According to Baowu Steel Group, Baosteel’s Heavy Plate Business Unit recently successfully delivered a domestically first-of-its-kind 98mm thick, 3000mm wide, extra-thick, ultra-wide, high-performance S31603 stainless steel plate for pressure vessels, rolled directly from large steel ingots.

With the implementation of the national “14th Five-Year Plan” series of green and low-carbon policies, the demand for key materials in national mission-oriented industries has steadily increased. Baosteel’s Heavy Plate Business Unit seized the market opportunity, leveraging its years of experience in stainless steel production and operation. By integrating resources across the full process of stainless steel manufacturing and utilizing the process expertise and equipment advantages of its ecosystem partners, Baosteel overcame critical production bottlenecks. This enabled the large steel ingot direct rolling process for extra-thick, high-quality, high-performance stainless steel plates for pressure vessels to be produced at scale.

It is reported that Baosteel’s stainless steel team, before developing the new product, held multi-level discussions with ecosystem partners and formulated a detailed new product development plan. They successfully addressed production bottlenecks in the process flow, and within just over a month, achieved seamless and efficient collaboration from the initial development concept to slab manufacturing, rolling, solution treatment, and pickling. Together, they overcame a series of technical challenges in direct rolling from stainless steel mold cast large ingots, establishing the capability for mass delivery of high-value, high-performance stainless steel with thicknesses exceeding 70mm. This eased the domestic supply shortage of extra-thick, high-quality stainless steel plates with guaranteed performance, creating a new practice in coordinated and agile delivery.

Through deep collaboration with ecosystem partners, the team achieved the domestic first launch of high-precision ultra-wide (12.7 * 3790 * 12000mm) stainless steel plates for LNG wide-width pipelines, completing the import substitution for similar products. This breakthrough resolved the supply bottleneck for “chokepoint” materials in the “last mile” of LNG pipeline transport from LNG carriers to onshore LNG storage tanks, achieving a win-win situation.

This spiral transmission pipe was custom-developed by China Steel Pipe Company for civilian water supply projects, primarily used for pipe jacking operations at construction sites. Compared to traditional jacking pipes, the large thick-walled spiral steel pipe features shorter welds, higher geometric dimensional accuracy, and superior weld performance, providing new equipment and solutions for construction.

The project demanded a wall thickness of up to 28mm, while the maximum wall thickness of similar domestic products does not exceed 26mm, posing significant production challenges. To address this, the steel pipe company actively communicated with raw material manufacturers to collaboratively complete custom material production. They overcame technical control difficulties in coiling, shape control, and dimensional performance during the production of ultra-thick hot-rolled steel coils, meeting the raw material requirements for customized production of 28mm thick-walled transmission pipes. Additionally, to solve technical issues such as extreme forming stress on ultra-thick steel strips and weld crack defects, the company intensified scientific research during production. The technical team conducted in-depth analysis and evaluation of welding equipment in advance and carried out adaptive modifications. Through optimizing forming control data, conducting welding process matching tests, and optimizing welding parameters, they effectively improved the appearance quality and internal weld performance of the transmission pipes.

The company completed all production preparations in just 15 days and successfully trial-produced the 1820mm diameter, 28mm wall thickness spiral transmission pipe within 16 hours. Tests showed that the geometric dimensions and weld performance of the spiral transmission pipe met standards and were widely recognized by customers. The successful trial production of China’s largest thick-walled spiral transmission pipe not only enriches the specification catalog and application scenarios of large-diameter transmission pipe products but also provides a new tool for Chinese petroleum enterprises to complete civilian projects with high quality.

The domestic oil and gas pipe industry has relatively low concentration, with high-end non-API products still lagging behind foreign leaders. We calculate that in 2021, the CR3 and CR5 of China’s oil well pipe industry were 33% and 47% respectively. Currently, there are still many small-scale oil and gas pipe manufacturers, leading to low industry concentration and homogeneous competition. While China’s API products have gained some cost and price advantages, achieving exports to the Middle East, Africa, North America, and Central Asia, high-end non-API products still lag behind foreign leaders like V&M and Tenaris in quality, performance, and diversity.

