How to identify the quality of seamless steel pipes?
1. Fake and inferior steel pipes are prone to folding.
Folding is a variety of creases formed on the surface of steel pipes, which often run through the longitudinal direction of the entire product. The reason for folding is due to the pursuit of high efficiency by fake and inferior manufacturers, which results in excessive reduction and the generation of ears. Folding occurs during the next rolling process, and the folded product will crack after bending, resulting in a significant decrease in the strength of the steel.
2. The appearance of fake and inferior steel pipes often shows pitting.
Pitted surface is a defect caused by severe wear and tear on the rolling groove, resulting in irregular unevenness on the steel surface. Due to the pursuit of profit by fake and inferior steel pipe manufacturers, there are often cases where rolling grooves exceeds the standard.
3. The surface of fake and inferior steel pipes is prone to scabbing.
There are two reasons: (1) The material of fake and inferior steel pipes is uneven and there are many impurities. (2) Fake and inferior materials
