What issues should be noted when grinding stainless steel welded pipes?

Stainless steel welded pipes also need to undergo grinding treatment during processing. In fact, for many processing plants, grinding is a very familiar process. However, there are many points to note during processing. During the grinding of stainless steel welded pipes, the abrasive is prone to losing its cutting performance, and the processed surface is prone to scratches.
Now let’s talk about what problems should be noted during the grinding of stainless steel welded pipes? Requirements for grinding agents: During the grinding of stainless steel welded pipes, in addition to carefully selecting the abrasive and grinding paste formula based on specific conditions such as grinding type, workpiece material, and grinding quality requirements, it is also necessary to particularly select the abrasive. Because the abrasive purchased from outside may, due to various reasons, sometimes have individual coarse abrasive grains mixed in a certain grade (grain size number) of abrasive. As long as this situation occurs occasionally, it may cause scratches on the workpiece during grinding and lead to scrapping. Therefore, the abrasive should be selected.

Requirements for clean production: Grinding is a finishing process with high demands on both precision and surface finish. Therefore, it is essential to strictly adhere to clean production practices; otherwise, it is difficult to achieve the desired results. The surrounding environment, workpieces, and tools used during grinding must be kept strictly clean. There are even stricter requirements for the grinding agent itself (which will be detailed later). After use, the container lid should be tightly closed promptly to prevent dust or other impurities from entering.

The production time record shows that a considerable proportion of the quality problems that occur during grinding work are caused by a lack of attention to clean production. Stainless steel aviation tube materials are generally soft, highly ductile, and have strong adhesion, which makes them prone to scratches, hooks, and other defects.
