Tube machining
Pipe and tube welding
We perform MIG-MAG and TIG welding of tubes, section bars and tubular elements in steel and stainless steel, employing qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force.
There are different types of welding.
If we want to divide the field into two main types, we have autogenous welding, which is the type we do, and that is achieved by melting. Its main characteristic is that the metal base is the welded seam, i.e. it can be done without (we are talking about TIG welding) or with the addition of metal of the same type as that of the piece to be welded.
Heterogeneous welding, on the other hand, which we do not do, includes soldering and braze welding: here the melting concerns only the filler, i.e. the soldering metal, which may differ from that of the pieces to be joined.
Types of welded pipes, tubes and cross sections
Welding processes are done on tubes, tubular elements and section bars in steel and stainless steel in the cross sections listed in the table below.
Rectangular tubes
- Minimum cross section: 20x10 mm
- Maximum cross section: 150x100 mm
Square tubes
- Minimum cross section: 10x10 mm
- Maximum cross section: 180x180 mm
Round pipes
- Minimum cross section: Ø6 mm
- Maximum cross section: Ø219 mm
Special section bars
- Any section bar
Metal alloys
Our tube welding department is equipped and qualified to work on metals like iron and stainless steel.
To obtain welded pipes and tubes of excellent quality, it is essential to follow strict procedures during processing and control, in addition to selecting top grade, certified materials.
Steel
We perform TIG welding on all tubes in stainless steel. Where necessary, we provide to protect the inside of the welded tube if heating could make it subject to rust.
The process can be done with or without filler metal.
Stainless steel
We perform wire welding or TIG welding on steel parts using Corgon gas in the former case and Argon in the latter.
TIG welding can also be done with or without filler.
With our welding service, we can provide the clients with products like bushings, plates or other tubes that serve to complete the finished products.
We perform hermetically sealed welds (UNI-EN 303-5) and welds compliant to standard UNI EN ISO 3834-4:2006 employing specialized personnel with qualifications according to EN ISO 9606-1 and UNI EN ISO 14731:2007.
Welding and other tube processes
Tube welding is done by Tecnocurve, only on parts that require the use of bent or roll bent tubes.
Tube welding and roll bending
We perform welding on roll bent tubes and on their parts with the aid of special templates.
Tube welding and bending
Whether working with tubes, tubular elements or section bars, our welders are trained to perform welding operations even on bent parts.
Tube welding and laser cutting
The ability of the laser cutter to produce tube-end facing enables us to perform precision welded joints.
Sectors of application: industrial uses
The welded tube in steel or stainless steel is widely used in many industrial sectors.
Welding the tubes enables us to produce more or less complex structures by joining various metal parts. The material has to be melted with skill in order to assemble finished parts ready for subsequent treatments such as painting, galvanizing or sand-blasting.
