Precision Cold Drawn Tube
Precision Cold Drawn Tube is a type of stainless steel tubing produced through a precision rolling process. This technique involves further processing beyond standard rolling to reduce the tolerance of the tubing, enhance surface finish, and improve dimensional accuracy. The precision rolling technology results in tubing with higher strength, better dimensional precision, and more uniform wall thickness.
Technical Characteristics
1. High Precision: The precision rolling process achieves very tight diameter and wall thickness tolerances, typically within ±0.05mm.
2. High Surface Quality: Precision rolled tubes have smooth inner and outer surfaces, free from oxidation layers, making them suitable for applications requiring high surface quality.
3. Enhanced Strength and Toughness: The precision rolling process optimizes the mechanical properties of the tubing, resulting in higher strength and toughness.
4. Reduced Residual Stress: The process reduces residual stress in the tubing, providing greater stability during subsequent processing and use.
Applications
Automotive Industry: Used for hydraulic system lines, precision instrument tubing, etc.
Aerospace: For manufacturing components that require high strength and precision.
Energy Sector: Utilized in oil and gas transport, nuclear power plant equipment, etc.
