INTRODUCTION
Enhancing Product Potential

for both Motor Vehicles and
Machinery in the 21st Century.
The machinery industries, Particularly motor vehicles and
industrial and construction machinery, are setting their sights on
what is in store for them in the 21st century. As they sharpen
their focus at this century, the industries are upgrading their
requirements for steel pipe and tubes for machine structures----
requirements that are increasingly severe and more diversified
than ever before.
JFE Steel Pipe and Tubes for Machine Structures are
produced under an integrated system covering everyting from
raw materials to finished products----with high technology in iron
and steel production employed throughout. Be it surface finish,
dimensional accuracy, quality stability or any other aspect,
structural-quality pipe and tubes from JFE Steel measure up to
the strictest customer requirements. User confidence in JFE
Steel pipe and tubes is also bolstered by the stringent quality
control exercised by JFE Steel, and process using one of the
most advanced testing systemes in the industry.
Throughout the 21th century, JFE Steel shall have been a
consistently excellent partner for companies in all machinery
industries. JFE Steel will exert the same, unflagging efforts in
the years ahead, always pushing research and development so
as to deliver high-quality, low-cost products to customers
around the world.

FEATURES
In order to match specific customer needs, JFE Steel offers a wide variety of
1 Products manufactured under strict quality control

At all stages from raw materials to finished products, JFE Steel pipe and tubes
are produced under an integrated system using the most advanced equipment,
with rigid quality control exercised at each process.
2 Pleasing surface finish

JFE Steel pipe and tubes come in surface finishes that exactly meet customer
requirements or match the specifications for the intended applications.
Inherently excellent properties are further enhanced by advanced heat treating
technology to offer a smooth, pleasing surface texture.
3 High dimensional accuracy

To meet increasingly severe standards for dimensional accuracy,
JFE Steel exercises extra care in producing and inspecting pipe and
tubes to particularly rigid dimensional tolerances. Outstanding
dimensional accuracy is a result of such efforts.

Mannesmann Plug Mill
1 %
In the plug mill process, a solid round (billet) is
used. It is uniformly heated in the rotary hearth
heating furnace and then pierced by a Mannesmann
piercer. The pierced billet or hollow shell is
rollreduced in outside diameter and wall thickness.
! # $

The rolled tube simultaneously burnished inside and
outside by a reeling machine. The reeled tube is
then sized by a sizing mill to the specified
dimensions. From this step the tube goes through
the straightener. This process completes the hot
working of the tube. The tube (referred to as a
"
mother tube) after finishing and inspection, !
becomes a finished product.

Mandrel Mill

#
In the mandrel mill process, a solid round (billet) is
also used. It is heated in a rotary hearth heating
furnace and then pierced by a Mannesmann
piercer. The pierced billet or hollow shell is rolled by
an 8-stand mandrel mill to reduce the outside

diameter and wall thickness which forms a multiple
length mother tube. The mother tube is reheated
and further reduced to specified dimensions by the
stretch reducer. The tube is then cooled, cut,
straightened and subjected to finishing and
inspection processes before shipment.

Steel strip in coil, which has been slit into the
required width from wide strip, is shaped by a series %& %&

longitudinal edges are continuously joined by high "

frequency resistance/induction welding.
The weld of the multiple length shell is then heat
treated electrically, sized, and cut to specified

straightened and squared at both ends.
These operations are followed by ultrasonic

(1.67 x no.of m of length)
Wall thickness, over 4% of OD.
Note : 1. The straightness variation for any 3 ft (0.9m) of length is determined by measuring the concavity between the tube and a 3-ft straightedge with a
feeler gage. The total variation, that is, the maximum curvature at any point in the total length of tube, is determined by rolling the tube on a surface
plate and measuring the concavity with a feeler gage.
2. The tolerances apply generally to unannealed, finish-annealed and medium-annealed cold-finished or hot-finished tubes. When straightening stress
would interfere with the use of the end product, the straightness tolerances shown do not apply when tubing is specified ''not to be straightened after
furnance treatment.'' These straightness tolerances do not apply to soft-annealed or quenched and tempered tubes.

Note : Measurements for diameter are to be taken at least 2 in. A from the ends of the tubes.
A. 1 in.=25.4mm.
B. Flash-In-Tubing is produced to outside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances only, and the height of the inside welding flash does not
exceed the wall thickness or 3/32 in., whichever is less.
C. Flash Controlled to 0.010 in. maximum tubing consists of tubing over 5/8 in. outside diameter which is commonly produced to outside diameter
tolerances and wall thickness tolerances only, in which the height of the remaining inside welding flash is controlled not to exceed 0.010 in.
D. Flash Controlled to 0.005 in. maximum tubing is produced to outside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances, inside diameter tolerances
and wall thickness tolerances, or outside diameter tolerances and inside diameter tolerances, in which the height of the remaining inside welding flash
is controlled not to exceed 0.005 in. Any remaining flash is considered to be part of the applicable inside diameter tolerances.
E. Birmingham Wire Gage.
F. The ovality shall be with the above tolerances except when the wall thickness is less than 3% of the outside diameter, and the ovality may be 50%
greater than the outside tolerances but the mean outside diameter shall be within the specified tolerance.

In the plug mill process, a solid round (billet) is

used. It is uniformly heated in the rotary hearth

heating furnace and then pierced by a Mannesmann

piercer. The pierced billet or hollow shell is

In the mandrel mill process, a solid round (billet) is

also used. It is heated in a rotary hearth heating

furnace and then pierced by a Mannesmann

piercer. The pierced billet or hollow shell is rolled by

an 8-stand mandrel mill to reduce the outside

and further reduced to specified dimensions by the

stretch reducer. The tube is then cooled, cut,

straightened and subjected to finishing and

inspection processes before shipment.
