GGP Solid State High Frequency Welder for ERW Tube Mill Line

Overview

The GGP Solid State High Frequency Welder is one of the most critical components in an ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Tube Mill Line. It provides the high-frequency electrical energy required to heat and weld the edges of steel strip continuously, ensuring strong and reliable weld seams for steel pipes and tubes.

Over the past decade, Chinese solid-state high-frequency welding technology has developed rapidly and gained worldwide recognition. Modern HF welders now incorporate advanced semiconductor technologies such as IGBT modules and Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices, significantly improving energy efficiency, welding stability, and operating reliability while reducing power consumption and maintenance costs.

The GGP HF Welder is designed for high-speed pipe production and is suitable for carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and various special steel tube manufacturing applications.

  • SiC HF Welder Solution
  • SiC HF Welding Technology
  • Solid-State SiC HF Welder

Working Principle

The solid-state high-frequency welder converts three-phase AC power into high-frequency electrical energy through advanced rectification and inverter systems.

The generated high-frequency current flows through the induction coil or contact welding system, concentrating heat at the strip edges. Under the pressure of squeeze rolls, the heated edges are forged together to form a high-quality continuous weld.
