  • an inspection of inner surface of the tube by the eddy current flaw detection can be made with a high S/N ratio to improve the inspection efficiency.
  • an amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube subjected to a straightening process correlates with an amount of dimensional variation prior to the straightening process and, in general, the amount of dimensional variation is increased by the straightening process.

  • Pilger rolling is used in a cold working process
  • a noticeable dimensional variation is generated along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube in the cold working process and the noticeable dimensional variation remains also after the tube is straightened, which hence impairs the S/N ratio in the eddy current flaw detection.
  • the dimensional variation generated along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube in the cold working process can be reduced as compared with the case where Pilger rolling is used. This is because since the drawing work is performed by use of a die and a plug, the inner surface of the produced tube can be made smoother. Further, when drawing work by a high-pressure drawing is used, the dimensional variation generated along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube in the cold working process can be further reduced. In this way, it was found that drawing work using a high-pressure lubricating oil having a pressure of 40 MPa or more is suitable for the cold working process.
  • the operating conditions of the roll straightening machine such as an offset amount, the number of pairs of straightening rolls (the number of stands), and a stand interval have a large effect on an increase in an amount of dimensional variation of the inner surface of the tube in the straightening process.
  • an amount of work per a pair of straightening rolls is increased and hence the tube is subjected to be deflected heavily when the tube is straightened, whereby an amount of dimensional variation of the tube after the straightening is markedly increased.
  • the present inventors found that when a (2-2-2-2-2) type straightening machine having five pairs of straightening rolls is used, the amount of work per one pair of straightening rolls can be decreased to prevent the amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube from being increased by the straightening.

  • the pressure of the lubricating oil used in the cold drawing by the high-pressure drawing is less than 40 MPa, a lubricating oil film having a sufficient thickness is not formed between tools and the tube and hence seizing and/or vibration/chattering is caused, which hence increases the amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction generated on the inner surface of the tube.
  • the pressure of the lubricating oil is set at 40 MPa or more. It is preferable that the pressure of the lubricating oil is set at 50 MPa or more. Further, it is preferable that the pressure of the lubricating oil is set at 150 MPa or less.
  • the pressure of the lubricating oil is more than 150 MPa, there is a risk that part of the lubricating oil is trapped in a portion on the inner surface of the tube to form a recessed portion to thereby generate a defect referred to as an oil pit.
  • the oil pit generated on the inner surface of the tube develops dimensional variations of a short cycle in a roughness measurement chart and hence has a small effect on the S/N ratio in the inspection by the eddy current flaw detection, but causes the roughness on the inner surface of the tube, referred to as an arithmetic average roughness, to be deteriorated.
  • Various conventional methods can be employed as a solid solution heat treatment, and when the solid solution heat treatment is performed, a heating temperature and a retention time thereof for the tube can be adequately determined from the size and the chemical composition of the tube.
  • the solid solution heat treatment can be applied to the tube, for example, at a heating temperature of 1000 to 1300° C. and for a retention time of 5 to 15 min.
  • the tube is straightened by use of the roll straightening machine which has at least five pairs of concave globoidal drum type straightening rolls, each pair of rolls being arranged opposite to each other in a vertical direction and in a crossing manner where directions of rotating shafts of paired rolls cross each other, and which has the stand interval of 300 mm or less. Since the roll straightening machine which has at least five pairs of concave globoidal drum type straightening rolls is used, the bends and the out-of-roundness of the tube can be straightened while an amount of work per a pair of straightening rolls is decreased as compared with a conventional (2-2-2-1) type straightening machine which has three pairs of straightening rolls.
  • the bends of the tube cannot be straightened unless an offset amount is increased, but increasing the offset amount so as to straighten the bends of the tube should increase an amount of dimensional variation in the inner surface of the tube after straightening.
  • the ⁇ expressed by Formula (1) described above is in the range of 0.9 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 or more, the out-of-roundness and the bends of the tube can be straightened.
  • the ⁇ expressed by Formula (1) described above is less than 0.9 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 , the bends remain in the tube after being subjected to the straightening process, thus resulting in a defective product.
  • the offset amount applied to the tube is 5 mm or less, an amount of work per a pair of straightening rolls is decreased and hence the imposed deflection of the tube is decreased at the time of straightening, which can hence suppress an increase in an amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube by the straightening.
  • the offset amount applied to the tube is more than 5 mm, the amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube by the straightening is noticeably increased.
  • the cold drawing is performed to the tube by use of the high-pressure lubricating oil of 40 MPa or more in pressure and then the tube is straightened with offsetting in which the i expressed by Formula (1) described above is in the range of 0.9 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 or more and in which an offset amount is 5 mm or less.
  • an amount of dimensional variation along a longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the tube is 4 ⁇ m or less and the amount of bend crookedness in a portion of a length of 1000 mm from a tube end is 1 mm or less, which hence makes it possible to inspect the tube by the eddy current flaw detection with a high S/N ratio and hence can improve the inspection efficiency.
