Earthquake resistance, high strength, and high corrosion resistance are some of the many features of carbon steel tubes for general structures and building structures, which are described below.

Sales Points

Due to the recent escalation of social demands for safety, economy, scenery, etc., carbon steel tubes of this field are required to have many features such as earthquake resistance, high strength, and high corrosion resistance.

Wide choice of materials besides JIS G 3444(carbon steel tubes for general structures and building structures) are available depending on environment of usage and required performance

Materials available include:

• High-tensile steel
• Aluminum plated steel
• Galvanized steel
• Highly corrosion-resistant coated steel (Zn-Al-Mg-Si) SuperDyma developed by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal

Extensive range of sizes and excellent dimensional accuracy

We have tube-manufacturing equipment that can manufacture tubes up a maximum outer diameter of 609.6 mm as well as a variety of cold drawing equipment allowing us to provide a high level of dimensional accuracy, including for special dimensions.

Quality design depending on the intended use

We also use steel tube manufactured in-house to provide shaped tubes finished in a variety of shapes.

Rigorous quality control

We manufacture products under integrated quality control from raw material design through to the completed product.
Tags and/or stencils are used for identification management of all items. (Customer numbers are displayed as .)

Wide range of intended uses

Some specific examples include:

• Piles for ground reinforcement for residential housing and medium-rise buildings
• Members for truss structures
• Various kinds of piles including for snow fences, noise barriers, and exclusion fences
• Posts such as lampposts and signposts
• Structural members, such as for farm equipment and construction equipment
• Other buildings and all kinds of civil engineering structures

Manufacturing Process（Tube Manufacturing Process）

1.Forming Rollers with various curvatures are used to bend flat steel strip into a tubular shape.
2. High frequency electric resistance welding A high frequency induced current is used to hot pressure weld the edges of the steel strip formed into a tubular shape.
3. Eddy current or ultrasonic testing The integrity of the raw material and weld zone is completely inspected online in a non-destructive means.
4. Sizing Rollers are used to squeeze the welded tube, adjusting its outer diameter. Rectangular or square tube can be formed in addition to round tubes.
5. Cutting Cutters are used to cut the continuously formed tube into defined lengths.
