ERW tube mills are specialized equipment designed to produce carbon steel tubes and pipes through a process known as electric resistance welding. This method involves the continuous feeding of steel coils through forming rolls, which shape the material into a tube. The edges of the formed strip are then welded together using high-frequency electrical currents, creating a seamless and robust tube.
Key Features of ERW Tube Mills
High-Frequency Welding
The ERW process uses high-frequency electrical currents to heat the edges of the steel strip, causing them to fuse together under pressure. This results in a strong and uniform weld seam that enhances the tube's structural integrity.
Precision Forming
ERW tube mills are equipped with precision forming rolls that shape the steel strip into a round, square, or rectangular tube. The forming process ensures consistent dimensions and tight tolerances, making the tubes suitable for demanding applications.
Automated Operation
Modern ERW tube mills feature advanced automation systems that control the entire production process. This includes feeding, forming, welding, sizing, and cutting, ensuring high efficiency and consistent quality.
Versatility
These mills can produce a wide range of tube sizes and shapes, catering to various industry requirements. From small-diameter tubes used in automotive applications to large-diameter pipes for construction and infrastructure projects, ERW tube mills offer versatility in production.
Quality Control
ERW tube mills incorporate rigorous quality control measures, including non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing. These tests ensure that the weld seam is defect-free and the tubes meet industry standards.
