The wear-resistant layer of wear-resistant smls pipe is manufactured by a variety of technical means, the purpose is to enhance the wear resistance of the steel pipe so that it can be used for a long time in a high wear environment. Several common methods for manufacturing the wear-resistant layer of wear-resistant smls pipe are carefully summarized:
1. Hard surface welding method
Hard facing welding is a common method for manufacturing the wear-resistant layer of wear-resistant smls pipes. A wear-resistant layer is formed by coating the surface of the steel pipe with a solder containing a high-hardness material. During the welding process, the welding material melts and solidifies with the surface of the steel pipe, thereby enhancing the wear resistance of the surface.
Steps:
Preparation: First clean the surface of the steel pipe to ensure that there is no oil, rust and other impurities.
Welding: Use wear-resistant welding rods or wear-resistant welding wires, and adopt gas shielded welding (such as argon arc welding) and other welding methods to weld on the surface of the steel pipe.
Cooling: After welding, let the steel pipe cool naturally, and the welded wear-resistant layer solidifies and combines with the base material.
Advantages:
The thickness of the welding layer can be adjusted flexibly.
Different hardness and wear resistance can be selected according to needs.
Suitable for small and medium batch production.
Disadvantages:
Thermal stress may be introduced during welding, causing deformation of the substrate.
Surface hardness may be uneven.
2. Thermal spraying
Thermal spraying is a method of spraying wear-resistant materials onto the surface of steel pipes in a high-temperature melt or powder state. Commonly used wear-resistant materials include cemented carbide, chromium alloy, etc. The wear-resistant layer formed by spraying can effectively improve the wear resistance of steel pipes.
Steps:
Preparation: Clean the surface of the steel pipe, remove impurities and heat to a suitable temperature.
Spraying: Spray the wear-resistant alloy powder or particles onto the surface of the steel pipe at high temperature through a spray gun to form a uniform wear-resistant layer.
Cooling: After spraying, the wear-resistant layer cools and solidifies quickly.
Advantages:
Wear-resistant layer can be applied evenly over a large area.
Suitable for mass production with high efficiency.
The thickness and hardness of the coating can be controlled by adjusting the spraying process.
Disadvantages:
Specialized equipment and technology are required.
Poor surface adhesion or uneven coating thickness may occur during the spraying process.
3. Laser cladding
Laser cladding is a technology that uses a high-power laser beam to melt the wear-resistant material and fuse it with the surface of the steel pipe. In this way, a high-hardness, wear-resistant alloy layer can be formed on the surface of the steel pipe.
Steps:
Laser irradiation: Use a laser beam to irradiate the surface of the steel pipe and fuse the preset alloy powder with the substrate at high temperature.
Solidification cooling: The laser-melted area will cool rapidly and form a hard, wear-resistant alloy layer.
Advantages:
Precisely control the thickness and composition of the coating.
Provides extremely high wear resistance and strength.
No need to heat the entire workpiece, reducing thermal deformation of the substrate.
Disadvantages:
High equipment cost.
Suitable for small and medium batch production.
4. Hard alloy coating
Hard alloy coating technology usually uses powder spraying or coating technology to form a hard alloy coating on the surface of the steel pipe. Common hard alloy materials include tungsten, chromium, tungsten carbide, etc.
Steps:
Surface treatment: Clean and preheat the steel pipe surface to ensure good bonding.
Coating spraying: Coat the carbide material on the steel pipe surface by spraying, dipping or electroplating.
Curing and cooling: The coating material is cured by heating or natural cooling.
Advantages:
Provides very high wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
A thicker wear-resistant layer can be formed.
Disadvantages:
High production cost.
High uniformity requirements for the coating, and precise control of the spraying technology is required.
5. Casting wear-resistant layer
In the process of manufacturing wear-resistant seamless steel pipes, a layer of wear-resistant alloy layer can be cast on the inner or outer wall of the steel pipe by casting process. This method is usually used to produce large-diameter wear-resistant pipes.
Steps:
Preparation of casting mold: Make a casting mold suitable for wear-resistant alloy.
Casting alloy layer: Pour the molten wear-resistant alloy material into the mold to form a wear-resistant layer on the surface of the steel pipe.
Cooling and treatment: Cooling and post-treatment are carried out after casting.
Advantages:
It can be formed in one time, and the coating thickness is uniform.
High hardness and wear resistance.
Disadvantages:
Not suitable for small batch production.
Requires special casting equipment.
6. Arc spraying
Arc spraying is a technology that heats metal materials through an arc and sprays them onto the surface of a steel pipe to form a wear-resistant coating. It is often used to manufacture wear-resistant layers of low-alloy steel pipes.
Steps:
Wire heating: Heat the wire through an arc to melt it.
Spraying: Spray the molten metal onto the surface of the steel pipe to form a uniform wear-resistant layer.
Cooling and curing: The coating forms a wear-resistant layer after cooling.
Advantages:
Simple operation and relatively low cost.
The surface can be locally strengthened.
Disadvantages:
Specialized equipment is required.
The uniformity and bonding strength of the coating may be poor.
Conclusion
There are many methods for manufacturing the wear-resistant layer of wear-resistant smls steel pipes, among which hard surface welding, thermal spraying and laser cladding are the most common methods. Different methods have different advantages and disadvantages. The selection of the appropriate method needs to be based on the actual application requirements, such as wear resistance, cost, production efficiency and other factors. Through these technical means, wear-resistant smls steel pipes can effectively extend their service life and are widely used in high-wear environments in mining, metallurgy, power and other industries. When choosing seamless steel pipes, you must be discerning and choose a steel pipe manufacturing company with excellent reputation and strong strength – Permanent Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
