Stainless steel pipe fittings are an important pipe connection, widely used in petrochemical, food and medicine, shipbuilding and aviation and other fields. In order to obtain high-quality pipe connectors, fine processing techniques are required to ensure product quality. The following describes the processing technology of stainless steel pipe fittings according to the three aspects of processing flow, process requirements and quality control.
A) Processing flow
1. Heat treatment: anneal and solution treatment the welded pipes to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the pipe fittings;
2. Processing and forming: cutting, grinding, milling and other processes of stainless steel pipes through CNC machine tools and other equipment to form the shape of pipe fittings that meet the design requirements;
3. Surface treatment: process the appearance of stainless steel pipe fittings by polishing, sandblasting and other processes to improve the aesthetics and surface gloss of the product;
4. Inspection: inspect the appearance and size of the processed stainless steel pipe fittings to ensure the quality of the product.
B) Process requirements
1. Welding quality: The quality of the weld is crucial to the service life and safety of stainless steel pipe fittings, and it is necessary to ensure that the strength and sealing of the weld meet the requirements of the specification;
2. Processing accuracy: The dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the pipe fittings must meet the design requirements to ensure the normal operation and beautiful appearance of the pipeline;
3. Corrosion resistance of the surface: It is required that the surface of the processed pipe fittings has good corrosion resistance, is not easy to rust, and has a certain antifouling ability.
C) Quality control
1. During the heat treatment process, the temperature and time of annealing and solid solution should be controlled to achieve a suitable alloy structure and performance;
2. During processing and molding, it must be processed strictly according to the design requirements to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish;
3. Surface treatment should be carried out in strict accordance with the technical requirements of polishing and sandblasting to ensure surface smoothness and corrosion resistance;
4. After the inspection, the unqualified products should be dealt with in time, and the unqualified rate must be controlled within an extremely low range.
To sum up, the processing technology of stainless steel pipe fittings requires fine processing procedures, strict process requirements and effective quality control to ensure the stability and safety of product quality.
