Analysis of common defects and causes of cold drawn seamless steel tube
Porosity, bubbles, shrinkage cavity residues, non-metallic inclusions, segregation, white spots, cracks and various abnormal fracture defects in cold drawn seamless steel pipes can be found through macroscopic inspection. The method of macro inspection is divided into two methods: acid leaching inspection and fracture inspection. A brief introduction to the common macro defects displayed by the acid leaching method is as follows: Causes of segregation: During the pouring and solidification process, the selective crystallization and diffusion caused the aggregation of certain elements, resulting in uneven chemical composition. According to the different positions of the distribution, it can be divided into ingot type, center and spot segregation. Macroscopic characteristics: On acid-leached samples, when the segregation is erodible substances or gas inclusions, it is dark in color, irregular in shape, slightly concave, flat at the bottom and many dense microporous spots. ...
