2. Description of the Related Art Welded steel pipes are formed by forming a steel plate or a steel strip into a tube and welding the seams thereof, and are made by various manufacturing methods from a small diameter to a large diameter.
Examples include electric resistance welding (electric resistance welding), forge welding, and electric arc welding. For small to medium diameter steel pipes, an electric resistance welding method (electric resistance welded steel pipe, electric resistance welded pipe) utilizing high frequency induction heating is mainly used. In this method, a steel strip is continuously supplied, formed into a tubular shape with a forming roll to form an open pipe, and then the end faces of both edges of the open pipe are heated by high-frequency induction heating to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the steel. (See, for example, the third edition of the Iron and Steel Handbook, Vol. III (2), 1056-10).

In the above-described method of manufacturing an electric resistance welded tube utilizing high frequency induction heating, since the end surfaces of both edges of the open tube are heated to the melting point of the steel or higher, the molten steel flows under the influence of electromagnetic force, and the generated oxidation occurs. An object is caught in the abutment weld and welding defects such as penetrators or molten steel scatter (flash)
There is a problem that is easy to occur. For this issue,
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-299782 proposes a method for manufacturing an electric resistance welded steel pipe having two heating devices. The first heating device heats the temperature of both side edges of the open tube to the Curie point or higher, and the second heating device further heats to the melting point or higher.
A steel pipe is manufactured by butt welding both edges with a squeeze roll. Also, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-299832, a current having a frequency of 45 to 250 kHz is passed by a first heating device to preheat both side edges, and further heated to a melting point or higher by a second heating device and squeezed by a squeeze roll. There has been proposed an electric resistance welded pipe manufacturing apparatus which manufactures a steel pipe by abutting both edges.

[0004] However, although these electric resistance welded pipe manufacturing techniques suggest that the edges are uniformly heated, since both edges are heated to the melting point of the steel or higher, the molten steel is hardened at the time of impact welding. Is discharged to the inner and outer surfaces of the tube to form a bead. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the weld bead on the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe after the impact welding, and most of the bead is removed by cutting with a bead cutting tool.

[0005] For this reason, in this method, loss of material and time occurs due to adjustment of the cutting amount of the bead cutting tool. Since the bead cutting tool is a consumable, it needs to be changed every 3000-4000m bead cutting length, depending on the pipe forming speed. Therefore, it is necessary to change the bite for 3-5 minutes every hour. Forced to stop the line.

In particular, in high-speed pipe forming in which the pipe forming speed exceeds 100 m / min, the life of the bead cutting tool is short and the frequency of replacement is high. There was a problem that bead cutting became a bottleneck and high-speed pipe making was not possible, resulting in low productivity. On the other hand, there is a method for producing a forged steel pipe having extremely high productivity for a relatively small diameter steel pipe. In this method, a continuously supplied steel strip is heated to about 1300 ° C in a heating furnace, and then formed into a tubular shape with a forming roll to form an open pipe. After performing the scale-off of
Oxygen is blown to the end face by a welding horn, the end face is heated to about 1400 ° C by the heat of oxidation, and then the end faces of both edges are abutted by a forging roll to produce a solid-phase welded steel pipe ( For example, 3rd Edition Iron and Steel Handbook, Vol. III (2), pp. 1056-1092).

However, in this method for producing a forged steel pipe, the scale-off of the end face is not perfect, so that the scale is caught in the forged joint portion, and the strength of the seam portion is considerably inferior to that of the base material portion. For this reason, in the flattening test, the flattened height ratio h / D = 2t / D (t: plate thickness) can be achieved with an ERW steel pipe, while the flattened height ratio h / D is inferior to about 0.5 with a forged steel pipe. It will be.

Although the productivity is high as short as min or more, the seam quality and the surface skin are poor, and there is a problem that products requiring strength reliability and surface quality such as JIS STK cannot be manufactured.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, a steel strip is continuously formed by a forming roll to form an open pipe. For molding, a known method using a molding roll can be suitably applied. The preheating reduces the temperature difference between the edge portion and the mother tube near the edge portion during edge heating performed later, so that the temperature and the temperature distribution of the edge portion can be easily maintained in the solid-state pressure-welding temperature range in the solid-phase pressure welding stage.

