The steel tubular column has simple and smooth lines, which makes it widely used in architecture. People will fall in love with the simplest design of the fashion industry at first glance. The pillars can be made of spiral welded pipe or the curled steel plate. Then what is the difference between the two types of procedures？
Spiral welded steel pipe is a type of steel pipe made from hot-rolled or cold drawn strip steel, which can be made of carbon steel, low-alloy steel, or high alloy steel. It has good strength and corrosion resistance. Curled steel plate pipe is manufactured by welding steel plates rolled into a tube shape, mainly made of carbon steel or low-alloy steel, which has relatively poor strength and corrosion resistance.
Spiral welded steel pipe is a production process for pipes that requires multiple processes to produce the finished products, including roll forming, welding, straightening, and cold rolling. Curled steel plate pipe needs a welding process that first rolls the steel plate into a tube shape, and then manufactures it through high-frequency electric welding or submerged arc welding.
Spiral welded steel pipes are widely used in transportation pipelines in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, chemical, and power due to their good strength and corrosion resistance. They can also be used in fields such as bridges, docks, and construction. Curled steel plate pipes are mainly used in steel structures, bridges, tunnels, urban rail transit and other fields.
The advantages of spiral welded steel pipes are high strength, good corrosion resistance, and long service life; The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high. The advantages of curled steel plate pipes are low cost, easy production and processing; The disadvantage is that the strength and corrosion resistance are relatively poor, and the service life is also short.
In summary, there are significant differences between spiral welded steel pipes and curled steel plate pipes in terms of material, production process, usage, and advantages and disadvantages. The choice should be comprehensively considered based on specific circumstances.
