HOLLOW STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
HOLLOW STRUCTURAL SECTIONSDIMENSIONS AND section PROPERTIESElectric Resistance Welding (ERW) ProcessIn the tube mill, flat steel strip (1) is formed continuously around itslongitudinal axis to produce a round tube. This is done by moving thestrip through a progressive set of rolls (2-6). The strip edges (7) areheated by either high frequency induction or contact welding and thenforged together by weld rolls to create a continuous longitudinal weldwithout the addition of filler metal. The weld seam (8) is then cooledand processed through a set of sizing/shaping rolls which cold-form itinto a round (9), square (10) or rectangular (11) Weld-Square (ERW) ProcessIn the weld mill, driven forming dies progressively shape the flat strip(1) by forming the top two corners (2) of the square or rectangular tubein the initial forming station. Subsequent stations form the bottom twocorners (3) of the shape. No cold working of the sides of the shape isperformed, and the shape s seam is welded by high-frequency contactswhen the tube is near its final shape and size.
FOREWORD This publication presents tables of dimensions and section properties for rectangular, square, and round Hollow Structural Sections (HSS).
