The Difference Between Hot-Dip Galvanizing and Electro-Galvanizing

图片
Galvanizing   is a process of zinc coating, with hot-dip galvanizing involving melting zinc and electro-galvanizing using an electrolytic method. While their manufacturing processes differ significantly, the final products may appear similar. So, how can we distinguish between hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing? Let's delve into it. Firstly, Distinction in Processes: Hot-dip galvanizing involves multiple processing steps, including oil removal, acid pickling, immersion in a flux bath, drying, and finally immersion in a molten zinc bath for a specific duration. On the other hand, electro-galvanizing, also known as zinc electroplating, utilizes an electrolytic process. After oil removal and acid pickling, the workpiece is immersed in a solution containing zinc salts. By connecting to the electrolytic equipment, zinc deposits onto the workpiece via directed movement of current between positive and negative poles. Secondly, Differentiation in Appearance: Hot-dip galvanized coa...

The Difference between Stainless Steel Tube Surface Brushing, Grinding, and Sandblasting

图片
Introduction: When it comes to the surface treatment of   stainless steel tubes , brushing, grinding, and sandblasting each offer unique characteristics. Understanding the differences between these techniques is crucial for selecting the optimal surface finish for various applications in the industry. Brushing: Brushing refers to the initial color of stainless steel tubes, which have a smooth surface without any grainy texture. Over time, brushing develops a patina that enhances its brightness and appearance. This finish is versatile and widely used in a variety of applications. Grinding: Grinding creates a textured surface on stainless steel tubes using a grinding wheel. This finish has a heavier grainy feel compared to brushing, increasing friction and making it suitable for various kitchen utensils and appliances where a better grip is needed. Sandblasting: Sandblasting produces a textured surface on stainless steel tubes through an electrochemical process. The grainy feel of s...

Seamless Steel Pipe: Annealing and Non-Annealing

图片
The main difference between   seamless steel pipe   annealing and non-annealing lies in their organizational structure, hardness, machinability, and corrosion resistance. Structural organization and performance transformation: After the seamless steel pipe undergoes annealing treatment, its organizational structure will change. For example, annealing can reduce the hardness of the steel pipe, increase plasticity, enhance machinability, and corrosion resistance. While the steel pipe that has not been annealed may have higher hardness and strength, but it is difficult to process and handle. Annealing types: The annealing of seamless steel pipe includes full annealing, spheroidizing annealing, stress-relief annealing, etc. Full annealing aims to reduce the hardness of seamless steel pipe and eliminate the non-uniform organization and internal stress in the steel. For spheroidizing annealing, the seamless steel pipe needs to be heated to 750 degrees, held for a period of time and ...

The Factors Affecting the Straightness of Seamless Steel Tube

图片
The straightness of   seamless steel tubes   has a significant impact on pipes used in precision machinery and hydraulic cylinders. High straightness accuracy can enhance the efficiency of post-processing for customers and reduce production costs. What are the factors that affect the straightness of seamless tubes?  1. Outdated straightening equipment The outdated straightening equipment, resulting in poor straightening accuracy. The straightness of seamless steel tubes after being discharged from the furnace has not significantly improved, and only visual inspection can ensure no bending. For the precision processing industry, the straightness requirements of such seamless steel tubes cannot be met, for example, for hydraulic cylinders, which have high requirements for the straightness of steel tubes and need to ensure the consistency of the inner hole. However, outdated straightening equipment is far from meeting this requirement.  Xiangjia Steel  possesses ad...

A Comprehensive Guide to GB/T 14976-2012 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe Standard

图片
GB/T 14976-2012 is the standard for   stainless steel seamless pipes   used in fluid transportation. This standard specifies the requirements for dimensions, appearance, weight, and other aspects of the steel pipes. The outer diameter of the pipes generally ranges from 15.8mm to 68.6mm, with wall thickness ranging from 2.5mm to 7.5mm. Additionally, the standard also provides detailed specifications for the surface quality, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and more. Key Changes from GB/T 14976-2002: Compared to GB/T 14976-2002, GB/T 14976-2012 has undergone significant changes. These include the addition of delivery methods based on minimum wall thickness, modified tolerances for pipe dimensions, deletion of marking examples, changes to steel grades and chemical compositions, introduction of new steel grades, removal of duplex steel grades and related content, modifications to hydrostatic test requirements for pipes, and the addition of informative Appendix A for g...

The Difference between Hot Rolling and Cold Rolling of Spiral Pipe

图片
There are differences in the implementation of hot rolling and cold rolling of   spiral pipes . Both processes are used to form steel sections or plates and have a significant impact on the structure and properties of the steel. Typically, the rolling of steel is dominated by hot rolling, while cold rolling is mainly used for the production of fine-type sections and thin plates. During hot rolling, the casting organisation of the ingot can be destroyed, grain refinement can take place and microstructural defects can be eliminated, resulting in a dense steel structure and improved mechanical properties. This improvement is mainly reflected in the direction along the rolling direction, making the steel to a certain extent non-isotropic; at the same time, under high temperature and pressure, the casting of bubbles, cracks and loose parts can be welded together. Cold rolling is at room temperature, through cold drawing, cold bending, cold drawing and other cold processing of steel plat...
