The characteristic of stainless steel pipe

Stainless steels are highly alloyed materials, stainless steel is a common name for metal alloys consisting of 12% or more chromium (Cr) and more than 50% iron (Fe). Modern stainless steel tube may also contain other elements such as nickel, niobium, molybdenum and titanium. Nickel, molybdenum, niobium, chromium and improve corrosion resistance of stainless steel. This is the adding a minimum of 12% chromium steel that makes it resist rust, or stain 'less' than other types of steel. The chromium in the steel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a thin invisible layer of chrome-containing oxide, called the passive film

The challenge of cutting stainless steel tubes

All metals work harden when cold worked. Hardening steel tube features as well. When the steel pipe, please in contact with the tube cutting stainless steel pipe, it will harden and become more difficult to stay on the court with the same pressure and speed. The chromium and nickel makes it more difficult to cut or blowtorch ordinary carbon steel. Austenitic stainless steel tube harden very rapidly, but the rate work of the 400 series "Cold is only a little higher than that of carbon steels.

When cutting stainless steel tube / pipe stainless steel if the stainless steel tube / pipe stainless steel becomes hot during cutting, stainless steel pipe / stainless steel pipes are discolored, turning blue tempered by heat and if the stainless steel tube is sufficiently thin may distort the stainless steel material.

Generally speaking steel tube stainless steel tube is a nonferrous metal. This makes the stainless steel tube / pipe stainless steel very difficult to cut and drilled with conventional tools. The different grades of stainless steel tubing, and the thickness of the stainless steel pipe, increasing the difficulties

Conventional measures Cutting straight steel pipe and without burrs

To achieve a cutting burr free and straight, conventionally, the following steps have been taken to cutting stainless steel pipe

1. Cut the tube 2. De-burr the pipe with a bench grinding wheel 3. Clean the edges of the tube with wire wheel grinder bank 4. Using a sander, sand the tube its 5 levels. Clean again with a wire wheel 6. TIG After connecting to the other tube

Sometimes some of these steps to do two or more times to make sure its flat and free of burrs. It's a long time to do this.

Two recommended methods for cutting stainless steel tubes

Steel tube can be fabricated by methods similar to those used for carbon steel and other metals. However, changes may be necessary to the extent that they differ in yield strength and hardening rate.

One method, combined with Portable Saw Guide Band Saw The portable band saw cut must be sturdy, have enough power. Saw Guide helps eliminate vibration in the cutting of tubes stainless steel. Constant of the most important channels to prevent the tool mounted on the stainless steel tube.

Second Method, Orbital Pipe Saw

For cutting and beveling of stainless steel pipes, tubes orbital seen is another good choice. The blades rotate at high speed, are small, inexpensive and available in different versions for different materials and wall thicknesses.

The cutting is done manually by turning the housing machine 360 degrees around the pipe and then with a serrated circular blade driven by motor 1600 watts, the tube is cut with a single rotation. The cutting action is seconds, and is cut straight and clean
