Exigences de fabrication et de tolérance
Méthodes de fabrication
Seamless pipes are manufactured using hot extrusion, cold working, and heat treatment. Plates or strips are formed into cylindrical shapes using processes like roll forming, welding, and post-weld heat treatment to produce welded pipes.

Advantages and Disadvantages of ASTM A790
Avantages :
Duplex and super duplex stainless steels have high yield strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion. They also have good toughness and ductility at both low and high temperatures, making them suitable for various applications. The combination of high strength and corrosion resistance can save on materials and extend service life, reducing overall costs.
Inconvénients :
Although these stainless steels offer long-term cost-effectiveness, their initial cost may be higher than that of standard grades. Additionally, they can become prone to embrittlement at temperatures above 300°C due to the formation of intermetallic phases. Furthermore, the production process for duplex and super duplex stainless steels can be more complex and expensive compared to that of standard austenitic or ferritic stainless steel.
