UOE STEEL PIPE WITH EXCELLENT CRASH RESISTANCE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE UOE STEEL PIPE

摘要

The present invention relates to UOE steel pipe excellent in collapse characteristics formed by the UOE production method and a method for forming this UOE steel pipe, said UOE steel pipe characterized in that a ratio between compression and tension of yield strength in the circumferential direction is at least 1.05 near the inside surface and is at least 0.9 to not more to 1.0 from the center of plate thickness to the outside surface.
