Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of the conventional technique that the equipment length of a heat treatment apparatus increases, and an enormous running cost is necessitated, resulting in nonefficient electro-resistance welded tube manufacture. SOLUTION: The heat treatment apparatus for subjecting a welding area of the electro-resistance welded tube constituted by welding unwelded seam part 21 of an open tube 20 by an electro-resistance welding equipment 1 to heat treatment on an outlet side of an electro-resistance welding equipment, is provided with an external surface side induction heating means 2 having a plurality of induction heating stands 13 arranged on an external surface side of the tube in a material passage direction, and an internal surface side induction heating means 3 having a plurality of magnetic flux generation units 4 held with bars 6 on an internal surface side of the tube and arranged in a material passage direction.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat treatment method of an electric resistance welded pipe for performing heat treatment after a welded part determined by using a temperature distribution in the vicinity of the welded part, when performing the heat treatment of the welded part of the electric resistance welded pipe.SOLUTION: In an electric resistance welded tube production line disposed of a heat treatment apparatus with a plurality of inductors in a downstream side of a bead trimmer, the heat treatment of a welded part after bead cutting is performed by the heat treatment apparatus. In that case, the position of the welded part in a steel pipe exterior surface is determined, based on temperature distribution of the steel pipe exterior surface in the vicinity of the welded part after the bead cutting and after the heat treatment. Then the inductors of the heat treatment apparatus are controlled so as to follow after the welded part.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for stably mass-producing electric resistance welded steel tubes superior in low temperature toughness.SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the electric resistance welded tube includes forming a steel band, which contains 0.03-0.15% of C, 0.5% or less of Si, and 0.5-2.0% of Mn, in mass%, and further contains one or more selected from 0.1% or less of Nb, 0.1% or less of Ti and 0.1% or less of V, into a substantially tube-like open-tube, then butting and welding both edges of the open-tube. In the method, after giving tapers on both an outer surface side and an inner surface side of both the edges of the open-tube, electric-resistance welding is performed in an upset amount of 40-75% of steel band thickness. Thereafter, the welded outer surface after electric resistance welding is heated up to 960-1,250°C and cooled at a cooling rate of 10-50°C/sec from a temperature of 880°C or higher to 200-450°C, and then reheated to 500-780°C to be tempered as a series of heat treatment.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of not sufficiently improving buckling resistance property of an electric resistance welded tube by conventional technology. SOLUTION: In the manufacturing method of the electric resistance welded tube, a steel strip is roll formed while it is being passed, both abutted ends of the strip in a width direction are electric-resistance-welded to form a tube 10, heat treatment is applied to an electric resistance welded area, and then the tube is straightened. When straightening the tube, a rotary straightening machine 8 is used wherein the interval of the roll groove bottoms of at least one set of upper and lower rolls of the rotary straightening machine is made to be less than a tube outer diameter.
