  • Publication number: 20230079323
    Abstract: An electric resistance welded steel pipe or tube comprises: a base metal being a steel sheet having a specific chemical composition and an electric resistance weld portion having a bond width of 40×10?6 m or more and 120×10?6 m or less, wherein C0-C1 is 0.05 mass % or less, where C0-C1 is a difference between C1 in mass % which is a minimum C content of the electric resistance weld portion and Co in mass % which is a C content of the steel sheet, and a depth of a total decarburized layer in each of an inner surface layer and an outer surface layer of the electric resistance welded steel pipe or tube is 50×10?6 m or less.

  • Patent number: 10308994
    Abstract: A seamless steel tube has a particular composition and a structure with an average prior ? grain size of 150 ?m or less in an axial cross-section after cold drawing and heat treatment. The structure retards the growth of a fatigue crack. The steel tube has a tensile strength TS of 500 MPa or more and good internal pressure fatigue resistance and is suitable for use as a fuel injection tube under high injection pressures. The composition of the steel tube may further contain at least one of Cu, Ni, Cr, Mo, and B; at least one of Ti, Nb, and V; and/or Ca.