  • At least successive three pairs of straightening rolls in which ⁇ and the offset amount are set within ranges specified by the present invention can be arranged either on an entrance side, or in the intermediate region excluding foremost and rearmost pairs of rolls, or on a delivery side.
  • a straightening roll cross angle and an amount of crushing that are setup conditions of the roll straightening machine can be selected adequately from the size and material grade of the tube to be straightened. It is preferable that in each pair of straightening rolls, the roll cross angle is set in a range from 28° to 31° and the amount of crushing is set in a range from 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm.
  • the chemical composition of the tube consists of, in mass %, C: 0.15% or less, Si: 1.00% or less, Mn: 2.0% or less, P: 0.030% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Cr: 10.0 to 40.0%, Ni: 8.0 to 80.0%: Ti 0.5% or less, Cu: 0.6% or less, Al: 0.5% or less, and N: 0.20% or less, the balance being Fe and impurities.
  • the impurities mean constituents which are mixed in the tube from ores and/or scraps when the tube is commercially produced and which are allowed in a range not having an adverse effect on the present invention.
  • the reasons of limiting the contents of the respective elements are as follows.
  • “%” of the content of the element means “mass %”.
  • a C content is more than 0.15%, it is likely that stress corrosion cracking resistance can be deteriorated.
  • the content of C is 0.15% or less, more preferably, 0.06% or less.
  • C has an effect of increasing the grain boundary strength of an alloy. In order to acquire this effect, it is preferable that the content of C is 0.01% or more.
  • Si is used as a deoxidizer at the time of melting and remains as impurities in the alloy. At this time, it is preferable that the content of Si is limited to 1.00% or less. If the content of Si is more than 0.50%, the cleanliness of the alloy is lowered in some cases. Thus, it is more preferable that the content of Si is limited to 0.50% or less.
  • Mn is an element that immobilizes S, an impurity element, as MnS to thereby improve hot workability and that is effective as a deoxidizer. If the content of Mn is more than 2.0%, the cleanliness of the alloy is lowered. Thus, it is preferable that the content of Mn is 2.0% or less, more preferably, 1.0% or less. Further, in the case of acquiring the effect of improving the hot workability by Mn, it is preferable that the content of Mn is 0.1% or more.
  • P is an element that remains as impurity in the alloy and if the content of P is more than 0.030%, P has an adverse effect on a corrosion resistance in some cases. Thus, it is preferable that the content of P is limited to 0.030% or less.
  • S is an element that remains as impurity in the alloy and when the content of S is more than 0.030%, S has an adverse effect on the corrosion resistance in some cases. Thus, it is preferable that the content of S is limited to 0.030% or less.
  • Cr is an element necessary for keeping the corrosion resistance of the alloy and hence it is preferable that the content of Cr is 10.0% or more. However, containing Cr by more than 40.0% means that the content of Ni gets relatively smaller and hence it is likely to lower the corrosion resistance and the hot workability of the alloy. Thus, it is preferable that the content of Cr is 10.0 to 40.0%. In particular, if the content of Cr is 14.0 to 17.0%, the alloy exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in the environment including chloride, and if the content of Cr is 27.0 to 31.0%, the alloy is excellent in the corrosion resistance even in the environment including pure water and alkali at high temperatures.
  • Ni is an element necessary for securing the corrosion resistance of the alloy and it is preferable that the content of Ni is 8.0% or more. On the other hand, since Ni is expensive, it is enough that a minimum content of Ni as needed is contained according to use and hence it is preferable that the content of Ni is 80.0% or less.
  • the content of Ti is more than 0.5%, it is likely that the cleanliness of the alloy is deteriorated. Thus, it is preferable that the content of Ti is 0.5% or less and, more preferably, 0.4% or less. However, from the viewpoint of improving workability of the alloy and of inhibiting a grain growth at the time of welding, it is preferable that the content of Ti is 0.1% or more.
  • Cu is an element that remains as impurity in the alloy, and if the content of Cu is more than 0.6%, the corrosion resistance of the alloy is lowered in some cases. Thus, it is preferable that the content of Cu is limited to 0.6% or less.
  • Al is used as a deoxidizer at the time of steelmaking and remains as impurity in the alloy.
  • the remaining Al becomes oxide-based inclusions in the alloy and lowers the cleanliness of the alloy.
  • Al has an adverse effect on the corrosion resistance and the mechanical property of the alloy.
  • it is preferable that the content of Al is limited to 0.5% or less.
  • N may not be added to the alloy but the alloy intended by the present invention typically contains about 0.01% of N as impurity. However, if N is positively added to the alloy, N can increase the strength of the alloy without impairing the corrosion resistance. However, when the content of N is more than 0.20%, the corrosion resistance is lowered. Thus, it is preferable that the upper limit of the content of N is 0.20%.
  • Ni-based alloy having chemical composition consisting of C: 0.15% or less, Si: 1.00% or less, Mn: 2.0% or less, P: 0.030% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Cr: 10.0 to 40.0%, Fe: 15.0% or less, Ti: 0.5% or less, Cu: 0.6% or less, Al: 0.5% or less, the balance being Ni and impurities because the Ni-based alloy is more excellent in the corrosion resistance.
