With the continuous record low prices in the seamless tube market, market confidence has fallen to a low point, and some favorable factors have also emerged. Firstly, in the new round of price adjustments, mainstream steel mills such as Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group have a strong willingness to raise prices, weak terminal demand, poor market transactions, hindered steel exports, weakened cost support, and high steel production. As Beicai moves southward, inventory pressure gradually increases in the later stage. Under the premise of no substantial reduction in production in steel mills and a dilemma in monetary policy, the steel market may be weak and difficult to improve before the Spring Festival holiday. At the same time, the positive factors that have emerged in the market have limited impact on the price of seamless pipes. Steel mills have increased their prices and credit has been extended in advance, which is more supported by psychological factors, leading to a weakening of the bearish atmosphere in the futures market and a low volatility trend.
Precision steel pipes and seamless steel pipes are two common steel pipe products in the market, with some similarities but also differences.
1. The main characteristic of seamless steel pipes is that they have no welded joints and can withstand large pressures. The product can be very rough cast or cold drawn parts.
2. Precision steel pipes are products that have emerged in recent years, mainly with strict tolerances and roughness for inner and outer wall dimensions.
What is precision steel pipe
Precision steel pipe is a high-precision seamless steel pipe material with bright inner and outer surfaces after cold rolling treatment. Due to the fact that precision steel pipes have no oxide layer on the inner and outer walls, withstand high pressure without leakage, have high precision, high smoothness, do not deform during cold bending, expand or flatten without cracks, etc., they are mainly used to produce products for pneumatic or hydraulic components, such as cylinders or oil cylinders, and can be seamless pipes.
characteristic
1. Smaller outer diameter;
2. High precision for small batch production;
3. Cold drawn finished products have high precision and good surface quality;
4. The cross-section of steel pipes is more complex;
5. Steel pipes have superior performance and dense metal, commonly used in the manufacturing of mechanical structures, hydraulic components, automotive components, etc.
