A Few Facts about Manufacturing Steel Pipes
In case the steel is to be shaped into plates or (Combi-Wall and Tubular Sheet Pile), or round objects, such as bars or sticks, the material is formed with large rollers which apply a lot of pressure. To make blossoms, which can be what gets shaped in steel pipes, the ingot is set through rollers which move in opposite directions to be able to squeeze and stretch the material into thin, long bits. Once the blossom is made, it's then processed further into what's called a billet. The workpiece is even longer and thinner blossom. These are cut and piled, and then eventually are shaped into a smooth steel pipe.
