Desde o desenvolvimento do aço inoxidável há mais de cem anos, ele se tornou o material mais usado e popular do mundo. Já o aço inoxidável tem a notável resistência à corrosão que ajuda no aumento de recursos com teor de cromo. A resistência pode ser demonstrada em ácidos redutores, bem como contra ataques de corrosão, como em soluções de cloreto. Requer pouca manutenção e é familiar para lustrar, tornando-o um material ideal e melhor para tubos SS.

Este material versátil é indispensável em grandes indústrias. Isso pode conter número de aplicação, especialmente para tubos SS que beneficiam o usuário com propriedades positivas.

Ligas contendo ferro feitas de mais de dois elementos químicos são conhecidas como aço inoxidável. É amplamente utilizado em uma ampla gama de aplicações. A liga de aço inoxidável é basicamente uma liga de aço com teores percentuais de ferro, níquel e cromo em abundância.

O aço inoxidável está presente há séculos, pois é vulnerável à corrosão e funciona melhor em condições difíceis. O aço inoxidável é reconhecido no final do ano 1800 com uma combinação de ferro-cromo com resistência à ferrugem oferecida. Desde então, ele é moldado em tubos de aço inoxidável para que seja usado em várias aplicações industriais.

Em 1912, um pesquisador do laboratório brown-firth finalmente fundou uma liga SS martensítica. O novo material foi rotulado como Staybrite. A liga de aço inoxidável é composta por liga de ferro com quantidade mínima de cromo de até 10,5%. Você pode ver uma enorme variedade de ligas no mercado, a única coisa que diferem é na composição química. Os elementos de liga são titânio, níquel, carbono, cobre, nitrogênio que podem aumentar a conformabilidade, resistência e outras propriedades SS.

O tubo de aço inoxidável está disponível em diferentes tipos de produtos, como tubos soldados e tubos sem costura. A composição pode variar e isso possibilita o uso nas respectivas indústrias. Empresa industrial genérica usa tubo de aço inoxidável para uso regular.

Tipos de tubos SS básicos

Vamos ver os diferentes tipos de tubos de aço inoxidável usados ​​em diferentes cenários-

Tubulação contínua

Um tubo que tem ausência de juntas de solda ou costuras é conhecido como tubo sem costura. Pode suportar temperatura e pressão intensas ou extremas. Todos os tanques vão para o metal. O tubo sem costura é utilizado em uma ampla variedade de aplicações, como gás e óleo. Eles também são utilizados em indústrias mecânicas e de engenharia. Isso é o que o torna versátil antes de chegar ao cliente; eles foram inspecionados com nível de precisão que garante a sua garantia de alta qualidade.

Tubo soldado

Quase em todas as indústrias, tubos soldados foram usados ​​devido à sua flexibilidade. No entanto, eles custam melhor quando se trata de servir de alta resistência à corrosão, opondo-se assim à pressão. Os tubos soldados são leves devido ao tipo de material utilizado. Eles são econômicos em comparação com outros métodos de tubulação quando se trata de pagar o seu dinheiro.

Flanges de tubo

Outra parte importante do sistema de tubulação geral são os flanges do tubo. Os flanges de tubo estão disponíveis em uma variedade de roscas, semifinais, juntas sobrepostas e persianas. São materiais robustos e duráveis ​​que garantem a oferta de produtos de alta qualidade com o máximo nível de confiabilidade.

Características

Resistência à corrosão

Quase todos os tubos de aço inoxidável disponíveis no mercado são ligas à base de ferro, com teor mínimo de cromo de 10,5%. Uma camada de óxido autocurativa ou protetora é formada na liga quando ela contém cromo. O tubo de aço inoxidável obteve sua propriedade de resistência à corrosão por meio da formação de uma camada de óxido. As características de autocura da camada de óxido implicam que a resistência à corrosão intacta pode ser alcançada independentemente dos meios de fabricação.

