1. Raw material steel coil
● Purchase:
✔ Supplier selection: Choose a reputable steel supplier and ensure that the material meets relevant standards (such as ASTM A36, S235JR).
✔ Specification confirmation : Confirm the width, thickness and steel grade of the steel coil. Common thickness ranges from 2mm to 20mm, and widths range from 600mm to 2000mm.

● Test:
✔ Chemical composition test : Use a spectrometer to analyze the chemical composition of steel to ensure that the proportions of elements such as carbon, manganese, and silicon meet the requirements.
✔ Mechanical properties testing : Tensile testing is performed to measure the yield strength, tensile strength and ductility of steel using a specimen machine .
2. Tablet
● Unrolling steel coil:
✔ Equipment : Use an uncoiler or uncoiler straightener to unwind the steel coil into a flat plate.
✔ Operation : The steel coil is sent to the straightening machine through the uncoiler. The straightening machine unwinds and straightens the coil by rolling to make its surface flat.

● Cutting and leveling:
✔ Leveling : Use a leveling machine to remove bends and corrugations from steel plates.
✔ Cutting : Use shearing machine or CNC cutting machine to cut the flat plate into steel plates of required size.
3. Cutting steel plates
● Set cutting parameters:
✔ Equipment : Use a CNC cutting machine, laser cutting machine or plasma cutting machine.
✔ Parameter setting : Input cutting drawing and dimension data, set cutting speed, power and path.

● Cutting :
✔ Operation: Place the steel plate on the cutting machine and cut it according to the set parameters. The laser cutting machine can provide high precision and smooth cutting edges, while the plasma cutting machine is suitable for thicker materials.

● Deburring:
✔ Equipment : Use a deburrer, grinder , or hand tool to remove burrs from cut edges.
✔ Operation : Ensure that the cut edges are smooth to facilitate subsequent bending and assembly operations.
4. Bending steel plates
● Prepare the bending machine:
✔ Equipment : Use CNC bending machine with appropriate molds and tools.
✔ Parameter setting : Set the bending angle, bending radius and bending pressure according to design requirements.

● Bending:
✔ peration : Put the steel plate into the bending machine and perform bending operation according to the set parameters. Control the bending speed and pressure during the bending process to ensure the bending angle is accurate.
5. Cut the flange
● Position:
Equipment : Use a laser cutter, plasma cutter, or water jet cutter.
Settings : Input the flange drawing and dimension data, and set the cutting path and parameters.

● Cutting:
Operation : Put the steel plate into the cutting machine and cut the flange according to the set parameters. The laser cutting machine provides high precision and detailed cutting effect.

● Deburring:
Treatment : Use a deburrer or hand tool to clean the cut edge of the flange, making sure there are no sharp edges and irregularities.
6. Closing
● Edge treatment:
✔ Equipment : Use a grinder, sandpaper, or deburrer to prepare bent and cut edges.
✔Operation : Grind the seams and edges to ensure smooth seams and reduce the difficulty of subsequent welding.

● Pre-assembly inspection:
Inspection : Check the dimensions of the bent parts and flanges to ensure they can be assembled correctly.
7. Assembly
● assembly:
✔ Tools : Use clamps, brackets and positioning tools for initial assembly.
✔ Operation : Align the bent steel plate with the flange and fix the position with a clamp.

● Temporary fixation:
✔Tools : Use a spot welder to make temporary spot welds to ensure that the parts will not move before the actual welding.
✔ Operation : Spot welding is performed at the connection points to fix the positions of the components and facilitate subsequent welding.
8. Manual welding
● Preparation:
✔ Cleaning : Use a steel brush or sandpaper to clean the weld area of oxides, oils and impurities.
✔ Safety : Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as welding helmet and gloves.

● Welding:
✔ Equipment : Welding is done using a manual arc welder such as a MIG or TIG welder.
✔ Operation : When welding, control the welding current, welding speed and wire feed amount to ensure that the weld is uniform and free of defects.

● Welding inspection:
✔ Inspection : Use visual inspection and weld flaw detectors (such as ultrasonic flaw detectors) to inspect weld quality.
✔ Repair : Repair welding is performed on any defects found to ensure that the welding quality meets the standards.
9. Polishing
● Initial polishing :
✔ Equipment : Use an angle grinder with a coarse grinding wheel to remove welding slag and rough parts.
✔ Operation : Grind the welding area to ensure a smooth surface.

● Fine grinding :
✔ Equipment : Use fine sandpaper or a polishing machine for fine sanding.
✔ Operation : Finely sand the surface of the steel pipe rod to remove any remaining imperfections and ensure a smooth surface.
10. Plastic surgery
● Adjust the shape:
✔ Equipment : Use a straightener or leveler for shaping.
✔ Operation : Adjust the shape of the steel pipe rod to ensure that its straightness and geometry meet the design requirements.

● Dimension detection:
✔ Tools : Use precise measuring tools such as calipers and laser measuring instruments.
✔ Operation : Measure length, diameter and other critical dimensions of steel pipe rods to ensure they meet design standards.
11. Galvanizing
● Pre-treatment :
✔ Pickling : Immerse the steel pipe rod in the pickling tank to remove surface oxides and rust.
✔ Sandblasting : Use a sandblasting machine to sandblast the steel pipe rod to improve the adhesion of the galvanized layer.

● Galvanizing :
✔ Equipment : Use hot dip galvanizing equipment to immerse the steel pipe rod in a molten zinc bath, the zinc bath temperature is usually 450°C-460°C.
✔ Operation : Control the immersion time and zinc bath temperature to ensure a uniform and compliant zinc layer.
12. Check zinc thickness
● Measurement:
✔ Equipment : Use a zinc thickness tester (such as a magnetic thickness gauge or coating thickness gauge).
✔ Operation : Take multiple measurements at different locations on the steel pipe to ensure that the zinc layer thickness is uniform and meets the standards.

● Recording and analysis:
✔ Record : Record the measurement results and compare them with the standard requirements.
✔ Correction : If unqualified zinc layer thickness is found, re-galvanizing or other correction treatment is required.
13. Tensile test
● Prepare the sample :
✔ Selection : Randomly draw samples from the production batch.
✔ Marking : Mark samples to ensure accuracy and traceability of test results.

● Test :
✔ Equipment : Use a tensile testing machine (such as a universal testing machine) to perform the test.
✔ Operation : Tensile test is performed on samples to measure their tensile strength, yield strength and ductility.

● Result analysis :
✔ Analysis : Check whether the test results meet the design requirements. If not, it may be necessary to adjust the production process or replace the material.
14. Packaging
● Clean:
✔ Inspection : Make sure there is no oil, dust or other impurities on the surface of the steel pipe rod.
✔ Handling : Use detergent and cloth to wipe the product to make sure it is clean.

● Packaging Materials:
✔ Options : Use packaging materials such as plastic film, foam pads, wooden pallets, etc.
✔ Operation : Wrap the steel pipe pole with plastic film and place it on foam pad or other protective materials to prevent collision and wear during transportation.

● Logo:
✔ Label : Affix product labels to the packaging, including information such as model, specification, production date and batch number .
15. Packing
● Load the packaged steel pipes and poles into the container , ensuring that the products inside the container are stable.

● Verify that the container door locks, hinges and seals are in good condition.

● Install the lock on the door handle and striker, making sure it is secure and not loose.
16. Transportation and Handover
● Loading : Loading the sealed container onto a transport vehicle (such as a truck, ship, etc.).

● Transportation : Deliver the container to the destination according to the transportation plan.