The domestic high-pressure boiler pipe industry is highly concentrated, while the low and medium-pressure boiler pipe segment is fully competitive. We estimate that the CR3 and CR5 in the high-pressure boiler pipe segment are 42% and 62% respectively, indicating relatively high concentration. However, the low and medium-pressure boiler pipe production has lower entry barriers, smaller overall market size, and is a fully competitive market segment.

Demand for oil & gas pipes and boiler pipes remains robust, benefiting leading companies with competitive product advantages. Since 2020, oil prices have been gradually rising. OPEC+ production cuts in 2023-2024 will support oil prices, likely maintaining strong demand for oil and gas pipes. Additionally, the new round of thermal power policy benefits is driving a new cycle of demand for thermal power boiler pipes. The increasing share of unconventional oil and gas exploration and accelerated construction of ultra-supercritical power units will particularly drive accelerated growth in high-end product demand. We expect leading companies with stronger R&D capabilities and competitive product advantages to fully benefit.

Key recommendations include:

1. CITIC Special Steel, which has significantly expanded its steel pipe capacity through the acquisition of Tianjin Steel Pipe.
2. Leading steel companies with large steel pipe production capacities, such as Baosteel and Hualing Steel.
3. Changbao, a leader in small and medium-diameter oil well pipes and boiler pipes.
4. Shengde Xintai, a leader in thermal power boiler pipes.
5. Jiuli Special Materials, known for high technical barriers and high value-added steel pipe products.

These companies are well-positioned to capitalize on the industry trends and demand growth in the oil & gas and boiler steel pipe sectors.

What is the difference between external pipe coating and internal pipe-lining and cladding? External pipe coatings are used to protect the metal from corrosive environments (3LPE coated pipes are the most common choice). Internal lining (example PTFE) protects the pipe from corrosive fluids. Clad pipes (CRA) have the inner surface covered by higher grade materials to achieve stronger resistance while decreasing the overall pipe cost.

COATED PIPES

Pipes may be coated externally to be protected from corrosion, erosion and possible mechanical stress.

Pipe coating consists of the application of metallic, or non-metallic, materials on the external surface of the pipe (either seamless or welded).

The most common materials to coat pipes externally are:

1. Non-metallic pipe coating: Paints, varnishes, lacquers, bituminous coatings, resins, plasticizers, Greases, waxes, oils, Plastics (polyurethane, polyethylene, Rilsan, PTFE, PVC), Elastomers (various types), Vitreous enamel, Cement mortar
2. Organometallic pipe coating: Paints pigmented with metals in powder form (aluminum, zinc, lead, stainless steel), Paints containing zinc ethyl-silicate
3. Chemical modification: Phosphating, Chromatin, phosphating, Black finishing, and browning
4. Cementation (physiochemical modification)

3LPE COATED PIPES

3LPE coated pipes feature a three-layer polyethylene coating consisting of:

1. a high-performance fusion bonded epoxy (FBE),
2. a copolymer adhesive
3. an outer layer of polyethylene which provides tough, durable protection against corrosion and erosion.

3LPE pipe suit medium to high operating temperatures.

LINED PIPES

Lined pipes are fitted with an internal protective material which is mechanically inserted into the tubular section. The lining material is fitted into the pipe at the end of the manufacturing process. It is clear that internal lining materials, which have an own thickness, reduce the bore size of the pipe.

The most pipe lining materials are:

Teflon (PTFE)

Cement mortar

Liquid epoxy

Glass

Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE)

Polyethylene

Bituminous asphalt

Zinc

CLAD PIPES (CRA)

A clad pipe combines the strength and toughness of a carbon steel pipe with the corrosion resistance of a stainless or duplex pipe (or even higher grades, as nickel high-alloyed materials like Inconel, Incoloy, etc).

Clad pipes are also called CRA (which stands for “corrosion resistant alloy”).

The cladding process consists of the application, in the inner part of the pipe, of a layer of higher grade material onto a lower-grade base material of the pipe.

Clad pipes are used for fluids that would quickly corrode carbon-manganese steels. The bonding between the two materials is metallurgical and can be achieved by welding the two together or with explosion techniques (whereas lined pipes feature a mechanical bonding of different materials).

Pipe cladding is used to enhance the durability and the resistance to corrosion of a pipe while keeping its final costs at acceptable levels. Of course, clad pipes are more expensive than lined pipes, as the overlay materials used are, generally, noble metals.