As the preheating, any of a method using a heating furnace, an induction heating method using an induction coil, and a resistance heating method using current can be suitably applied. The preheating temperature is within the temperature range of 800 ° C or less. If the preheating exceeds 800 ° C., a large amount of scale is formed on the entire surface of the pipe including the edges to be joined, and the seam quality and surface skin of the steel pipe are deteriorated. Therefore, the upper limit of the preheating temperature is set to 800 ° C. If the preheating temperature is less than 400 ° C., the edge temperature and the temperature distribution during pressure welding cannot be maintained in the temperature range where solid-state pressure welding is possible, since there is much heat diffusion from the edge to the mother pipe side during edge heating. , With preheating temperature of 650
If the temperature exceeds ℃, the scale on the surface of the open tube is likely to be generated. Therefore, the preheating temperature is preferably set to a temperature range of 400 to 650 ° C.

Next, both edges of the preheated open pipe are further subjected to edge heating for heating to a temperature range of 1300 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting point. The heating method of the edge heating is an induction heating method using an induction coil from the viewpoint of energy efficiency. For the edge heating, it is preferable to dispose an appropriate size of the impeder in the open tube from the viewpoint of the heating efficiency, but the edge heating can be performed even when the size of the impeder is reduced or the impeder is not arranged. In this case, the tube body other than the edge portion is also easily heated.

The temperature of the end face of each edge of the open tube is controlled by adjusting the output of the induction heating coil. If the temperature of the edge heating is lower than 1300 ° C., the joining of the end face of the edge portion becomes insufficient and the seam quality is deteriorated. Further, if the temperature of the end face of the edge portion exceeds the melting point of the pipe material, the molten steel forms beads (extra-bulb) inside and outside the pipe at the time of abutment joining, so that bead cutting is required. For this reason, the edge heating is performed in a temperature range of 1300 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting point where solid-state pressure welding can be performed. Preferably,
It is 1350 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting point, more preferably 1400 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting point.

The term "solid-phase pressure welding" as used in the present invention means a pressure welding that suppresses the swelling of a bead (surplus) and does not require bead cutting. In the present invention, the edge heating temperature is preferably the temperature in the solid phase region in order to suppress the amount of bead (surplus) swelling, but there is no inconvenience even in the solid-liquid two-phase region below the melting point where some liquid phase exists. .

Is preferably a predetermined angle. The predetermined angle is preferably 60 to 120 degrees. The edge shaping may be performed before the coil is paid off, before the coil is paid off and formed into an open pipe by a forming roll, or after the coil is formed.

The edge heating and the solid-state pressure welding may be performed in the air or in an atmosphere having a lower oxygen concentration than the air (in a shield atmosphere), but preferably in a shield atmosphere from the viewpoint of seam quality. Further, it is preferable that the edge heating and the solid-phase pressure welding are performed in an atmosphere having a dew point of −10 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of seam quality. The present inventors have found that after pressing, the time t k at which the joint is maintained at 1300 ° C. or higher is determined by
It was found that the seam quality of steel pipes changed. And t k on the seam quality (flat height ratio h / D), the relationship between the oxygen concentration shown in Fig. From Figure 2, t k in accordance becomes longer, it can be seen that the seam quality is improved.

In the welded seam formed by solid-state welding, the presence or absence of rolling of the welded part depends on the degree of edge droop of the steel strip, the precision of the edge refining of the steel strip, the method of pressure welding, or the degree of wall thickening by pressure welding. Irrespective of this, as shown in FIG. 6, a minute concave portion having a depth of about 0.2 mm called a weld line may be formed on the outer surface, which adversely affects the appearance and seam quality. In such a case, it is preferable to remove the weld line at an appropriate place after the welding to smooth the outer surface. The removal of the weld line is performed by performing processing such as cutting and polishing. Further, the removal of the weld line may be performed before or after the rolling in the case of rolling the press-welded thickened portion.
