At Kad India, we see welding not just as a process but as a precision-driven craft that defines the quality and reliability of every stainless steel pipe we fabricate. Across industries where cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and strength are non-negotiable, the welding method makes all the difference. From automated lines in pharmaceutical facilities to high-pressure systems in chemical plants, the right welding technique ensures the pipe doesn’t just fit but performs. We break down the key welding methods used in stainless steel pipe manufacturing, how they differ, and where each one excels.
Welding Methods
| Method | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| TIG | Thin/sanitary pipes | Clean, precise welds | Slow, skill needed |
| MIG | Thick/structural use | Fast, easy to learn | Less precise |
| Plasma Arc | Precision/automation | Deep, consistent welds | Expensive |
| Laser | High-volume, clean | Fast, minimal distortion | High setup cost |
| Orbital | Repetitive clean joints | Uniform, hands-free | Limited flexibility |
Which one is right for you?
| Condition | Method |
|---|---|
| Thin or clean piping | TIG, Orbital |
| Structural or heavy use | MIG, Submerged Arc |
| Automated production | Laser, Plasma Arc |
| Food/pharma environments | Orbital, TIG |
| Budget builds | MIG |
Welding technique influences everything from performance to compliance. At Kad Steel Rolling Mills, we combine the right methods with skilled execution to deliver reliable, long-lasting stainless steel piping.
