Delivery

Steel pipe delivery status(condition)

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).

Condition on delivery of steel pipe

Term Symbol Explanation
Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn) BK No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability.
Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) BKW After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing). With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits.
Annealed GBK After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.
Normalized NBK The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

The general cold strip mills, volume should go through continuous annealing (CAPL unit) to eliminate cold hardening and rolling stress, or batch annealing reach the mechanical properties of the corresponding standard specifies. Cold rolled steel surface quality, appearance, dimensional accuracy better than hot-rolled plate, and right-rolled thin product thickness is about 0.18mm, so the majority of users favor.

Cold rolled steel coil substrate products deep processing of high value-added products. Such as electro-galvanized, hot dip galvanized, electro-galvanized fingerprint resistant, painted steel roll damping composite steel, PVC laminating steel plates, etc., so that the excellent quality of these products has a beautiful, high resistance to corrosion, has been widely used.

Cold rolled steel coil finishing after annealing, cut the head, tail, trimming, flattening, smooth, heavy volume, or longitudinal clipboard. Cold-rolled products are widely used in automobile manufacturing, household electrical appliances, instruments, switches, buildings, office furniture and other industries. Steel plate strapping package weight of 3 to 5 tons. Flat sub-volume typically 3 to 10 tons / volume. Coil diameter 6m.

There are probably hundreds of different methods for packing a pipe, and most of them have merit, but there are two principles that are vital for any method to work: prevent rusting and sea transportation security.

Steel strips bundling for fixed pipes

  • Plastic caps plugged at the two sides of pipe ends
  • Avoid damage caused by steel strapping during transportation
  • Bundled signs should be uniform and consistent
  • The same bundle(batch) of steel pipe shall come from the same furnace.
  • The steel pipe shall have the same furnace number, steel grade and specifications.

Our packing can meet any needs of the customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alloy steels are made by combining carbon steel with one or several alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum. These metals are added to produce specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel. The elements are added in varying proportions (or combinations) making the material take on different aspects such as increased hardness, increased corrosion resistance, increased strength, improved formability (ductility); the weldability can also change.

  • Increased hardenability.

  • Increased corrosion resistance.

  • Retention of hardness and strength.

  • Nearly all alloy steels require heat treatment in order to bring out their best properties.

Alloying elements are added to steel to enhance mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance.

  • Chromium – Adds hardness. Increased toughness and wear resistance.

  • Cobalt – Used in making cutting tools; improved Hot Hardness (or Red Hardness).

  • Manganese – Increases surface hardness. Improves resistance to strain, hammering & shocks.

  • Molybdenum – Increases strength. Improves resistance to shock and heat.

  • Nickel – Increases strength & toughness. Improves corrosion resistance.

  • Tungsten – Adds hardness and improves grain structure. Provides improved heat resistance.

  • Vanadium – Increases strength, toughness and shock resistance. Improved corrosion resistance.

  • Chromium-Vanadium – Greatly improved tensile strength. It is hard but easy to bend and cut.
