In addition, Q420D steel also has good corrosion resistance, and its service life can be further improved by surface treatment (such as galvanizing, painting, etc.).

Second, the production process of Q420D straight seam welded steel pipe

The production process of Q420D straight seam welded steel pipe mainly includes steel plate pretreatment, forming, welding, sizing, straightening, cutting, inspection, and other links. The following is a brief introduction to the main production process:

1. Steel plate pretreatment: First, the Q420D steel plate is pretreated by leveling and cutting to ensure that the surface of the steel plate is flat and defect-free and that the size meets the requirements.

2. Forming: The steel plate is rolled into a tube by a forming machine. The forming angle and pressure must be strictly controlled during the forming process to ensure the geometric size accuracy of the pipe.

3. Welding: Use high-frequency welding or submerged arc welding to weld the seams of the tube into a tube. High-frequency welding is suitable for thin-walled tubes, with fast welding speed and high efficiency; submerged arc welding is suitable for thick-walled tubes, with stable weld quality and high strength.

4. Sizing and straightening: The welded steel pipe needs to be calibrated by a sizing machine, and then the welding stress is eliminated by a straightening machine to ensure the straightness and roundness of the steel pipe.

5. Cutting and inspection: Cut the steel pipe into specified lengths according to customer needs, and perform appearance inspection, size inspection, mechanical property testing, etc. to ensure that the product quality meets the standards.

Third, the application field of Q420D straight seam welded steel pipe

Q420D straight seam welded steel pipe is widely used in the following fields due to its high strength, good welding performance, and low-temperature toughness:
