Austenitic Stainless Steel and the Advantages of Bright Annealing
Austenitic stainless steel is widely used in various civil, industrial, and military applications. It is available in a wide range of product forms, including bars, rods, sheets, plates, strips, foils, pipes, tubes, fittings, flanges, and other forgings.
When stainless steel is heat-treated in a conventional furnace, the chromium content in austenitic stainless steel reacts with oxygen in the air, forming a gray oxide layer known as "scale." This layer must be removed through pickling processes.
Bright annealing offers several significant advantages as an alternative solution:
Improved Mechanical Properties Bright annealing not only reduces the hardness of stainless steel tubes but also enhances ductility and plasticity, making the material easier to machine and cold work.
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance and Surface Appearance By eliminating intergranular carbide precipitation, bright annealing improves corrosion resistance and delivers a visually appealing surface. It refines the grain structure and ensures uniform steel composition, thereby enhancing performance and preparing the material for subsequent processing.
Stress Relief Bright annealing eliminates residual internal stresses in the steel, reducing the risk of deformation and cracking.
Reduction of Oxidation and Decarburization Unlike conventional annealing, which involves oxidation and decarburization during heating and cooling, bright annealing avoids these effects. This minimizes metal loss and reduces additional processing costs.
Oxidation-Free, Corrosion-Resistant Surface Bright annealing produces a bright, oxidation-free surface with superior corrosion resistance. Conducted in a controlled atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen, this process prevents oxidation and chromium depletion, resulting in a surface with better corrosion resistance than 2B finishes polished to a similar level.
Retention of Surface Finish Bright annealing preserves the rolled surface's original smoothness, achieving a near-mirror finish. For most applications, this surface can be used directly without further processing.
Development of Specialty Patterned Surfaces Since the annealing process does not alter the steel's surface, bright annealing allows the retention of rolled patterns, facilitating the production of specialized cold-rolled patterned steel strips.
Environmentally Friendly Processing Bright annealing eliminates the need for acid pickling or similar treatments, avoiding the use of corrosive agents like acids and eliminating pollution associated with traditional pickling methods.
Bright annealing is a technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable heat treatment process, delivering superior product quality and contributing to more efficient manufacturing practices.
Every time the finishing tube is rolled, it must go through the process of solution treatment. Ta ensure that the performance of the steel pipe meets the technical requirements. and to provide guarantee for the post-process processing or use. Bright solution treatment process of ultra-long seamless steel pipe has always been a difficulty in the industry.
Traditional electric furnace equipment is large,covers a large area, has high energy consumption and large gas consumption, so it is difficult for realize bright solution process. After years of hard work and innovative development, the use of current advanced induction heating technology and DSP power supply. Precision control of heating temperature to ensure that the temperature is controlled within t2C,to solve the technical problem of inaccurate induction heating temperature control. The heated steel pipe is cooled by "heat conduction"in a special closed cooling tunnel, which greatly reduces the gas consumption and is more environmentally friendly.
