friday the total inventory of the five Q345B longitudinal welded pipe stock total 8.44 million tons, 0.4% WoW, down 9.2%; five Q345B straight seam Weld pipe plant inventory total of 4.899 million tons, an increase of 4.9% WoW, down 16.3% year on year. If you look at the current social stock of Q345B longitudinal welded pipe absolute quantity, there is no doubt that the current market inventory pressure is small, but the steel plant inventory began to rise is worth noting. Because the five major varieties of social stock as a result of the decline in the sample caliber representative, in fact, outside the caliber of the amount of resources or trends in the trend of the sample is not the same, so the process of resource dispersion trend is often the core regional stock transfer to non-core areas .
In addition, as the "car limit set" strictly enforced, in fact, the increase in the amount of in-transit resources have been ignored, taking into account the limited capacity of vehicles in southern China, for example, motor transport cycle basically from the past 1-2 days to 2-5 days , That is, the amount of vehicles in transit than in the past to look through; the same token, in the original fuel materials also exist such a situation. If the vehicle capacity does not improve, this resource does not constitute a pressure on the market, but this year, truck sales rose significantly, from January to October 2016 more than 40 tons of semi-tractor sales rose 98.5%; 25-40 tons between the semi-traction Car sales rose 16.6%; 25 tons and below semi-tractor sales rose 119% year on year.
But in October, more than 40 tons, 25-45 tons and 25 tons the following semi-tractor sales were up 45.9%, 68.4% and 117.8%. In general, the truck sales to the road takes 50 days or so, once the capacity to enhance, ask who is willing to increase the transport cycle to extend and bear the burden of resources and risk of funds in transit, then the latter is not there will be a lot of transit resources into social stock To be tested!
Raw materials, the domestic coal mine production safety requirements more stringent, the major domestic coal mines to ensure safe production, production than the previous period have different degrees of decline, making most of the coking plant inventory of refined coal declined support coking coal prices continue to be strong . Affected by this, high-grade iron ore spot prices are also supported, the current futures and spot basis also reflects this trend. So hope that the original fuel material spot fell may not be desirable, but rather need to pay attention to the price difference between the repair. Of course, this premise is the production of steel production enterprises will not substantially
cut.

Spiral steel pipe, straight seam steel pipe, steel springboard be better progressly

Spiral steel pipe, straight seam steel pipe, steel springboard be better progressly
The situation of the steel market this year is different from previous, traditional demand off-season arrival did not cause too big effect, because of the influence of the low costs and inventory, steel price short-term downside is limited, can predict early November steel prices fly again for a while! As a result, the spiral steel pipe, straight seam steel pipe, steel springboard products prices are going.
Steel market supply and demand in November there was still hope keep good posture, basically have the following reasons:
1, the capacity factor
Recent provinces to work in production on the agenda, on October 29, held in tangshan dissolve excess steel production capacity in October on demolishing, finished the province up to dissolve the steel production tasks this year. Operation, were dismantled the plump, qianan 8 companies nine four of converter or blast furnace burden, dissolve the ironmaking production capacity 4.83 million tons of steel production capacity of 2.9 million tons. Released parts factory shut down after the blast furnace, and the overall out of billet quantity reduced, already in short supply of billet is more short, cause certain influence to the stock.
2, inventory factors
In early October steel inventory and social inventory has fallen sharply, stock fell 113.3 and 902000 tons respectively, to the end of the month continues to decline, infinite close to historic lows. Look from the supply, according to the latest statistics, 164 tangshan steel blast furnace capacity utilization is 76.83%, weeks than fell by 4.88%, with the capacity to further fall to the ground, the development of the environmental supervision, the steel mills cut production maintenance, strained November will exacerbate, balance between supply and demand will be phased order.
3, cost factors,
Considering the steel mills coal, coke available inventory days continues to decline, some even only enough to use two or three days, the supply is still tight, there is a slight upward space; in November Catch up market also appears under its impetus, iron ore imports ore in October index gained about $10 / ton, this will encourage steel costs continue to rise. According to ChengShi of iron and steel group, data statistics, as of November 1, the average profit level of the thread is about 70 yuan/ton, profile is still losing money, the average losses of 30 yuan/tons, in social inventory and steel inventories are not high, steel sales, pressure is not big, the high cost can support steel prices continue to strong.
4, macro stabilizing factor
Obvious signs of macroeconomic stabilisation, demand for steel has had a huge impact. September PPI rebounded 0.5%, rose 0.1%, ended 54 months continue to fall. Due to higher commodity prices, laid the foundation for the expansion of enterprise management and earnings upgrades. Three is the enterprise profit improvement. Industrial enterprises above designated size 9 month before total profit year-on-year growth of 8.4%, 2.2% faster than the first half, 7-15.2% growth in August, September state profit up 27% from a year earlier. Corporate earnings improve, provides the power source for promoting investment. Both investment stabilized, and improve corporate profits, were supportive of steel consumption.
To sum up, the steel market in November, the cost and the influence of low inventory, downward space is limited, but, after all, the off-season fell to demand will continue to fall, the extent of upward will also be limited. Taken together, the probability of strong operation is higher, spiral steel pipe, straight seam steel pipe, steel springboard product prices will still be better progressly.
