Stainless Steel Tubing Fabrication
Viewed over the history of Stainless Steel Tubing Fabrication production, welded products can be
considered relatively new arrivals to the market, as production originally was limited to
seamless manufacturing only. This was due mainly to restricted welding technology and
availability of only high carbon pre-material in strip and plate. The advent of modern

AOD melting technology and precision cold-rolling/slitting processes combined with
rapid technological leaps in welding techniques resulted in Stainless Steel Tubing Fabrication supplies soon
becoming the dominant market supply. In 2007/2008, the stainless steel tube and pipe
consumption was approximately 4 million metric tonnes of which welded products
account for some 3.4 million metric tonnes and increasingly welded tubes and pipes are
gaining market share from seamless [2]
