Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal has produced and sold a
complete range of steel products and has served every need in
Japan and overseas for over a long period of time as a compre-
hensive steel manufacturer.
In the pipe & tube unit, we have the latest production facilities
that can cover all products, such as those involving seamlessrolling, electric resistance welding, butt welding, and arc weld-
ing, as well as a product control system based on non-destruc-
tive inspection using computers.
In addition, the comprehensive unique capabilities of Nippon
Steel & Sumitomo Metal include application technologies and

Production process Seamless pipes & tubes (Mannesmann process)
Hot process
Mandrel mill process
After heating the round steel billet, hollow pipes are made with a piercer with toe angle. Then, elongating rolling is per formed
by a mandrel mill, which consists of a multi-step continuous rolling machine, to thereby produce the mother pipe. This mother
pipe is reheated and is then nished by stretch reducing mill to a specied outside diameter and thickness for the nal pr oduct.
Plug mill process
After heating the round steel billet, hollow pipes are made with a piercer. Then, elongating rolling is perform ed through a plug
mill. Pipes are reeled and nished to a specied diameter for nal products. For a pipe & tube with a small diameter, original
pipes with a specied diameter are reheated and then nished to the specied outside diameter and thickness through a reduc-
ing mill for the nal product.
Cold-rolling process
When higher dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties are required compared to pipes produced by the hot-rolling
process, cold drawing subsequent to hot rolling is performed for the nal product.

Seamless pipe production (hot extrusion process)
Hot extrusion process
(Ugine-Sejournet process)
Hot extrusion is a process in which heated billets are
inserted into the cylinder, known as a container, and
extruded with a hydraulic press. The specified outside
diameter and thickness can be obtained with a die and
mandrel. For pipes requiring higher dimensional accuracy
and a surface nish, they are nished through cold rolling
for the nal product.
With this process, fin pipes & tubes or various shaped
steel other than steel pipes & tubes can be produced.
Hot hollow forging process
(Ehrhardt Push Bench process)
Hot forging is a process for producing large-diameter thick
pipes that are used in severe environments, such as main
steam pipes at power plants.

Electric resistance-welded pipes & tubes
Electric resistance-welded pipes & tubes are produced by forming the coil into a cylindrical form with top/bottom and left/right
forming rolls while continuously rewinding the coil to be electric resistance welded.
For a hot-nish electric resistance-welded pipe & tube (SR pipe), a long-size electric resistance welded pipe & tube is heated
in a continuous heating furnace and drawn and nished by a stretch reducer. It is used to produce small-diameter pipes. Fur-
thermore, NSSMC produces PIC (Pipe in Coil) in which the pipe is formed into a coil as a long-size pipe, in particular.
Heat exchanger tubes by cold drawing are also produced.

Butt-welded pipes & tubes (CW), hot electric resistance-welded (SW) pipes & tubes
Butt-welded pipes & tubes (CW) are produced by heat-
ing the coil to a butt-weld temperature through a heating
furnace while continuously rewinding the coil. This heated
coil is put through the forming butt-welding roll to form the
pipe. It is nished to a specied size through a drawing roll
and sizing roll.
Hot electric resistance-welded (SW) pipes & tubes are
produced by electric resistant welding the heated coil and
nishing it to a specied size with a reducing mill.

Arc-welded pipes & tubes
UO process
UO pipes are produced by forming the both ends of the
plate into a groove, forming the groove-shaped steel into
a cylindrical shape with a U press and O press, and then
arc welding the linear joints from the inside and outside
(submerged arc welding).
Bending roll process
Bending rolled pipes have two processes: A press bend
process for nishing pipes & tubes into a cylindrical shape
with a forming press and a bending roll process to rstly
make a circular shape at both edges of the steel sheet
with a bend press, and then to make a perfect cylinder
shape by rolling. The linear joints of a formed shape are
arc welded (submerged arc welding) from the inside and
outside.
Spiral welding process
Spiral welded pipes are produced by bending and forming
a coil into a spiral with a forming roll while continuously
rewinding the coil, and by welding the joints from the inside
and outside.
