High-Frequency Induction (HFI) steel pipes are a type of Electric Resistance Welded (فدان) pipe that are produced using high-frequency induction welding. This method is known for its efficiency and effectiveness in creating strong, high-quality welds. Here’s an overview of HFI steel pipes, including their manufacturing process, characteristics, والتطبيقات:
HFI (High-Frequency Induction) أنابيب الصلب
عملية التصنيع
- High-Frequency Induction Welding:
- Induction Coil: The process starts by forming the steel strip into a cylindrical shape using a series of forming rolls.
- Induction Heating: The edges of the steel strip are then heated using an induction coil. This coil generates an alternating magnetic field that induces currents (eddy currents) in the steel.
- لحام: The edges are heated to a temperature sufficient for welding without melting the entire material. The heated edges are then pressed together to form a weld under pressure.
- Cooling and Sizing: بعد اللحام, the pipe is quickly cooled and passed through sizing rolls to ensure the precise dimensions and roundness of the pipe.
صفات
- اللحامات عالية الجودة: HFI welding produces strong, reliable welds with good mechanical properties and minimal defects.
- كفاءة: The process is highly efficient and suitable for mass production, providing high throughput.
- Consistent Dimensions: The precise control during manufacturing results in pipes with consistent dimensions and wall thickness.
- الانتهاء من السطح: عادة, HFI pipes have a smooth surface finish, which is beneficial for many applications.

- Material Preparation:
- Slitting Line: The process begins with cutting a steel strip of the required size on a slitting line.
- التشكيل البارد: The strip is then fed through a tube mill where it undergoes cold forming using a set of cage rolls and fin passes to form an open pipe.
- High-Frequency Induction Welding:
- Induction Coil: The open pipe passes through a high-frequency inductor, a metal coil with single or multiple windings.
- Induced Current: High-frequency ring current is induced into the pipe, which concentrates at the strip edges converging at the welding point.
- Resistance Heating: The required welding temperature is generated by resistance heating along a narrow zone at the strip edges.
- Pressure Rollers: The heated edges are squeezed together by pressure rollers, resulting in a homogeneous longitudinal weld without any filler metals.
- Flash Removal:
- Inside and Outside Beads: The flash generated on the inside and outside surfaces during welding is removed to the level of the pipe surface using special tools to ensure unobstructed fluid or gas flow.
- Post-Weld Treatment:
- Inductive Annealing: The HFI weld undergoes multi-step inductive annealing to ensure the weld area properties match those of the base material.
- التحجيم والقطع: The continuous pipe string is straightened, size rolled, and cut to length by a flying saw.
- Finishing and Testing:
- Further Processing: Pipes are transferred to finishing sections for processes such as straightening, end chamfering/facing, hydro-testing, اختبار غير مدمر, threading, and galvanizing, based on customer requirements.
