Stainless steel pipe surface treatment process classification
There are many production processes for stainless steel pipes, the finished products are neatly bundled, and the surface of the stainless steel pipes is also very beautiful. How do manufacturers treat the surface of stainless steel pipes during production? Let’s find out in this article.
When producing stainless steel pipes, attention should be paid to every aspect. The grinding and surface processing of stainless steel pipes need to be careful and meticulous. As the scope of use of stainless steel pipes becomes wider and wider, more manufacturers will have larger orders, so they must not be careless and must handle the surface of stainless steel pipes well. When talking about the surface treatment of stainless steel pipes, the first thing to talk about is the grinding process, which is part of the polishing process.
In fact, there are many skills in the surface treatment of this type of stainless steel pipe. If there are defects on the surface of the stainless steel pipe, it must be polished manually at this time, and then the treatment decision is made on the bar. Nowadays, stainless steel pipes have been effectively used in many fields, and their chemical properties are also different from other stainless steel materials.
When performing surface treatment on stainless steel pipes, the workpiece must first be inspected in all aspects. If the quality is found to be unqualified, such as uneven butt joints, uneven depth of solder joints, etc., it is best to rework the workpiece until it is determined that there are no defects in the stainless steel pipe workpiece. Polished. During the polishing process of stainless steel pipes, it is necessary to carefully remove the solder joints and scratches left by welding to ensure a clean surface. There are two types of grinding: rough grinding and fine grinding. After grinding, the surface of the stainless steel pipe workpiece will be very bright, and the traces of seams can be completely eliminated. After polishing, the stainless steel pipe workpiece should show a mirror-like effect.
Polishing is also a process for treating the surface of stainless steel pipes. There are generally three methods, namely mechanical polishing, chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing. Mechanical polishing is especially suitable for polishing large parts. It is difficult to achieve very good results for small parts, and it is suitable for batch processing. The advantage of this method is that it can perform very good surface treatment, but the disadvantage is that the investment cost is relatively high, the labor intensity is relatively high, and the pollution problem is also serious, so many manufacturers are not optimistic about it.
Chemical polishing is the same. It has a lower cost, does not require the use of large mechanical equipment, has flexible investment, and the polishing speed is also very fast. However, the disadvantage is that the polishing brightness is not good enough. The process of electrochemical polishing is much more stable, easy to operate, has lower investment costs and less pollution. Generally, there is no cost after a one-time investment. This is what most companies now use.
