Method of use of steel pipe,and effect.The meaning of steel pipe.

The main role of nickel in stainless steel is that it changed the crystal structure of the steel. Add the nickel in the stainless steel is a major reason why the formation of austenite crystal structure, so as to improve such as plasticity, toughness and weldability, etc. The properties of stainless steel, nickel so called austenite formed elements. Ordinary carbon steel crystal structure called a ferrite, a body centered cubic (BCC) structure, nickel, prompting from the body centered cubic crystal structure (BCC) structure into a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, the structure called austenite. However, nickel is not the only element in the nature of this. Common austenitic formation elements: nickel, inorganic anti-corrosion coating carbon, nitrogen, manganese, copper. These elements in the austenite formed relative importance for predicting the crystal structure of stainless steel is of great significance. At present, people have developed many formula to describe the relative importance of austenite formed elements, one of the most famous is the following formula: Austenitic formation ability = Ni % + 30 + 30 c % n % Mn % Cu + 0.25 + 0.5) % It can be seen from this equation that carbon is a kind of strong austenite formed elements, its ability to form austenite is 30 times the size of nickel, but it cannot be added to the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, because it can lead to sensitization after welding corrosion and subsequent intergranular corrosion problems. Nitrogen austenitic is the ability to form nickel 30 times, but it is a gas, to the porous problem, can only add a limited amount of nitrogen in stainless steel. Adding manganese and copper can cause refractory life reduce steelmaking process and welding problem. Can be seen from the nickel in the equation, adding manganese for formation of austenite is not very effective, but adding manganese can make more nitrogen dissolving into the stainless steel, and nitrogen is a kind of very strong austenite formed elements. In the 200 series stainless steel, it is with enough form 100% of manganese and nitrogen instead of nickel austenite structure, the lower the content of nickel, manganese and nitrogen needed to join the higher number. For example in type 201 stainless steel, with only 4.5% of the nickel, contains 0.25% nitrogen at the same time. Formed from nickel equation shows that nitrogen in austenite on the ability of the equivalent of 7.5% of the nickel, so also can form 100% austenite structure. This is also the forming principle of 200 series stainless steel. In some do not conform to the standard of 200 series stainless steel, unable to join a sufficient number of manganese and nitrogen to form 100% of austenite structure, artificially reduced chromium addition, this inevitably leads to a decline in stainless steel corrosion resistance. In stainless steel, there are two opposing forces at the same time: ferrite formation elements constantly ferrite, austenite forming elements constantly forming austenite. The final crystal structure depends on the erw steel pipe relative number of two kinds of add elements. Chromium is an element of ferrite formation, so the chromium on the formation of the crystalline structure of the stainless steel and austenitic formation is a competitive relationship between elements. Because iron and chromium ferritic form elements, so 400 series stainless steel is completely

ferritic stainless steel, with magnetic. In the austenite formation elements - nickel to join in the process of iron - chromium stainless steel, with the increase of nickel composition, formation of austenite will also increase gradually, until all the ferrite structure is transformed into austenite structure, thus formed the 300 series stainless steel. If only add half of the amount of nickel, can form a 50% 50% of ferrite and austenite, this structure is calld the duplex stainless steel. 400 series stainless steel is a kind of iron, carbon and chromium alloy. This has the martensitic stainless steel and iron structure, so it is normal magnetic properties. 400 series stainless steel has a strong ability to resist high temperature oxidation, and compared with carbon steel, the physical and mechanical properties are improved further. Most of the 400 series stainless steel can be heat treatment. 300 series stainless steel is a kind of contain iron, carbon, chromium and nickel alloy material, a kind of nonmagnetic stainless steel material, more than 400 series stainless steel has better forging characteristics. Due to austenite structure of 300 series stainless steel, so it is in many environments have strong corrosion resistance, good resistance to metal corrosion caused by stress caused by fracture performance, and its material characteristics, the effect of heat treatment.
