What is a 200kW High-Frequency Welder?

A 200kW HF Welder is a powerful industrial welding system used to join the longitudinal seam of steel pipes by applying high-frequency electric current. It is commonly used in ERW pipe production lines for welding round, square, or rectangular steel tubes.

  • 200kW: The welder delivers 200 kilowatts of electrical power — suitable for larger diameter and thicker-wall pipes (typically up to 219mm or more in diameter).

  • High-Frequency: Uses AC current at 150–400 kHz, which rapidly heats the pipe edges by electrical resistance.

  • Solid-State Type (usually): Uses advanced semiconductors (IGBT or MOSFET) for higher efficiency and reliability.


⚙️ How Does a 200kW HF Welder Work?

  1. The steel strip is formed into a tube using a forming mill.

  2. As the two edges come together, a high-frequency current is introduced (via induction coil or contact tips).

  3. The electrical resistance at the joint generates heat rapidly.

  4. No external filler or flame is used — the edges are forged together by squeeze rollers.

  5. This creates a clean, high-strength weld with minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ).


🧠 How to Choose a 200kW HF Welder

Factor

Considerations

Pipe Size

Pipe diameter and wall thickness 

Material Type

Mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, or galvanized steel

Welding Speed

Production line speed — higher power supports faster welding

Induction vs. Contact

Induction is non-contact (cleaner); contact welding is more efficient for thick walls

Power Supply Stability

Ensure stable 3-phase power (usually 380V or 415V)

Cooling System

Adequate water pressure and flow for stable operation

Integration Capability

Match control system to your line’s PLC or automation

Local Support

Choose a supplier who offers local installation, training, and spare parts

 

🛠️ How to Use a 200kW HF Welder (Basic Steps)

  1. Start Cooling System: Ensure water flow to the generator and induction coil is active and stable.

  2. Power On: Use the control cabinet to start the generator and set power levels.

  3. Align Induction Coil or Contact Tips: Position them precisely around/near the pipe seam.

  4. Start Line Operation: Feed the strip through forming mill; edges should meet at welding point.

  5. Adjust Welding Parameters: Fine-tune power and frequency to optimize seam fusion.

  6. Monitor Quality: Check for smooth, complete welds with minimal burr or spatter.

  7. Routine Maintenance: Clean filters, inspect the coil/tips, and replace impeder rods regularly.

200kw Solid State Welders FAQs

What pipe sizes can a 200kW HF Welder handle?

Typically depending on material and production speed.

Is solid-state better than vacuum tube HF welders?

Yes. Solid-state welders have: Higher energy efficiency (up to 90%) Longer service life Lower maintenance Smaller size and better automation compatibility

What happens if the coil is misaligned?

Misalignment causes uneven heating and poor weld quality — always ensure the coil or contact head is centered and parallel to the pipe seam
