  • Patent number: 7293443
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a seamless pipe, capable of preventing the carburization phenomenon that occurs in a manufacturing process of pipe and simplifying an elongation rolling process, is provided. In this method, after piercing in the piercing rolling process, rolling is performed without using an inside regulating tool in the elongation rolling process, or without performing the elongation rolling followed by reducing rolling in a reducing rolling process, and thickening is then performed by use of a cold mill or cold draw bench in a cold rolling process. According to this method, the trap of graphite fine particles in the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe that took place in the conventional elongation rolling process can be minimized to prevent the carburization of the pipe. The method of the present invention is effective, particularly as a measure for preventing the carburization of an ultra-low carbon stainless steel or high alloy steel.

  • Patent number: 5004143
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a clad bar and is basically characterized in that a columnar core member is fitted in a cylindrical outside layer member and the resulting assembly is heated, and then the heated assembly is rolled by a rotary mill provided with three or more cone type rolls to integrate the core member and the outside layer member by diffusion bending. The method is additionally characterized in that, in order to prevent unnecessary substances, such as oxides, from being formed on an interface between the core member and the outside layer member, the assembly is sealed at both ends thereof under reduced pressure or under vacuum or the assembly is cold drawn, the assembly thus welded or cold drawn is then heated and subsequently rolled by a rotary mill. Thus, an intermetallic compound layer formed between the core member and the outside layer member can be thinned, whereby improving bond strength.
