Pickling defect of carbon structure seamless pipe
Carbon structural steel pipe is a seamless pipe that does not contain other alloying elements except for carbon (C) elements and a certain amount of silicon (Si) (generally not exceeding 0.40%) and manganese (Mn) alloying elements for deoxidation. . Such steels must guarantee both chemical composition and mechanical properties. The content of impurity elements such as sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) is generally controlled below 0.035%. Structural seamless pipe pickling In addition to stripping the iron oxide scale during pickling, hydrogen also diffuses into the carbon structural steel pipe matrix and gathers at impurities or pores. It leads to an increase in internal stress, reduces the plasticity of carbon structural steel pipes, and increases the brittleness of carbon structural steel pipes. This effect is called hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement is mainly affected by the diffusion rate of hydrogen atoms. The diffusion rate of hydrogen is related to the following factors...