Ele tem a capacidade de autocura e oferece alta resistência à corrosão, mesmo se a superfície do tubo sofrer algum dano ou corte. Por outro lado, a camada protetora formada por carbono normal por revestimento ou pintura, como galvanização. O aço subjacente, bem como a corrosão, ficam expostos nas modificações da superfície.

O funcionamento da resistência à corrosão pode diferir com diferentes graus de tubos de aço inoxidável em vários ambientes. O tubo de aço inoxidável tem duas características principais em comum - eles possuem resistência e contêm cromo que o torna imune a ataques. O tubo de aço inoxidável não é afetado por álcalis agressivos, ácidos e outros produtos químicos.

Os tipos de tubos que contêm alto teor de níquel, molibdênio e cromo apresentam mais resistência à corrosão.

Resistência criogênica (baixa temperatura) -

A resistência criogênica em baixa temperatura é medida pela tenacidade ou ductilidade em temperatura de nível abaixo de zero. A resistência à tração do aço inoxidável austenítico é substancialmente maior na temperatura criogênica, em comparação com a temperatura ambiente. Eles também possuem a capacidade de manter uma excelente tenacidade em ambientes adversos.

Em temperaturas abaixo de zero, os tubos de aço martensítico e ferrítico de endurecimento por precipitação não devem ser usados. Em baixas temperaturas, a tenacidade do grau cai significativamente. É encontrado em alguns casos, a resistência criogênica cai mais perto da temperatura atmosférica.

Endurecimento do Trabalho

Uma das maiores vantagens do endurecimento por trabalho de graus de tubos de aço inoxidável é que aumenta e melhora significativamente a resistência do metal e ajuda a alcançar o trabalho a frio. A combinação dos estágios de recozimento e trabalho a frio são fáceis de empregar de modo a fornecer aos componentes fabricados a resistência adequada.

Resistência a quente

A alta resistência pode ser mantida em pico ou temperatura elevada. Os tipos de tubos de aço inoxidável que contêm grande cromo ou silício, o nitrogênio é responsável pela resistência a quente. Alta resistência a quente pode ser oferecida para os graus de ferríticos de cromo.

O tubo de aço inoxidável com alto teor de cromo auxilia na resistência à incrustação em temperaturas de pico ou elevadas.

Força e formabilidade

O tubo de aço inoxidável de diferentes graus oferece diferentes faixas de resistência. Comparado com a resistência moderada, a resistência permanece um tanto constante em condições suaves. O aço austenítico mais macio contém alongamento e ductilidade excepcionais. Conseqüentemente, pode ser trabalhado a frio de modo a dar um produto acabado com uma extensa série de semifabricados. Para atingir a condição final, a tenacidade e a resistência se combinam de maneira eficaz.

Boa variedade de ductilidade e resistência é oferecida pelos tubos de aço inoxidável ferrítico. O tratamento térmico subsequente confere dureza e alta resistência, no caso de tubos de aço martenisítico.

Ductilidade

A% de alongamento é responsável pela ductilidade durante o teste de tração. O alongamento do aço inoxidável austenítico é alto. Altas taxas de endurecimento por trabalho e altas taxas de ductilidade permitem que o aço inoxidável austenítico dê forma e trabalhe em processos separados como repuxo profundo.

Alta resistência

Em comparação com o aço carbono, o aço inoxidável apresenta maior quantidade de resistência à tração. O aço inoxidável duplex geralmente tem maior resistência em comparação com o aço austenítico. No grau martensítico, o nível mais alto de resistência à tração pode ser visto, bem como nos graus de endurecimento por precipitação. Esses tipos de classe possuem dupla resistência em comparação com outras classes.

Resposta magnética

A resposta magnética geralmente é a atração do aço inoxidável. Os graus austeníticos são puramente não magnéticos e podem ser induzidos em alguns graus austeníticos por trabalho a frio. Classes como 316 e 310 são geralmente não magnéticas com trabalho a frio. Todos os outros tipos de aço inoxidável são magnéticos.

