2. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why choose the round-to-square process instead of direct square forming?
A: The round-to-square method ensures better weld seam alignment, stronger structural integrity, and greater tooling flexibility, especially for mid-to-thick wall and high-strength materials.

Q2: How is the corner quality controlled? What are the common issues?
A: Corners are formed through gradual pressing in multiple roll passes. Issues like cracking, over-rounded corners, or misalignment can be resolved by optimizing roll design and adjusting pressure settings.

Q3: How to prevent weld seam misalignment during forming?
A: Keep the weld seam centered after welding and ensure symmetrical roll forces during forming. Optional weld seam tracking systems can further stabilize seam position.

Q4: Do we need to replace the entire roll set when changing specifications?
A: No. Only the round-to-square and sizing sections need to be changed, significantly reducing downtime and tooling costs.

Q5: What causes edge waviness or "bamboo-like" defects?
A: These are typically due to excessive deformation per pass or improper roll design. Adjusting the deformation rate and optimizing pressure balance in the sizing unit can solve this.

Q6: Is round-to-square suitable for small-size thin-wall tubes?
A: Generally not. Thin-wall small tubes are prone to instability or cracking during transformation. Direct square forming is more appropriate for such sizes.
