SynopsisThe quality of chromium, chromium-molybdenum and austenitic stainless steel tubes manufactured by an electric resistance welding (ER W) 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 ER W alloy steel tubes by the new technology is investigated focusing on their corrosion resistance, high temperature creep rupture strength and fatigue strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
