Welded stainless steel square tube is a hollow structural section with four equal sides, manufactured by forming a flat strip into a tube shape and welding the seam along its length.
Our welded square tubes are produced using high-frequency electric resistance welding (ERW) or TIG welding processes. They offer excellent dimensional accuracy, consistent wall thickness, and a cost-effective solution for structural and mechanical applications.
