Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) technology has redefined tube manufacturing, enabling mass production of high-strength, precision tubes for critical sectors from energy to aerospace. At the heart of this revolution are ERW tube mill machines – sophisticated systems combining metallurgy, robotics, and digital control. Here’s why SRET Co., Ltd. dominates as China’s most trusted ERW machinery innovator.
Core Mechanism:
– Forming Stage: Multi-stand roll forming units progressively shape steel strips (0.5–25mm thickness) into cylindrical profiles with ±0.1mm precision.
– Welding Process: High-frequency currents (100–400 kHz) fuse edges at 1,300–1,500°C, creating seamless, homogeneous welds stronger than the base metal.
– Post-Processing: Sizing mills ensure ±0.05mm tolerance; CNC flying cutters slice tubes at 120 m/min speeds.
Industry Applications:
| Sector | Tube Specifications | Machine Requirements |
| Oil & Gas | API 5L X80, ⌀114–610mm, 12m lengths | High-pressure hydrostatic test units |
| Automotive | Chassis/fuel lines, ⌀10–50mm, ±0.1mm | Laser-guided forming & seam annealing |
| Construction | Structural square tubes (Q355B steel) | Heavy-duty roll forming (20mm thickness) |
Heritage & Vision:
Founded in 1989 by 5 university professors in Shenyang, SRET pioneered China’s independent tube mill R&D. Their mission: *”Replace imported machinery with superior domestic technology.”*
Competitive Edge:
– R&D Powerhouse: 120+ patents (e.g., AI-driven weld penetration control, energy recovery systems).
– Precision Manufacturing: ISO 9001-certified workshops with CNC machining centers (±0.01mm accuracy).
– Global Footprint: 3,200+ installations across 45 countries (Germany, Vietnam, Nigeria).
Flagship Systems:
| Machine Type | Capabilities | Industry Case |
| Compact ERW Mills | ⌀10–76mm, 30 m/min,500K | Philippines furniture maker: 300% ROI in 18 mos |
| High-Speed Lines | ⌀165–610mm, 120 m/min, API-certified | Kazakhstan oil pipeline: 200K tons/year |
