Aokete Steel boiler tubes serve critical functions across multiple industries:

• Power Plant Boilers: Core components for water walls, superheaters, reheaters, and economizers, enduring high-temperature, high-pressure steam conditions.
• Petrochemical Industry: Used in heat exchangers, reactors, and piping systems for transporting and processing corrosive media.
• Heat Exchangers: Essential components for thermal transfer, improving energy efficiency.

Boiler tubes are categorized by operating temperature and pressure into medium-pressure and high-pressure variants, differing in material selection, manufacturing processes, and performance requirements.

• Medium-Pressure Boiler Tubes: Typically operate below 450°C, primarily manufactured through hot rolling or cold drawing processes, with moderate strength and toughness requirements.
• High-Pressure Boiler Tubes: Designed for extreme conditions, requiring enhanced creep strength, oxidation/corrosion resistance, and microstructural stability to withstand aggressive environments.

While medium and high-pressure boiler tubes share fundamental manufacturing methods with seamless tubes, special attention is given to critical processes:

• Precision drawing for dimensional accuracy
• Surface treatments for corrosion protection
• Thermomechanical processing for property enhancement
• Expansion techniques for size customization

Heat treatment serves as a vital method for modifying the physical properties of high-pressure boiler tubes. Through controlled heating and cooling cycles, microstructural improvements achieve desired performance characteristics. Common techniques include:

• Quenching: Rapid cooling after heating to attain required hardness
• Tempering: Stress relief post-quenching to reduce brittleness while maintaining strength
• Annealing: Slow cooling to eliminate internal stresses

To ensure long-term performance, boiler tubes undergo descaling through various methods:

• Cleaning: Solvent/emulsion washing for organic contaminant removal
• Mechanical Descaling: Abrasive tools for loose scale elimination
• Acid Pickling: Chemical/electrochemical treatment
• Abrasive Blasting: Comprehensive surface preparation ideal for protective coatings

The reliability of boiler systems fundamentally depends on tube quality. Aokete Steel delivers boiler tubes that maintain stable performance under extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted operation of power plants, refineries, and industrial heat exchangers. The company's products offer essential creep resistance, oxidation protection, and thermal fatigue durability for mission-critical facilities.
