Carbon steel pipe is made from steel ingot or solid round steel by perforation into the rough pipe, and then hot rolled, cold rolled, or cold drawn into a hollow steel pipe. It is commonly used in construction, machinery, petroleum, chemical, and other industries. As an important carrier for transporting materials and energy, the safety of steel pipes is directly related to the construction of your project.
Carbon steel is often divided into two main categories: low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. It may also contain other elements, such as manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, which can affect its properties. Carbon steel can be easily machined and welded, making it versatile for various applications. It can also be heat treated to improve its strength, hardness, and durability.
Carbon steel is susceptible to rust and corrosion, especially in environments with high moisture levels and/or salt. It can be shielded from corrosion by coating it with paint, varnish, or other protective material. Alternatively, it can be made from a stainless steel alloy that contains chromium, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. Carbon steel can be alloyed with other elements to improve its properties, such as by adding chromium and/or nickel to improve its resistance to corrosion and oxidation or adding molybdenum to improve its strength and toughness at high temperatures.
