  • Patent number: 9000320
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electric resistance welding pipe is provided in which a lateral edge shape is made to be an appropriate shape immediately before electric resistance welding is performed, whereby penetrators are securely removed during the electric resistance welding and, consequently, an electric resistance welding pipe having excellent characterization of welded seam can be obtained. A fin shape in finpass forming is printed to lateral edges of a strip, whereby the lateral edges of the strip are shaped with predetermined tapering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignee: JFE Steel Corporation

  • Patent number: 8912462
    Abstract: A method of efficiently manufacturing electric resistance welding pipes having excellent characterization of welded seams is provided, by which each lateral edge of a rounded strip immediately before electric resistance welding is securely shaped with desired tapering flexibly in response to change in strip thickness, so that welding quality may be kept to be excellent. A method of manufacturing electric resistance welding pipes, in which a strip is subjected to forming, then edges thereof are formed to substantially face each other, and then the edges are subjected to electric resistance welding to form a pipe, wherein an edge and an edge opposed thereto at one of an upper-surface side and a lower-surface side of the strip are shaped with tapering before the forming by means of cutting or shaving, or finpass forming.
