Abstract

A butt welded tube is provided having excellent properties by the steps of forming a skelp onto a round shape, butt welding the edges thereof with butt welding rolls, blowing oxygen or air into the weld zone, so that said zone is brought to a melted condition with oxidizing heat based on said blowing and some notches which are formed are blown off with said blowing, and then said tube is passed through a train of reducing rolls to obtain a smooth surface and the required dimension of said tube.
