Hot cracking — cracks that occur immediately upon completion of the weld — are the biggest potential threat when welding austenitic stainless steel tube and pipe. This material is particularly susceptible to this defect due to its rather large grain structure.
Having the right filler metal (and controlling heat input and post-weld cooling) can help prevent cracking, as well as minimize the risk of losing corrosion resistance during the welding process.

The Rs 50,000 crore steel pipe industry contributes around 8 per cent to India’s overall steel production of 100 million tonnes.

A CRISIL report estimates 7-8 per cent growth in demand for steel pipes by 2024 because of a massive investment planned by the government in water supply, irrigation and sanitation projects, and increased usage of structural pipes.

  3. Industrial engineering (IE) is an important aspect of the iron and steel industry, as it can help to optimize production processes, improve efficiency, and increase productivity.

    IE techniques can be used to analyze and improve various aspects of the iron and steel production process, such as:

    Material handling: IE can be used to optimize the movement of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods throughout the production process. This can help to minimize waste and reduce production times.

    Production planning: IE can be used to optimize production schedules, taking into account factors such as demand, equipment availability, and resource constraints. This can help to minimize downtime and maximize throughput.

    Equipment design: IE can be used to design and optimize equipment layouts, minimizing material handling distances, reducing bottlenecks, and maximizing the use of available space.

    Quality control: IE can be used to develop quality control processes and metrics, ensuring that finished products meet customer specifications and reducing the need for rework and scrap.

    By applying IE techniques to the iron and steel production process, it is possible to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and increase productivity. This can help to make the industry more competitive and sustainable, while also ensuring that high-quality products are delivered to customers in a timely and cost-effective manner.
