ERW pipes and tubes are manufactured by feeding a rectangular steel strip through a rolling machine that gradually curls the long edges upward toward each other, forming a round (cylindrical) shape. In the ERW process, high-frequency electrical current is passed between the two edges, causing them to heat, melt, and fuse together — creating a longitudinal weld along the full length of the pipe.
A key advantage of ERW pipe is that no filler (fusion) metal is used, and the weld seam is typically smooth and uniform, often difficult to see or feel.

Welded pipe manufacturing has advanced significantly over the years. One of the most important improvements was the industry-wide shift to high-frequency electric current welding. Earlier low-frequency ERW weld seams (common prior to the 1970s) were generally more susceptible to corrosion and seam-related failures compared to modern high-frequency ERW.
In manufacturing ERW steel pipes and tubing, we use high-quality steel such as continuous-cast, fully-killed, control-rolled, fine-grain, low-carbon material — supporting consistent welding, performance, and reliability.
