Hot rolled tubing is ideal for robust, structural applications due to its durability and affordability. It is manufactured by rolling steel at high temperatures, which provides strength and ease of machining. Although less precise in dimension than cold rolled options, hot rolled steel is excellent for projects where tolerance is less critical.
Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled Steel Tubing
This tubing undergoes an acid bath to remove scale from the surface, followed by an application of oil for rust prevention. It retains the strength of hot rolled steel while offering a cleaner surface, making it suitable for applications requiring a more refined finish.
Cold Rolled Steel Tubing
Produced at room temperature, cold rolled steel tubing boasts tighter tolerances and a smoother finish compared to hot rolled alternatives, making it ideal for precision applications and those requiring enhanced aesthetic appeal.
Aluminum Killed Drawing Quality Tubing (AKDQ)
AKDQ tubing involves the addition of aluminum to the alloy, enhancing ductility and surface finish. It is particularly suited for drawing operations and other applications that require strong formability and weldability without gas bubble formation during welding.
High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steel Tubing
HSLA steel is engineered to offer high strength and a light weight, making it perfect for demanding structural applications. It features improved formability and better corrosion resistance, blending the best qualities of steel for advanced engineering projects.
