Abstract
A steel blank pipe is first subjected to the step of cutting off the hair crack layer portion including the black skin layer of the inner peripheral wall surface of the blank pipe. Thereafter, the steel blank pipe is repetitively subjected to the process of dilation or drawing of the length and the process of annealing within a non-oxidizing hearth.
Claims5
A method of producing a high pressure fuel injection pipe comprising the steps of cutting off the hair crack layer portion including the black skin layer of the inner peripheral wall surface of a steel blank pipe, and thereafter repetitively subjecting said steel blank pipe to the process of said radially inner wall having a hair crack layer portion and a black skin layer dilation of the length and the process of annealing within a non-oxidizing hearth, thereby forming a finished pipe.
a method of reducing the hairline cracks in the radially inner wall of a steel pipe comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a steel pipe having an inner diameter, an outer diameter and a wall thickness each dimensioned greater than desired in a finished pipe;
- b. removing the hair crack layer portion including the black skin layer of the radially inner wall of the pipe;
- c. drawing the pipe to effect a reduction in the inner diameter, outer diameter and wall thickness;
- d. annealing the pipe in a non-oxidizing environment;
- and,
- e. repeating steps (c) and (d) above until the desired dimensions of the finished pipe are obtained.
