Welded stainless steel pipes, as an important metal pipe, are widely used in fields such as construction, petrochemicals, power, and aerospace. As an advanced welding technology, its application can be traced back to the 1950s. With the continuous expansion of the application range of stainless steel materials, the welding stainless steel pipe industry has experienced rapid development.
Welding technique
Argon arc welding technology. Argon arc welding technology is one of the traditional welding methods, which is suitable for fields with high requirements for weld quality. Although argon arc welding technology is relatively mature, its application in some special fields is relatively limited due to the relatively slow welding speed.
High-frequency induction welding technology. High frequency induction welding technology is currently one of the widely used welding methods, which has the advantages of fast welding speed and high weld quality. The widespread application of this technology has improved welding efficiency and reduced production costs.
Other emerging welding technologies. With the advancement of technology, some emerging welding technologies continue to emerge, such as laser welding, plasma arc welding, etc. The application of these technologies will bring more possibilities to the welding of stainless steel pipes industry. But currently, these emerging technologies are still in the exploratory stage, and commercial application still requires time.
