Product Description

The Stainless Steel ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Pipe is manufactured by cold-forming stainless steel coils into a cylindrical shape and welding the longitudinal seam using high-frequency electric resistance welding technology. This process produces a pipe with a narrow, uniform weld seam that is virtually indistinguishable from the base metal after proper heat treatment. ERW pipes offer an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Key Features of ERW Pipe

High Weld Quality – Narrow heat-affected zone (HAZ) with minimal contamination
Excellent Dimensional Accuracy – Consistent outer diameter and wall thickness
Cost-Effective – Lower production cost than seamless pipe
Wide Size Range – Available from 6 mm to 610 mm (1/8″ – 24″)
Corrosion Resistance – Full stainless steel composition throughout
Annealed Condition – Restores corrosion resistance and ductility after welding
Smooth Internal Surface – Low friction loss for fluid applications
Lightweight – Thin wall options available for weight-sensitive applications

ERW Manufacturing Process
StepDescription
1. Coil UnwindingStainless steel coil is unwound and leveled
2. FormingCoil is gradually cold-formed into a cylindrical shape
3. WeldingHigh-frequency electric current heats edges; pressure forges weld
4. Seam AnnealingWeld seam is post-weld heat treated to relieve stress
5. SizingPipe passes through sizing rollers to achieve final dimensions
6. CuttingPipe is cut to specified lengths
7. Heat TreatmentFull annealing restores corrosion resistance
8. TestingHydrostatic and eddy current testing performed
