Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a metallic pipe free from infiltration of water and corrosion from a weld zone by forming a metal plate into tubular shape, welding the resulting abutting zone, and then coating the resulting weld zone with a metallic thermally sprayed layer of a metal (alloy) of the same substance as the above metal plate by a low-temp. arc spraying method. CONSTITUTION:A stainless steel plate 1 as a metal plate is subjected to continuous roll forming and formed into tubular shape, and an arc welding machine 2 ts disposed above the resulting abutting zone 1a to continuously form a weld zone 3. A low-temp. arc spraying machine 4 is disposed on the downstream side of the above welding machine 2, and stainless steel is thermally sprayed onto the surface of the weld zone 3 to continuously form a stainless-steel thermally sprayed layer 5. By this method, pinholes in the above weld zone 3 can be practically perfectly sealed, by which the metallic pipe free from infiltration of water through the weld zone 3 and also free from corrosion in the weld zone 3 can be produced with a precision obviating the necessity of quality inspection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing metal pipes, and more specifically,
To manufacture a metal pipe that is formed by a roll forming method and manufactured by welding the abutted parts, in which pinhole defects in the welded parts are prevented and moisture intrusion and corrosion of the welded parts do not occur. Regarding the method.

(Prior Art) Various methods are used to manufacture metal pipes, and among these methods there is a roll forming method. In this method, a metal plate material of a predetermined width is fed into a group of roll dies in which forming dies with successively smaller curvature radii are arranged in multiple stages to form it into a pipe shape. This method involves welding and joining the extended butt portions.

(This is a problem that the invention aims to solve!!!) By the way, for the above-mentioned metal pipes and metal coverings, one thing that should be noted in terms of quality control is structural defects in the welded parts. If present, these defects can allow moisture to enter the vibrator or cause electrochemical corrosion of the weld, which can be fatal for submarine cables, for example. This becomes a problem.

Therefore, in general, manufactured metal pipes, especially their welded parts, are subjected to strict quality inspections. In this case, if the metal pipe is a short product, the inspection area of the welded part is also short, so it is possible for the operator to check all the pipes by, for example, a non-destructive deep damage test using X-rays.

The present invention substantially completely eliminates the existence of structural defects including pinholes in the welded part, thereby improving the characteristics of the welded part to such an extent that there is no need to perform the above-mentioned complicated and difficult quality inspections. The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing metal pipes.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a metal plate is formed into a pipe shape by a roll forming method, and then the abutting portions are welded to form a welded portion. Then, there is provided a method for manufacturing a metal pipe, characterized in that the welded portion is coated with a metal sprayed layer made of the same metal or alloy as the metal plate by a low-temperature arc spraying method.

In the method of the present invention, first, as conventionally done, a metal plate made of a predetermined material is roll-formed to form a pipe-shaped body, and then the abutted portions are welded to form a pipe. The welding method at this time is TIG,
There is no limitation in any way as long as it is a conventionally applied method such as MIG.

Next, a metal sprayed layer is formed on the welded portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the pipe by a low-temperature arc spraying method, which will be described later. At this time, the metal sprayed layer is formed so as to spread to cover the entire surface of the welded part. This is because if the entire surface of the welded part is not covered, the effects described below regarding the metal sprayed layer will not be exhibited.

The low-temperature arc spraying method referred to in the present invention is a method of spraying fine particles of molten metal (or alloy) onto an object to be sprayed at a low temperature to form a metal spray layer. An arc discharge is generated between two wire-shaped electric poles, and the fine particles of molten metal (or alloy) and vaporized metal (or alloy) generated at this time are transferred to the air flowing at high speed around the outer circumference of the fine particles of molten metal (or alloy). This is a method of forming the desired metal spray layer by moving the fine particles at high speed in the direction of the object to be thermally sprayed by a flow, and in the process, blowing the fine particles, which are rapidly cooled, onto the object to be thermally sprayed and welding them thereto.

At this time, the size of the fine particles sprayed, the spray flow rate, the thickness of the sprayed layer, etc. are determined by the arc discharge conditions at that time, the temperature, pressure and velocity of the air flow, the spray time, the spray opening and the sprayed layer. It can be controlled as appropriate depending on the distance from the body.

The metal sprayed layer formed at this time is made of the same metal (or alloy) as the metal plate material used. If the material is different, there is a possibility that an electrochemical corrosion phenomenon will occur at the welded interface with the pipe, and as a result, corrosion of the pipe will progress.

As mentioned above, this metal spray layer is formed as an aggregated film of fine particles, so even if there are structural defects such as pinholes in the weld, the fine particles can almost completely eliminate these structural defects. This will seal the weld tissue defects. In order to fully exhibit such effects, it is preferable to set thermal spraying conditions during low-temperature arc spraying so that the particle size of the sprayed metal is from several tens to several hundreds of micrometers.

In addition, the thickness of the metal sprayed layer is not particularly limited, but it should be set to a minimum thickness that can completely isolate the structural defects of the welded part from the outside, so that the above-mentioned effect can be exerted. Set.
