Seamless steel tube classification method

Because of its different manufacturing processes, seamless steel tubes are divided into hot rolled (extrusion) seamless steel tubes and cold drawn seamless steel tubes. Cold drawn tubes are divided into two types: round tubes and shaped tubes.

Process Overview

Hot rolling (extrusion seamless steel pipe): round billet → heating → perforation → three-roller oblique rolling, continuous rolling or extrusion → stripping → sizing (or reducing) → cooling → blank tube → straightening → water pressure Test (or flaw detection) → mark → storage.
Cold drawn (rolled) seamless steel tube: round tube blank → heating → piercing → start → annealing → pickling → oil coating (copper plating) → multi-pass cold drawing (cold rolling) → blank tube → heat treatment → straightening → Hydrostatic test (flaw detection) → mark → storage.