Serviço de alta e baixa temperatura

O aço inoxidável pode reter resistência em alta proporção quando aquecido. Mostra descolorir quando aquecido em temperatura muito alta. Consequentemente, os tubos de aço inoxidável são usados ​​em indústrias em temperaturas extremas. A resistência do tubo pode diminuir com a redução de vários fatores. Em alta temperatura, pode-se observar um tipo de alongamento lento, mas constante, com resistência a insidiosa.

É durável quando entra em contato com produtos de combustão em uma faixa de temperatura próxima a 1100 graus c. A temperatura atinge -196 graus C em alguns processos, o que pode resultar em perda de ductilidade e também de tenacidade. Ligas de aço inoxidável austenítico específicas são usadas com base de liga de Ni para torná-lo ideal.

Corrosão localizada-

Fissuração por corrosão sob tensão ou SSC -

A rachadura por corrosão sob tensão ou SSC é basicamente uma rachadura repentina devido a falha de componente ou deformação. Isso ocorre quando as seguintes condições são encontradas-

• Qualquer parte fica estressada devido à tensão residual
• O tubo não tem resistência suficiente
• Os tubos de aço inoxidável são fabricados de forma a apresentar alto nível de resistência à corrosão sob tensão.

Resistência ao calor e ao fogo

Devido à combinação de níquel e liga de cromo, o grau tem a capacidade de resistir à descamação, bem como de reter a força em temperaturas muito altas.

Higiene

Os tubos de inox são fáceis de limpar e por isso o cliente costuma escolher. Pode ser usado em matadouros, cozinhas, hospitais e indústrias, como fábricas de processamento de alimentos.

Aparência estética

Os tubos de aço inoxidável são brilhantes e podem ser mantidos devido à sua aparência atraente e moderna.

Vantagem peso-resistência

Um reforço significativo pode ser resultado devido à propriedade de endurecimento por trabalho a frio. Sobre as classes convencionais, as classes duplex têm espessura de material reduzida.

Facilidade de fabricação

Usando técnicas modernas, os tubos de aço inoxidável podem ser facilmente formados, usinados, soldados, fabricados e cortados.

Resistência ao impacto-

A microestrutura austenítica do aço inoxidável oferece alta tenacidade em temperaturas elevadas. É por isso que pode ser usado em aplicações criogênicas.

Valor de longo prazo

Se você considerar o ciclo de vida total ou geral do aço inoxidável, verá que o material mais barato é usado. Benefícios de longo prazo podem ser aproveitados pelos tubos de aço inoxidável.

Aplicativos

Petróleo e Gás

É evidente que nas indústrias de gás e petróleo a tecnologia e as ferramentas desempenham um papel vital. Nos últimos anos, o requisito de sistema de tubulação resistente à corrosão foi explorado profundamente. Os tubos de aço inoxidável super duplex e duplex são amplamente utilizados nas indústrias de petróleo e gás. Ele mostra uma incrível resistência à corrosão em condições adversas e difíceis. Se houver algum dano, o sistema de tubulação ficará inutilizável e estourará facilmente em profundidades mais profundas. É por isso que é recomendado que tubos resistentes sejam usados ​​na indústria de gás e petróleo para que funcionem bem na indústria.

Energia nuclear

Coletar energia dos núcleos de um átomo não é uma tarefa fácil. O tipo de reator nuclear que utilizamos oferece vapor através da água, que é passado para girar turbinas perto da costa, a fim de obter energia para as necessidades de resfriamento. Em seguida, a água é bombeada para os reatores através dos tubos de aço inoxidável. Esses tubos atendem à necessidade ou exigência de natureza corrosiva na água do mar. A fim de se defender da corrosão, o tubo de aço inoxidável deve ser qualificado para que possa ser servido à indústria de energia nuclear.

Especificações ASTM para tubos

É velho o ditado que a indústria e os padrões andam de mãos dadas. Os resultados de produção e teste podem variar devido à variação nos diferentes padrões da organização para amplos intervalos de aplicação. O comprador precisa primeiro entender os fundamentos das diferentes especificações industriais para seus projetos, dê uma olhada no parágrafo abaixo.

