Precision stainless steel tube heat treatment process
Precise stainless steel pipe refers to stainless steel pipes with austenitic organization in normal temperature. Stainless steel tubes contain about 0.1% C, 18% Cr, 8% ~ 10% Ni, with stable austenite organization. Common heat treatment technologies are: solution treatment, stabilizing treatment and stress relief treatment. Solution treatment Heat precise stainless steel pipes to 1050-1150 degrees Celsius and then water quenching, making carbon dissolved in stainless steel and keep the state in room temperature, which is a method of heat treatment to prevent the intergranular corrosion and corrosion resistance of the steel will be improved greatly. For thin-walled precise stainless steel pipes, generally water cooling is adopted as well as air cooling. Stabilizing treatment Stabilizing treatment is commonly carried out after solution treatment. Heat precise stainless steel pipe to 850-880 degrees Celsius and perform air cooling after heat preservation, Cr carbide...
