The Complete ERW Pipe Manufacturing Process Explained Step-by-Step
Introduction
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipe [https://www.cortecsteel.com/erw-electric-resistance-welding-pipe-product/] has become an essential part of modern industry due to its strength, uniformity of properties, and ease of production. However, how does a flat strip of steel become a high-integrity pipe with no filler metal? This guide will take you through the modern High-Frequency ERW manufacturing process and explain essential processes with key parameters, and quality-checking at each stage.
ERW Manufacturing: Key Stages and Quality Control
Stage
Step-by-Step Process
Critical Parameters / Quality Checks
1. Uncoiling & Slitting
A master steel coil is unrolled and cut by rotary knives into narrower strips of a precise width.
Strip Width Tolerance ( plus-minus 0.2mm); Edge Quality (No burrs).
2. Forming
The flat strip is passed through a series of rollers that progressively bend it into a round, open-seam tube.
OD and Roundness Control; Seam Gap Alignment.
3. Welding
A high-frequency (HF) current (100-800 kHz) is induced on the strip edges, heating them to a plastic state.
HF Power & Frequency; Welding Temperature Monitoring.
4. Forging
Squeeze rollers apply immense pressure, forging the heated edges together into a homogenous weld seam.
Squeeze Pressure; Upset Formation.
5. Seam Treatment
Internal and external weld beads (upset) are removed (scarfed) by cutting tools for a smooth surface.
Scarfing Tool Condition; Surface Finish Inspection.
6. In-line NDT
The weld seam is immediately scanned by an in-line Ultrasonic or Eddy Current testing unit.
100% Weld Seam Inspection for Defects.
7. Sizing & Straightening
The pipe passes through more rollers to achieve final, precise diameter and straightness.
Final OD Tolerance (e.g., plus-minus 0.5%); Straightness (

Explanation of Common Defects in ERW Welded Pipes
Explanation of common defects in ERW welded pipes:
Undercut
Undercut is a groove that appears along the centerline of the weld in the transition area between the edge of the weld and the pipe body. Undercut occurs when welding speed, current, voltage and other conditions are not properly matched.
lap welding
The upper and lower edges of the steel plate are misaligned and butted, resulting in uneven welds, which become pipe seam misalignment or…
The Differences Between ERW and Seamless Steel Pipes
