Abstract:
With a powdered lubricant composition by the invention, in addition to the blending of one of anhydrous, pentahydrate or decahydrate salt in sodium borate and one of sodium or calcium salt of fat acid, mixing calcium or lithium carbonate as an auxiliary lubricant can prevent sodium borate (Na2B4O7), solidified as amorphous after a tube-making process, from moisture absorbance, drying and crystallization to thereby suppress the formation of Na2B4O7.5H2O on inside surfaces of finished-product tubes, thus enabling to circumvent occurrence of the white scales. Concurrently, they provide good diffusivity toward the working surface of workpiece, thus enabling to prolong a life of the mandrel bar and to widely be adopted as the most suitable powdered lubricant for manufacturing seamless tubes by Mandrel Mill rolling.

Abstract:
In applying a non-graphite-based lubricant composed of, by mass %, 10 to 70% of an oxide-based lamellar compound and 30 to 90% of boric acid onto a mandrel bar, the lubricant film thickness is set from a predetermined master curve for the lubricant film thickness corresponding to an amount of mica. This stably produces a seamless steel pipe of high quality, while preventing seizing marks and internal flaws.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a lubricant for hot metal working which is capable of inhibiting generation of white scale, attributed to the lubricant, on the surface of a workpiece material and is capable of improving lubricity to obtain favorable appearance of the finished product. The lubricant for hot metal working comprises a silicate compound used for adding to a lubricant composition mainly containing sodium borate.
Abstract:
A process for producing seamless pipes which comprises conducting a piercing rolling step, a elongating rolling step using a mandrel bar, and a sizing rolling step and subsequently conducting a product heat treatment. In the process, when the carbon-equivalent weight, namely the sum of the weight of graphite in the lubricant and the carbon content in the organic binder, per unit area of the lubricant adhering to the mandrel bar surface in the above-mentioned step of elongating rolling is expressed by C (g/m2) or the maximum extent of carburization in the inner surface of the pipe to be heat-treated but prior to the heat treatment is expressed by ΔC (% by mass), the heating temperature for the pipe to be heat-treated is expressed by T (° C.), and the time during which a decarburizing gas is blown into the inside of the pipe to be heat-treated is expressed by t1 or t2 (seconds), and further, the blowing time calculated taking into account the wall thickness reduction in the step of cold working is expressed by t3 or t4 (seconds), a predetermined relation is satisfied and the actual decarburizing gas blowing time in the heat treatment is longer than the time t1, t2, t3 or t4 (seconds), whereby seamless stainless steel pipes reduced in carburized layer formation can be produced even when the carbon adhesion to the pipe inner surface is caused in, for example, mandrel mill rolling.

A method for surface treating a mandrel bar used for hot rolling of high-alloy seamless steel pipe is provided. The method includes heat treating the mandrel bar to develop a scale, and after heat treatment, rolling ordinary steel comprising 8% or less of chromium for at least 50 passes. This achieves a mandrel bar for rolling high-alloy steel possessing both durability and superior resistance to seizure
Abstract:
A process for stainless-steel pipe production which comprises piercing rolling a raw material stainless steel containing, by mass, Cr: 10-30%, to give a hollow shell, elongating rolling the hollow shell using a mandrel bar, together with a graphite-free lubricant, to give a finishing rolling blank pipe and heating the blank pipe in a reheating furnace and subjecting the same to finishing rolling by sizing rolling to produce a hot-finished pipe, and then subjecting this pipe as a mother pipe to cold working to produce a stainless-steel pipe. In the reheating furnace, the finishing rolling blank pipe is heated to 1000° C. or more and subjected to heating in which an oxidizing gas is blown into the pipe inside, whereby a stainless-steel pipe which is inhibited from forming a carburized layer in the pipe inner surface can be produced. When the finishing rolling by sizing rolling to give a cold working mother pipe is carried out by stretch reducer rolling at 860-1050° C., an annealing heat treatment of the mother pipe for cold working can be omitted. Thus, a stainless-steel pipe having excellent surface quality can be efficiently produced.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an application method of a Cr-plated mandrel bar repeatedly used in mandrel mill rolling by the Mannesmann tube making process. A regeneration treatment is performed to use the mandrel bar again as a tool of like size when an opening width H of a surface defect generated on the mandrel bar by its use in the mandrel mill rolling is not less than 1.5 mm and a depth of the surface defect is in the range of 0.3 mm to less than 2.0 mm. Alternatively, a downsizing treatment is performed to use the mandrel bar again as a tool of a smaller size when the depth of the surface defect generated on the mandrel bar by its use in the mandrel mill rolling is not less than 2.0 mm. The regeneration treatment or downsizing treatment is performed according to conditions or a configuration of the surface defect to achieve repeated application to the mandrel mill rolling, allowing life-extension of the mandrel bar and improvement of cost performance thereof.
Abstract:
A process for producing a seamless steel pipe, in which the occurrence of inner surface flaws in the pipe can be reduced through the lowering of the friction coefficient during the elongation rolling by means of a mandrel mill is provided. The reduction of inner surface flaws is accomplished through the use of a lubricant composed mainly of either or both of graphite and mica coated to the surface of a mandrel bar, and another lubricant composed mainly of an alkali metal borate that is applied onto the inner surface of the hollow stock pipe. The temperature of the pipe prior to receiving the lubricant, during lubricant application, and prior to elongation rolling is controlled. The time between descaling or piercing and lubricant application and between lubricant application and elongation rolling is also controlled.
