Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for manufacturing an exhaust pipe assembly which are capable of decreasing a temperature difference between a seam-welded outer and inner surface at the time of seam welding. The apparatus comprises an outer circumferential electrode wheel abutted on an outer circumference of a mounting ring, a pressing means pressing the outer circumferential electrode wheel to the mounting ring, an inner circumferential electrode wheel abutted on an inner circumference of a pipe making up an exhaust pipe assembly, a transformer serving as a voltage supply means for supplying a predetermined voltage to the outer and inner circumferential electrode wheels and, and a controller for controlling voltage of the transformer. Thickness T1 of the outer circumferential electrode wheel is larger than thickness T2 of the inner circumferential electrode wheel.
