Basic information

The extrusion process is an essential step in the production of tubes, but depending on the specific industry and application, additional drawing processes may be required. This is particularly true when there is a need for a high level of dimensional control or tight tolerances. In such cases, the final outside diameter and wall thickness of the extruded tubes can only be achieved through subsequent cold drawing. Furthermore, these drawing processes are crucial for achieving the desired mechanical properties for non-heat treatable alloys through strain hardening or for fulfilling specific requirements for the microstructure of the tubes. These additional steps ensure that the tubes meet the highest industry standards and can be used effectively in various applications across different sectors.