ASTM

ASTM significa American Society para testes e materiais. A ASTM International oferece padrões de serviço e material industrial em uma ampla gama de setores presentes nas indústrias. Esta organização em particular atendeu a mais de 12.000 padrões atualmente, que foram usados ​​em indústrias em todo o mundo.

Quase mais de 100 padrões referem-se a tubos e conexões de aço inoxidável. ASTM cobre quase toda a variedade de canais, ao contrário de outras organizações padrão.

Exemplo da Fox - uma linha completa de tubos é estocada como produtos de tubos americanos. Para serviços de alta temperatura, tubos de carbono sem costura são usados ​​com padrões apropriados. A determinação da composição química e do processo de fabricação específico relacionado ao material define os padrões ASTM.

As quantidades permitidas são magnésio, níquel, carbono, etc. por “Grau”.

Por exemplo, os graus A e B ajudam na identificação de tubos de aço carbono. Além disso, os graus ASTM podem ser organizados de acordo com flanges, tubos, conexões e porcas.

Material ASTM

A106 - essas especificações são usadas para serviços de alta temperatura

A335 - para tubos de aço ferrítico sem costura para serviços de alta temperatura

A333 - para uso em baixa temperatura, tubos de aço de liga soldada e sem costura são usados

A312 - para serviços corrosivos em geral e serviços de alta temperatura, são usados ​​tubos soldados trabalhados a frio, com costura direta e sem costura

Os padrões ASTM são fundamentais para testar, avaliar mecânica, requisitos de instalação, projeto e especificação de tubos.

Tipos baseados na fabricação - ERW soldado, EFW, sem costura

A produção de tubos soldados a partir de bobinas ou placas contínuas envolve laminação de placas ou bobinas em seção circular com auxílio de rolo ou máquina de dobra em processo contínuo. em tamanhos grandes, a fabricação pode ser feita com material de enchimento. Os tubos soldados são mais baratos, ao contrário dos tubos sem costura, que são mais caros. Basicamente, existem vários métodos de soldagem, como-

EFW - soldagem por fusão elétrica

ERW - soldagem por resistência elétrica

HFW - soldagem de alta frequência

VI - soldagem por arco submerso (costura espiral ou costura longa)

Nesta seção, você aprenderá e compreenderá o processo de fabricação de tubos como HFW, EFW, ERW e SAW. A partir de bobinas contínuas e também de tiras, tubos soldados são produzidos. A fim de produzir tubos manufaturados, a bobina ou as placas são primeiro enroladas em forma circular usando uma máquina de mistura de placas.

A seção circular então é encaminhada para a segunda seção. Na segunda seção, a configuração da soldagem ajuda na soldagem do tubo. O tubo pode ser facilmente soldado sem ou com material de enchimento por meio de um processo de soldagem apropriado. Os tubos soldados são em geral muito mais baratos em comparação com os tubos sem costura, mas são fracos devido às juntas soldadas. Os tubos soldados são produzidos em tamanhos grandes sem restrição superior. Curvas e cotovelos de raio longo podem ser formados por meio da fabricação de tubos soldados.

Agora, você conhece a formação básica de tubo por meio de máquina de laminação. Este processo semelhante pode ser usado para produzir tubos SAW grossos.

Processo Produzido com Tubo Soldado SAW

O metal de adição externo, como eletrodos de arame, é utilizado na conexão de placas formadas. Sabe-se que a costura longitudinal única é incorporada em tubos de serra com base no tamanho do tubo. No entanto, para processos não críticos ou serviços de baixa pressão, são utilizados tubos de serra.

A soldagem é feita em tubos SAW com costura única, por meio de submersão em processo de soldagem a arco. Para fora, um fio de enchimento sólido é usado continuamente. Em seguida, o tubo é soldado por fora.

Em tubos SAW de costura dupla, por meio de solda por pontos, duas metades são conectadas, o que é conhecido como Fit-up. A frenagem de duas costuras costas com costas é responsável pela costura dupla do tubo. A costura é soldada por fora e por dentro do tubo. A soldagem de passagem múltipla é executada através de tubos de alta espessura.

