This article will introduce the material characteristics, production process, application field, and market prospects of Q370QC straight seam welded steel pipe in detail.
First, the material characteristics of Q370QC straight seam welded steel pipe
Q370QC is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel, and its chemical composition and mechanical properties meet the requirements of the national standard GB/T 1591-2018 "Low Alloy High Strength Structural Steel". The yield strength of Q370QC steel is not less than 370MPa, the tensile strength is between 470-630MPa, and it has good plasticity and toughness. In addition, Q370QC steel also has good welding performance, which can meet the requirements of various welding processes and ensure the strength and toughness of the welded joint. During the manufacturing process of Q370QC straight seam welded steel pipe, its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance can be further improved by strictly controlling the chemical composition and heat treatment process. For example, by adding micro-alloying elements (such as Nb, V, Ti, etc.), the grains can be refined and the strength and toughness of the steel pipe can be improved. In addition, Q370QC steel also has good low-temperature toughness and is suitable for use in low-temperature environments.
Second, the production process of Q370QC straight seam welded steel pipe
The production process of Q370QC straight seam welded steel pipe mainly includes steel plate pretreatment, forming, welding, heat treatment, straightening, and testing. The following is a detailed introduction to each link:
