1) Process & General Requirements

Hot extrusion is a key seamless tube manufacturing process, ideal for large-diameter, thick-wall, and high-alloy steels.
    •    Heated billets are extruded through a die at high temperature → one-step forming.
    •    Capable of producing OD 57–1200 mm, WT 6–200 mm, length up to 20 m.
    •    Especially suitable for high-alloy and hard-to-deform materials (Cr-Mo steels, Ni-based alloys).

Features:
    •    Uniform structure with dense, consistent mechanical properties.
    •    Thick-wall capability beyond conventional hot rolling or cold drawing.
    •    Wide material adaptability: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys.


2) Typical Grades
    •    Carbon & Low Alloy Steel: 20#, 16Mn, Q345 series
    •    High Temperature Alloy Steel: 12Cr1MoV, 15CrMo, A335 P22/P91/P92
    •    Stainless Steel: 304H, 321H, 316H, TP347H, Duplex 2205/2507
    •    Nickel Alloys: Inconel 600/625, Hastelloy C-276, Alloy 800H/825


3) Size Range
    •    Outer Diameter (OD): 57 mm – 1200 mm
    •    Wall Thickness (WT): 6 mm – 200 mm
    •    Length: 6–20 m (customized lengths available)
    •    Delivery Condition: heat treated (N, Q+T, solution), pickled, machined surface


4) Performance & Advantages
    •    High pressure resistance for petrochemical, boiler, and nuclear service.
    •    Excellent high-temperature performance, operating 400–650 °C.
    •    Corrosion resistance tailored by material choice (Cr-Mo, stainless, Ni-alloy).
    •    Good machinability for welding, flanging, and precision machining.


5) Applications
    •    Petrochemical: high-temperature heater tubes, reformer tubes, re-heater tubes.
    •    Power Plant Boilers: main steam pipes, reheat steam pipes, superheater tubes.
    •    Nuclear Industry: primary circuit piping, steam generator tubing.
    •    Pressure Vessels: thick-wall vessels, high-pressure reactors.
    •    Offshore Engineering: subsea oil & gas lines, corrosion-resistant piping.


6) Quality & Testing
    •    Chemical Analysis: furnace + spectrometer, low P/S control.
    •    Mechanical Properties: yield, tensile, elongation, high-temp creep/rupture tests.
    •    NDT: UT, ET, RT, MT, PT as required.
    •    Hydrostatic Test: 100% hydrotest per tube.
    •    Standards & Certifications: ASTM A335, ASME SA213, EN 10216, GB/T 5310, ISO, PED.
