Specification
Grade 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used material of seamless stainless steel pipes, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. for these applications it is common to use special "304DDQ" (Deep Drawing Quality) variants. Grade 304 is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of components for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. Grade 304 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections.

Process
1.1. Hot-rolled stainless steel seamless pipes are generally produced on automatic pipe rolling mills. The solid tube is inspected and cleaned of surface defects, cut to the required length, centered on the perforated end of the tube, and then sent to the heating furnace for heating and piercing on the punching machine. When the perforation continues to rotate and advance at the same time, under the action of the roller and the plug, a cavity is gradually formed inside the tube blank, which is called a capillary tube. And then sent to the automated rolling mill to continue rolling. Finally, the whole wall thickness is uniformed for the whole machine, and the diameter is sizing by the sizing machine to meet the specifications. The use of continuous tube rolling mills to produce hot rolled seamless steel tubes is a more advanced method.
1.2. If you want to obtain seamless pipes with smaller size and better quality, cold rolling, cold drawing or a combination of the two methods must be used. Cold rolling is usually carried out on a two-high rolling mill. The steel pipe is rolled in an annular pass formed by a variable cross-section circular hole groove and a stationary tapered plug. Cold drawing is usually carried out on a single-chain or double-chain cold drawing machine of 0.5-100T.
1.3. The extrusion method is to put the heated tube blank in a closed extrusion cylinder, and the perforated rod and the extrusion rod move together to extrude the extruded part of the smaller die hole. This method can produce steel pipes with smaller diameters.
This kind of steel pipe can be divided into two categories: stainless steel seamless steel pipe and stainless steel welded steel pipe (seam pipe). According to the different manufacturing process, it can be: hot-rolled, extruded, cold drawn and cold-rolled. The shape can be divided into round pipes and special-shaped pipes. Round steel pipes are widely used, but there are also some special-shaped stainless steel pipes such as square, rectangular, semicircular, hexagonal, equilateral triangle, and octagonal.
