Ever wondered how long steel tubes are manufactured?
The simple answer to this is a tube mill. Tube mills produce pipe and tube by taking a continuous strip of material and roll forming it until the edges of the strip meet together at a weld station. At this point the welding process melts and fuses the edges of the tube together and the material exits the weld station as welded tube.
It is of-course a complicated process to explain in a few words. Steel milling in India is in its early stages and there is a scope for investment in this sector. Our team met and had talks with Met Mr. Eung Soon, CEO, Korean Heavy Mill Manufacturer when he was in India to attend the ‘TUBE INDIA CONFERENCE‘ in Bangalore and discussed the pros and cons of the sector. A blue print was prepared for setting up a plant, however the idea was shelved due to the unexpected pandemic outbreak.
