Abstract

See full text

A method for producing hot-rolled seamless pipes from transformable steel for pipelines in which the pipe ends are hot-upsetted in order to achieve a thickened wall portion after a final rolling process of the pipes to provide pipes with excellent fatigue, corrosion, and welding properties. A pre-selected ratio between a wall thickness of the pipe end and a wall thickness of a wall body adjoining the pipe end is set by the hot-upsetting process such that a pipe is achieved with a pipe end which has a lower strength than the pipe body after a uniform tempering process of the entire pipe following the hot-upsetting process by using a previously ascertained wall thickness-dependent cooling rate during the tempering process.
