Abstract:
The present invention provides a steel pipe excellent in formability during hydraulic forming and the like and a method to produce the same, and more specifically: a steel pipe excellent in formability having an r-value of 1.4 or larger in the axial direction of the steel pipe, and the property that the average of the ratios of the X-ray intensity in the orientation component group of null110null to null332null on the plane at the center of the steel pipe wall thickness to the random X-ray intensity is 3.5 or larger, and/or the ratio of the X-ray intensity in the orientation component of null110null on the plane at the center of the steel pipe wall thickness to the random X-ray intensity is 5.0 or larger; and a method to produce a steel pipe excellent in formability characterized by heating the steel pipe having the property that the ratio of the X-ray intensity in every one of the orientation components of null001null , null116null , null114null and null112null on the plane at the center of the mother pipe wall thickness to the random X-ray intensity is 3 or smaller to a temperature in the range from 650 to 1,200null C. and by applying working under a condition of a diameter reduction ratio of 30% or more and a wall thickness reduction ratio of 5 to 30%.
