Getting good edges
You need to prepare and start with good edges if you want to achieve a quality weld. When manufacturing ERW tube and pipe, this is even more crucial. It is next to impossible to consistently get perfect edges from side trimming and slitting master coils, or rotary side trimming single-width coils.
When rotary side trimming hot-rolled, single-width coils and side trimming and slitting a master coil into numerous strands, it is important that you equally remove material from each side. This will leave a skelp strand that is the right size for forming, sizing, and welding.
There must be control over 3 critical processes when manufacturing ERW tubing. A lot of this responsibility belongs with the mill operator. They need to control skelp edge preparation, skelp forming, and the ERW process. The aim of this is to get the best edges possible to create the highest quality ERW seam. All of this, along with quality standards and checking sheered edges, will help produce the best weld seam possible.
