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
  • Squar
  • Rectangular
  • Oval
  • Flat-sided oval
  • Custom engineered shapes

How Stainless Steel Welded Tubes Are Manufactured

Manufacturing Steps:

  1. Raw Material Selection: High-quality stainless steel coils are sourced in grades 304/L, 316/L, 310, 321, 347, depending on the application.
  2. Slitting & Edge Preparation: The coil is slit into strips of exact width, followed by accurate edge trimming, deburring, and chamfering for welding quality.
  3. Tube Forming: Strips are gradually shaped into tube form via roll-formers — creating the perfect geometry.
  4. Welding (TIG / Plasma / Laser): INOX uses TIG (cleanest), Plasma (deep penetration), or Laser (minimum HAZ) welding methods.
  5. Weld Bead Removal: External bead is ground and polished; internal bead is removed using mandrel/roller techniques for seamless-like flow.
  6. Heat Treatment (Annealing): restore corrosion resistance, ductility, and grain structure — especially critical for 316L, 321, 347.
  7. Pickling & Passivation: Removes scale, oxides & ensures long-term corrosion resistance.
  8. Mechanical Polishing / Bright Annealing: Depending on application, finished with 2B / BA, 180–600 grit, or mirror polish.
  9. Straightening + Eddy Current Testing: Final dimensional accuracy and weld integrity checks ensure reliability.

Stainless Steel Welded Tubes vs Seamless Tubes

Feature Welded Tube Seamless Tube
Cost More economical Higher
OD/WT Consistency Excellent Moderate
Availability Easily available Limited
Weld Integrity TIG/Laser welded → Strong No weld
Applications Mechanical, sanitary High-pressure

Welded tubes are ideal for 70–80% of SS applications due to precision, finish & cost efficiency.
