Common Application Fields of Carbon Steel Tubes

Carbon steel tube is a tube made of carbon steel. It is mainly composed of iron and carbon, and the carbon content determines its strength and toughness. Common ones are ordinary carbon steel tube and high-quality carbon steel tube. Carbon steel tubes have good processing performance, are easy to cut and weld, and can meet different construction and manufacturing requirements. However, they are relatively weak in corrosion resistance. When used in special environments, they generally need to be treated with anti-corrosion to extend their service life. Due to its low cost, it is widely used in industrial and civil fields. In construction projects, it is often used as a water and gas pipeline; in machinery manufacturing, it is used to build the structural frame of various machines.

Common application fields of carbon steel tubes:

1. Construction field
In the construction field, carbon steel is mainly used in building structures and reinforced concrete formwork. Carbon steel tubes have the characteristics of high strength, good rigidity, and light weight, and can withstand greater pressure and weight. Therefore, it is widely used in building structures. For example, carbon steel pipes are used in long-span bridges, the skeleton of high-rise buildings, and indoor furniture.

2. Bridge field
Carbon steel tubes are widely used in bridges due to their high strength. For example, long-span steel arch bridges, suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are all made of carbon steel. Carbon steel tubes can also be used to make parts such as bridge bases and towers to withstand large loads and resist the threat of natural disasters.

3.Automotive field
Carbon steel tubes are widely used in the automotive field. Components such as car bodies, wheels and engines are made of carbon steel. Because carbon steel has the characteristics of high strength, good toughness, and easy processing, it can meet the requirements for strength and hardness of components in automobile manufacturing. In addition, during the automobile manufacturing process, the wear and precision requirements for the materials used in various parts are also very high, and carbon steel meets these requirements.

4. Mechanical field

In the mechanical field, carbon steel tubes are used to manufacture parts and bearings for various machines. Because carbon steel has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and rigidity, it is very suitable for manufacturing large machines, heavy machinery and agricultural machinery. In addition, carbon steel can also be used to manufacture various forgings, gears and tools.

5. Petroleum field
As a pipeline material for transporting fluids such as oil and natural gas, carbon steel pipes have the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high pressure resistance.

In short, carbon steel is a very commonly used metal material and is widely used in construction, bridges, automobiles, machinery and other fields. Whether in heavy industry or in daily life, we can see the shadow of carbon steel tubes.

Tips: ERW welded pipe is formed by rolling strip and welding the seam, with tighter dimensional tolerances and less weight. The weld seam is heat treated after welding that no untempered martensite remains, and the weld flash can be removed from both inner and outer surfaces. ASTM A53 ERW tube is a typical carbon steel tube. It is largely used to convey fluids at low / medium pressures such as oil, gas, steam, water, air and also for mechanical applications.
