Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3225321A1] Provided are a method of producing a steel pipe by performing bending on a plate material, and a press die used in the method. A method of producing a steel pipe in which a plate material having an end bending portion is subjected to at least one bending along its widthwise direction to form a preformed body having a U-shaped cross-section, an open pipe with a gap portion in a longitudinal direction is formed by adding a bending force to the preformed body to press the preformed body, and end surfaces of the gap portion of the open pipe are butt-joined to each other to form a steel pipe, the method including: providing a lightly-bent portion to which very slight curvature is applied as compared to other regions, or providing a non-bent portion in which the bending is omitted, in at least a part of the plate material, in performing bending on the plate material; and applying the bending force to a part spaced apart at least from the center of the lightly-bent portion or the non-bent portion in a width end portion direction of the plate material by amount of W/4 (where, W is a width size of the plate material), without constraining the lightly-bent portion or the non-bent portion, in pressing the preformed body into the open pipe.
