Abstract

The quality of chromium, chromium-molybdenum and austenitic stainless steel tubes manufactured by an electric resistance welding (ERW) is highly dependent on the sophisticated technologies of non-oxidizing welding, precise control of welding energy and smooth cutting of inside flush. In this report a newly developed manufacturing technology for ERW alloy steel tubes is described on the following items; oxygen content in the welding atmosphere for a non-oxidizing welding and its control equipment, appropriate welding energy and its control system and a high performance impeder.Furthermore, the quality of the mass-produced ERW alloy steel tubes by the new technology is investigated focusing on their corrosion resistance, high temperature creep rupture strength and fatigue strength.
