The Gap of Stainless Steel Tube Production Technology Level and the Market Trend at Home and Abroad

From the current status of the steel market in my country and the forecast analysis of domestic market demand in recent years, there is still a certain gap in the demand for high-end stainless steel pipe fittings, but what is more prominent is the unreasonable variety and specification structure. At present, Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Wuxi, Jiangsu, mainly produce low-end stainless steel pipe fittings, commonly known as market goods in the industry, and are mainly supplied to distributors in major domestic steel markets and exported to India and some underdeveloped countries in Southeast Asia.

At present, the stainless steel pipe factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that produce more extensive stainless steel pipes also have similar problems to different degrees. It is necessary to transform an existing Ф76mm cold-drawn production line that has been clearly eliminated by the state into a Ф140mm and Ф110mm hot-rolling production line with advanced technology and equipment at this stage in my country, so as to achieve a reasonable adjustment of product structure and improve equipment accuracy, thereby improving quality and reducing consumption, increasing product added value, and enhancing market competitiveness.

Stainless steel pipe fittings have been widely used in industry for their strong pressure-bearing capacity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Especially in recent years, with the increase in long-distance and cross-sea transportation of liquefied gas, natural gas and liquids, the advancement of communication technology (submarine cable laying), the rapid progress of the chemical industry, air conditioning and refrigeration machinery and environmental protection equipment, and the nuclear industry ( The development of stainless steel seamless pipes with a square shape and a round inner hole) has made stainless steel seamless pipes the darling of the times, the market is becoming increasingly bullish, and the industry is booming. In the field of foreign trade, despite the strong cold wave of anti-dumping in recent years, many foreign trade industries have shown weakness, but stainless steel pipe fittings still maintain a good export momentum. Especially sold to oil-producing countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, the annual sales of stainless steel pipe fittings accounted for a large share of the total demand there. Over the years, because of reliable quality, timely supply, good service, low price and good quality, it has won a good reputation in the Middle East.
