  • Patent number: 11504797
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electric resistance welded metal pipe by butting side ends of a metal strip against each other and then welding the side ends by high frequency heating to manufacture an electric resistance welded metal pipe, each side end being provided with an inner surface side corner portion located on an inner surface side of the electric resistance welded metal pipe, the method includes a step of forming an inclined surface at the inner surface side corner portion before butting the side ends of the metal strip, and wherein the side ends are butted and welded to each other such that the inclined surface remains on an excess metal of the metal pipe after electric resistance welding and a discharged metal is not welded to the excess metal.

  • Patent number: 10208368
    Abstract: A cold-rolled steel plate having favorable heat spot resistance and favorable antiwear performance is provided. The cold-rolled steel plate has a chemical composition containing C from 0.03 to 0.12%, Si from 0 to 1.0% (including a case where Si is not added), Mn from 0.2 to 0.8%, P at 0.03% or less (excluding a case where P is not added), S at 0.03% or less (excluding a case where S is not added), Ti from 0.04 to 0.3%, and Al at 0.05% or less (excluding a case where Al is not added). A residue is formed of Fe and unavoidable impurities. Each element satisfies a relationship of 5*C %?Si %+Mn %?1.5*Al %<1 within the aforementioned range of the corresponding content. An average diameter of particles of a Ti-based carbide is from 20 to 100 nm. In this way, the Ti-based carbide is dispersed finely and uniformly, thereby enhancing heat spot resistance and antiwear performance.
