Electrical Resistance Welded (ERW) Tubing

ERW tubing can be an ideal choice when strength-to-weight ratio is critical, or when bending, flattening, flaring or other types of fabrication will be required. For many applications - including prop and drive-shaft tubing, steering column components, recreational equipment, and valve casings - ERW tubing offers significant cost savings throughout the fabrication process. Because of its excellent workability, scrap loss is minimal. And because of its uniformity and concentricity, lighter walls can be specified, reducing the allowance for stock removal. ERW tubing is available in a wide range of wall-to-diameter ratios, and can be manufactured from pre-coated steel.

The Fairbury Weld Mill 2000 was designed to meet increasing U.S. market demand for mechanical steel tubing with heavier walls and consistent weld integrity, bright annealed tubing from atmospheric-controlled furnaces, higher strength steels, longer lengths, closer tolerances, scratch-free surfaces, and consistent quality, ensured by advanced techniques in non-destructive testing.
