ERW Process

Cutting-Edge Technology Boasting Exceptional Strength and Durability

Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) is a welding technique that utilizes high-frequency electricity to heat and fuse the edges of steel plates together under pressure. ERW steel pipes, manufactured through this process, exhibit exceptional strength and durability, making them widely employed in various industrial applications.
