A seamless bend is a common pipe connector used to connect two pipes in a pipe system and change the direction of the pipe. Its production process needs to go through multiple processes, and each process needs strict quality control to ensure the reliability and stability of the final product. The following will give you a detailed introduction to the production process standards of seamless elbows.
1. Material preparation
Seamless elbows are usually made of carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other metal materials. Before the production process begins, the raw materials that meet the requirements of the standard need to be prepared first. The quality and chemical composition of the material play a decisive role in the performance of the final product, so the selection and procurement of materials must be carried out in strict accordance with the relevant standards.
2. Hot processing
The production of seamless elbow usually adopts hot processing technology, mainly including hot extrusion and hot bending two processes. In the hot extrusion process, the raw material is heated and placed in a mold for extrusion so that it forms a tube. In the hot bending process, the extruded tubular material is heated and then bent on the common equipment to form the shape of a bend.
3. Cold processing
