Bead removal is done as per the requirement of standard specifications. Bead is cold worked and brought in level with the base metal. Bead rolling is made in-line before heat treatment on tube mill. Weld structure will thereby recrystallise & homogenize faster in annealing process. Which improves corrosion resistance. Which improves easy expansion in tube sheets and orbital welding. Which improves easy flow and easier cleaning and less scale deposits.
