Extreme environments: polar oil and gas pipelines and rail fasteners in cold regions, maintaining ductile fracture characteristics even at -110°C.

Second, 35CrMo Seamless Steel Pipe Processing Details
The processing of 35CrMo seamless steel pipe requires strict control of process parameters to ensure stable performance:

1. 35CrMo Seamless Steel Pipe Production Process:
Raw Material Preparation: Select high-quality 35CrMo alloy steel billets, controlling the content of harmful elements such as P and S;
Hot Rolling:
A. Heating Temperature: 1100-1250°C, homogenization treatment;
B. Piercing and Rolling: Piercing is performed using a three-roll cross-rolling mill, and the initial pipe shape is obtained after sizing.
2. Cold Drawing of 35CrMo Seamless Steel Pipe:
Multi-pass die drawing (elongation coefficient 1.3-1.5), with a grain size meeting ASTM standards. Grade 8 or above;
Inner wall honing: Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8μm, reducing turbulent losses in fluid transportation;
Heat treatment of 3.35CrMo seamless steel pipe:
Quenching: Oil quenching at 860-880°C to form a uniform bainite-martensite structure;
