There is no denying that steels is playing an

Literally, it's a kind of steel tube without any seams on its surface and is made by steel following the procedures of rolling, drawing, extrusion or perforation. And the widely used steel tubes include stainless steel seamless tube, seamless steel tube, Cold drawn seamless tube, precision seamless steel tubes, etc. Owing to its perfect mechanical properties, seamless steel tube is considerably used in construction, electric, petroleum, chemical, boilers, power plants, ships, machinery manufacturing, automotive, aviation, aerospace, energy, geology, construction and military sectors. After the brief introduction of seamless steel tube above, here come the 5 tips to protect it from getting rusty.

Stored in open storage, it's inevitable that the pipes are exposed to wind and rain which precisely provides the needed factors to create rust. So it may be necessary to get pipes covered under tarpaulins to reduce its exposure to moist air. We call this process as a safeguard.

If the rust is inevitable, in other words, the pipes have got too much rust that would cause disastrous consequences to its mechanical properties; rust removal has to be conducted. Solvents and emulsions can be used to remove the organic matters like oil, grease, dust and lubricants.

However, to get the rust, scale and welding flux removed, we have got to turn to some other tools, like wire brush, to polish the steeling appearance.

Sand blasting. It is a method to remove rust by using abrasive grit, steeling shot, wire segment, minerals and other abrasives to polish the steeling appearance under the centrifugal force provided by the high-speed rotation of the blades. This kind of rust removal method is currently considerably used in the steeling - making area since such process can completely remove rust, oxides and dirt as well as reaching the requirements for uniform roughness, that's to say, the possibility of producing precision seamless steel tubes does exist. What's more, a practicable, advanced rust removal robot of sand blast was successfully designed so that sand - blasting has come to a thoroughly new and practicable era.

Complete removal of rust and mill scale can be achieved by acid pickling, duplex picking or electrolytic pickling. On the contrary to the above solutions, such is a kind of chemical way. However, chemical cleaning will easily cause environmental pollution even though it can make the required cleanliness and roughness achieved. Rust removal of seamless steel tube is of great importance to the suppliers and the consumers. And it can be surely achieved as long as we take the appearance disposal seriously.
