Bogatov N.A., Bogatov A.A., Salikhyanov D.R. Development of manufacturing process of corrosion-resistant pipes

Abstract

At present, it is necessary to develop new innovative projects in the Russian oil industry aimed at efficient performance improvement of material resources and their economy. Production and application of layer-composite pipes are advantageous in terms of corrosion protection. There are several production techniques based on metal forming. According to the best practice, the lining technique proves to be rational for tubing manufacturing. The technique would be a combined pipe expansion from dissimilar materials of different properties. It lends a high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength to a pipe, which makes the service life about 4 times longer as compared to monometallic pipes. But the previous foreign practice showed that some specific pipe-production processes need improvement. The article considers new technical solutions in lined pipes manufacturing and results of their performance test.
