SMLS pipe pickling process and principles
Pickling is an essential surface treatment process for seamless steel pipes (SMLS pipes), primarily used to remove oxide scale, rust, and other impurities that form during manufacturing. This process enhances the surface quality, improves corrosion resistance, and ensures better adhesion for subsequent coatings or treatments. By utilizing acidic solutions, pickling dissolves unwanted surface contaminants, leaving behind a clean and reactive metal surface suitable for further processing. The following sections outline the principles, process, and key considerations of seamless steel pipe pickling.

ERW pipe welding code - common defects and prevention strategies
ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) pipes are manufactured by welding steel plates, with the weld seam formed by melting the base material of the steel strip. This results in superior mechanical strength compared to conventional welded pipes. The most distinguishing feature of ERW pipes, in contrast to seamless steel pipes, is their weld seam, which directly influences their quality. However, welding defects pose a major challenge in ERW pipe production, affecting safety, structural integrity, and increasing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Understanding common welding defects and their preventive measures is essential for enhancing the quality and reliability of ERW pipes.
