Is there any difference between HFW steel pipe and ERW steel pipe?
High frequency welding uses the skin effect to concentrate the energy of the high frequency current on the surface of the workpiece, and uses the proximity effect to control the position and range of the high frequency current flow path. The speed of the current is very fast, it can in a short period of time will be adjacent to the edge of the steel plate heating, melting, and through the extrusion docking, each has its own advantages, but also each has its own shortcomings. Generally according to specific circumstances, specific analysis of specific choices.
ERW steel is high frequency ERW pipe, English Electric Resistance Welding, referred to as the abbreviation of machined steel in diameter and wall thickness of the pipe size range, with greater flexibility, especially in production
Resistance welding, as the name suggests, resistance welding is a method of welding by welding electrode after exerting pressure on electrode and utilizing electric current through the contact surface of connector and adjacent zone. High frequency welding: high frequency current through the metal conductor, will produce two kinds of peculiar effects: skin and proximity effects, high frequency welding is the use of these two kinds of effects of steel pipe welding, the effects of the two is based on the high frequency welding metal.
The difference between ERW (longitudinal resistance welding) and HFW (high frequency welding) is mainly due to the different principle.
