welded pipe production line

Product Description 1. Introduction The steel pipe seam annealing machine is a key piece of heat treatment equipment in welded pipe production lines. It is primarily used to anneal the weld seam of steel pipes after welding, eliminating welding stress, improving microstructure, enhancing corrosion resistance, and extending service life. This equipment is especially suitable for continuous production of stainless steel pipes, titanium alloy pipes, and other high-requirement metal tubes. 2. Working Principle Induction Annealing Principle: Induction Heating : A high-frequency or medium-frequency power source generates an alternating magnetic field through induction coils, which induces eddy currents in the weld seam area, causing localized heating. Precise Temperature Control : Infrared pyrometers or thermocouples provide real-time closed-loop temperature control to maintain the weld seam at a set annealing temperature (typically 950°C–1100°C). Rapid Cooling : After heating, air or water cooling is applied to rapidly cool the seam, promoting the desired metallurgical transformation. 3. Basic Technical Data (Typical) Item Typical Range Applicable Pipe Diameter Φ10 mm ~ Φ168 mm Applicable Wall Thickness 0.4 mm ~ 5.0 mm Annealing Temperature Range 850°C ~ 1100°C Output Frequency (Power Source) 50 kHz ~ 400 kHz (customized per pipe size) Output Power 30 kW ~ 300 kW Line Speed Compatibility 10 ~ 120 m/min Heating Zone Length 100 mm ~ 300 mm (adjustable) Temperature Control Accuracy ±5°C Cooling Method Air cooling / Water cooling Control System PLC + HMI (touchscreen interface) 4. Main Components High- or Medium-Frequency Power Supply – Provides alternating current for induction heating. Induction Coil – Custom-designed (ring or U-type) to surround the weld seam. Support/Guiding Structure – Ensures pipe stability during the annealing process. Temperature Sensor – Infrared or thermocouple sensors for accurate weld temperature feedback. Cooling System – Air or water cooling units to rapidly reduce temperature. PLC Control System – Automates power, temperature, and speed adjustments. Human-Machine Interface (HMI) – Allows the operator to monitor and set parameters. 5. Operation Details Basic Operation Workflow: Startup Check cooling system, power, air, and water connections. Launch the PLC and input preset parameters: temperature, speed, power level. Heating Start Turn on the induction power; magnetic field is generated in the coil. Pipe is fed into the coil either automatically or manually. Real-Time Temperature Control Infrared thermometer monitors the weld seam; system adjusts power automatically to maintain set temperature. Cooling Process Weld seam enters the cooling zone for rapid temperature drop, forming desired microstructure. Shutdown & Safety After process completion, turn off the power and cooling in sequence. Inspect coils, grounding, and pipes to ensure safe conditions. Enter Section Equipments 1.
