Stainless Steel Welded Tubes Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter – INOX STEEL INDIA

INOX STEEL INDIA is one of India’s leading manufacturers of Stainless Steel Welded Tubes engineered for mechanical, architectural, sanitary, automotive, heat exchanger, and general engineering applications.

Manufactured using TIG / Plasma / Laser welding, and finished with precise weld bead removal, annealing, pickling, and polishing, our SS Welded Tubes are known for exceptional corrosion resistance, smooth weld seam quality, dimensional accuracy, hygienic surfaces (A270 Sanitary grade), high mechanical strength, and perfect roundness & straightness.

Available in round, square, rectangular & custom profiles, we supply stainless steel welded tubes in Grades 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 347, 310, meeting global standards like ASTM A249 / A269 / A270 / A554, DIN, JIS, and EN norms.

With a strong presence across India, GCC, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, INOX STEEL INDIA has become a preferred supplier for OEMs, architects, fabricators, EPC contractors, food & beverage companies, and chemical plants.

What Are Stainless Steel Welded Tubes?

Stainless Steel Welded Tubes are manufactured by forming stainless steel strips into a tubular shape and welding the seam using TIG / Plasma / Laser welding, followed by bead removal and finishing.

Also Known As

  • SS Welded Tubes
  • Stainless Steel Tubular
  • Welded Stainless Steel Pipes
  • Mechanical SS Tubes
  • Sanitary SS Tubes (A270)
  • Architectural SS Tubes (A554)

Available Shapes

  • Round

  • Custom engineered shapes

How Stainless Steel Welded Tubes Are Manufactured

1. Raw Material Selection

High-quality stainless steel coils are sourced in grades 304/L, 316/L, 310, 321, 347 depending on application.

2. Slitting & Edge Preparation

  • Accurate edge trimming
  • Deburring
  • Chamfering for welding quality

3. Tube Forming

Strips are gradually shaped into tube form via roll-formers.

4. Welding (TIG / Plasma / Laser)

  • TIG Welding – thin-wall precision tubes
  • Plasma Welding – deeper penetration
  • Laser Welding – minimal heat affected zone

5. Weld Bead Removal

External bead grinding and optional internal bead rolling.

6. Heat Treatment (Annealing)

Restores corrosion resistance, ductility and grain structure.

7. Pickling & Passivation

Removes scale and ensures corrosion resistance.

8. Mechanical Polishing / Bright Annealing

2B / BA / 180–600 grit / Mirror polish.

9. Straightening & Eddy Current Testing

Final dimensional and weld integrity checks.
