Carbon steel tube hardness test: Overview: Carbon steel tube is a common metal material. Its hardness refers to its ability to resist local plastic deformation. It is generally tested by Rockwell Hardness or Brinell Hardness. The results obtained by different hardness testing methods will be slightly different, but they can all reflect the hardness of carbon steel tubes. Carbon steel pipe hardness testing method: 1. The Rockwell hardness testing method (LHRB) uses a diamond or ball cone tip to calculate the material hardness value by applying pressure on the surface of the material. 2. The Brinell hardness testing method (BHB) uses a steel ball with a hardness of 3000kgf to exert pressure on the surface of the material to obtain the hardness value. 3. The Vickers hardness testing method (VHN) uses a diamond cone with a certain geometric shape. After applying force, the hardness is calculated based on the size of the indentation. Factors affecting carbon steel tube hardness: 1. ... Continue reading →

What is seamless steel pipe? Seamless pipe (SMLS) is a steel product that does not have any welding process during its processing. It has the advantages of uniform texture and good mechanical properties, so it is widely used in high-temperature, high-pressure, low-temperature and low-pressure pipeline transportation in petroleum, chemical industry, light industry, metallurgy and other fields.   The materials of seamless steel pipes are divided into various types such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc., and the surface treatments include black paint coating, zinc coating, etc. Seamless carbon steel pipe is made of carbon steel. It is made of steel ingots or solid tube blanks that are perforated into capillary tubes, and then hot-rolled, cold-rolled or cold-drawn. Seamless carbon steel pipes play an important role in my country's steel pipe industry. What is a groove connection? Groove connection is a new type of pipe connection, also called ...
