The OD Scarfing Insert – SNG452 is a square tungsten carbide insert widely used in tube and pipe mills for removing external weld beads (OD scarfing) during high-frequency welded (HFW) pipe production.
- Material: Made from tungsten carbide, often with CVD coatings to resist heat, abrasion, and deformation.
- Relief Angles & Radii: Available in multiple radii (e.g., R12, R14, R16, R18, R20, R25, R30, R40, R50, R60, R70, R80). The radius is chosen based on tube outer diameter — usually between 110% and 150% of the tube OD.
- Applications: Designed for outer diameter weld bead removal in ERW/HFW tube mills, ensuring smooth surfaces for downstream processes like galvanizing, threading, or coating.

- High precision: Produces clean OD surfaces with minimal burrs.
- Durability: Carbide + coating resists thermal shock and wear in continuous scarfing operations.
- Cost-effective: Multi-edge design reduces insert change frequency.
- Compatibility: Fits standard OD scarfing holders used in tube mills worldwide.
