Method for manufacturing electroseamed metal tube, and electroseamed metal tube

Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing an electric resistance welded metal pipe by butting side ends of a metal strip against each other and then welding the side ends by high frequency heating to manufacture an electric resistance welded metal pipe, each side end being provided with an inner surface side corner portion located on an inner surface side of the electric resistance welded metal pipe, wherein the method comprises a step of forming an inclined surface at the inner surface side corner portion before butting the side ends of the metal strip; and wherein the side ends are butted and welded to each other such that the inclined surface remains on an excess metal of the metal pipe after electric resistance welding and a discharged metal is not welded to the excess metal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