Desbobinador é formado a partir de placa de aço em tubo SAW espiral em loop espiral. Este laço é soldado de fora e de dentro do tubo. Ampla gama de diâmetros, utilizando os diferentes processos de fabricação é produzida.

Para processos de baixa pressão, os tubos espirais SAW são usados. Para serviços de média ou alta pressão, são usados ​​tubos de serra reta. Os tubos em espiral são utilizados em comparação com os tubos retos.

O tratamento térmico é realizado após a soldagem em todo o corpo do tubo. Os tubos com costura soldada são então submetidos a muitos dos testes não destrutivos, como os testes UT e RT, de modo a fazer uso de que o material soldado é sólido.

Depois de concluídas, são submetidas a um teste hidrostático para verificar se têm a capacidade de apresentar uma vedação à prova de vazamentos sob pressão e resistência. Os tubos são então verificados dimensionalmente e visualmente por um engenheiro de inspeção competente como o último estágio do teste.

FAQ’s

What makes stainless steel real stainless?

Stainless steel contains around 10.5% chromium. This chromium then reacts with oxygen present in the air or surrounding to form a layer known as chrome-oxide layer which is invisible however strong so as to protect further oxygen. Higher chromium levels as well as alloy element addition like molybdenum and nickel improves surface layer. This is what improves corrosion resistance.

What causes difference between 18/10 and 18/8 stainless steel?

The very first element present in stainless steel is chromium i.e. 18 percentage chromium. The second element present in stainless steel in abundance is nickel i.e. around 8% nickels So, as the name given to 18/8 stainless steel. When the composition is higher the material possesses higher corrosion resistance. Both 18/10 and 18/8 contain nickel and belongs to “300 series”. The series 400 doesn’t exhibit corrosion resistance properties and is magnetic however 300 series is non magnetic.

Is it possible that stainless steel will get rust?

Stainless steel never rust, the regular steel gets red oxide over the surface of the pipe. The red rust is due to iron particle which gets contaminated over the stainless steel surface. The instructor can try solution of 2% hydrofluoric acid and 10% nitric acid at room temperature. Now the area must be washed.

Is there any difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel?

The 304 stainless steel has 18% chromium as well as 8% nickel. The 316 stainless steel contains 10% nickel, 16% chromium, and 2% molybdenum. In order to assist with corrosion molybdenum is added to it.

How magnetic stainless steel is?

Several or various stainless steel types are offered. The series belonging to 300 that contain nickel is purely non magnetic. Whereas the 400 series are magnetic as it contain no nickel but chromium.

What is “passivation”?

When chromium content exceeds around 10 ½% a layer of chrome oxide gets formed that protects oxygen diffusion on surface and a “passive” result can be obtained. It shows oxidation to resistance or corrosion. When 10% nitric acid and 2% hydrofluoric acid is dipped the passive oxide layer is developed.

Is it possible to weld stainless steel?

sim. Various stainless steel available from us can be welded. The welding procedure may be different compared to other carbon metal. The stainless could be welded using electrode or filler rod.

Is it possible to “hardened” stainless steel?

sim. Stainless steel with series 300 is easily “hardened” however it can’t be ‘work hardening”. That is why the material gets cold worked trough lighter gauges, and cold rolling down or “drawing” via die or altering operations Annealing of stainless steel help sin removing effect of work hardening. The 400 series contain two major stainless steel types. One is acknowledged as “Ferritic that has 430, 409, and 439 that can be hardened by conduct of heat. The other series is known as “martensitic” that has 403, 420, and 410 as basic grades.

What “L” designation implies in a grade?

The letter L after a particular grade such as 904L implies that that carbon content in the material is restricted to a max of 0.03%. The normal level has 0.08% max whereas it is 0.15% max. When welding is performed lower carbon level is used this assist in protecting chromium from getting depleted.

What is meant by stainless steel recycle content?
