What Does ERW Mean?
ERW means Electric Resistance Welded. Steel strip is formed into a hollow profile and its longitudinal seam is welded using electrical resistance. ERW describes the manufacturing method, not one single material grade.

Grade Information
Grade: supplier dependent. ERW identifies the manufacturing process rather than a guaranteed material grade. If your project requires a specific grade, contact K I Metals before ordering and obtain written confirmation.
Manufacturing Standard
Products may be supplied to EN 10305-5, IS 4923, or another applicable supplier standard. The applicable standard must be confirmed where project-critical.
Surface Condition
ERW Mild Steel Box Section is supplied with a normal mill surface. Mill scale, light oxidation, handling marks, a visible weld seam and minor cosmetic variation can occur as normal manufacturing characteristics.
Corrosion Protection
Untreated mild steel can rust when exposed to moisture. For outdoor, decorative or long-term use, consider a suitable primer, paint system, powder coating or another available protective finish.
Typical Applications
- Furniture and display frames
- Gates, railings and light fabricated frames
- Machine guards and protective structures
