API 5L seamless steel pipe is made of a whole round steel perforated. According to the production method, seamless steel pipes can be divided into hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, extruded seamless steel pipes, jacked pipes, etc.
Steel pipe manufacturers introduce to you API 5L black seamless steel pipes that can be painted?
1. Can API 5L black steel pipe be painted?
Spray painting is a common surface treatment used to protect and beautify black steel pipes. Painting can help prevent steel pipes from rusting, slow corrosion, improve appearance quality, and adapt to specific environmental conditions.During the production process of black steel pipes, problems such as rust and dirt may occur on the surface, and spray painting can effectively solve these problems. At the same time, spray paint can make the surface of the steel pipe smoother, improve its durability and aesthetics, and extend its service life.
At the same time, galvanizing black piping is also a common anti-corrosion method. Galvanizing is a method of electrochemical treatment on metal surfaces. By attaching zinc ions to the metal surface, a layer of zinc coating is formed to achieve anti-corrosion, anti-corrosion, wear-resistant, and other effects. The basic principle of galvanizing is to use an electrolysis reaction to reduce zinc ions from the solution to the metal surface, forming a tightly bonded coating with the substrate.
2. Cleaning the API 5L black tubes with before painting
Before painting the black pipe, you should use an electric rotating wire brush to remove rust. First, clean up the residual oil on the surface of the black pipe, then use a hammer or wire brush and waste grinding wheel to remove the serious thick rust and welding slag, and then use a scraper, emery cloth, and coarse rags to remove scale, iron rust, and other dirt. If there are oil stains, use a cleaning agent to clean them.
Use a wire brush to polish the angles, back angles, dead ends of the crossbars, and other parts in both directions multiple times. After cleaning, the surface will be clean and free of dirt. The level of rust removal should comply with ST2.5 standards. There should be no visible grease and dirt on the surface of the object to be coated, and no loosely adhered oxide scale, rust, and paint coating; the relative humidity of the atmospheric environment on the surface should be greater than 85%, and the metal surface temperature should not be lower than the dew point temperature of 3°C.
API 5L seamless steel pipe are rolled by ordinary carbon structural steel, low-alloy structural steel or alloy structural steel, with the largest output, and are mainly used as pipelines or structural parts for conveying fluids.
