Tube drawing

This process produces high-quality tubing with precise dimensions, good surface finish, and the added strength of cold working.Because it is so versatile, tube drawing is suitable for both large- and small-scale production.As the tube thickness increases the surface finish quality decreases.The advantage to this process is that the mandrel defines the inner diameter and the surface finish and has a quick setup time for short runs.This type of process is usually used on heavy walled or small (inner diameter) tubes.
