With the introduction of coiled steel approximately 100 years ago, welded tube and pipe mills became popular. A tube mill begins with an uncoiler, straightener, and shear end welder at the entry of the line. The "forming" part of the mill is made of a breakdown section and forming section that takes 3 to 6 passes. Each pass is made up of a lower and upper arbor containing roller die tooling which gradually forms the steel into a tube shape.

Several more passes are made to get the new tube… Continue

What is steel tube?



There are the pipe like structure made up of different alloys like Manganese, Aluminium, Tungsten & Titanium. They are strong, tough & durable in nature and are often moulded in rectangular, round & square shape. They say - every year around tonnes of steel tubing's are manufactured - as it has vast application in various construction industries.



Types of steel tube



They are of two types - seamless & welded. Molten steel is… Continue

Aluminium Extruded Tubes are metal tubes manufactured from aluminum and produced by method of extrusion.



Extrusion is a manufacturing process that is designed to produce objects (like tubing) of a fixed cross-sectional profile. The Aluminum is drawn or pushed through a die, the die is manufactured in the shape of the desired cross section. These can be created using a manufacturing process however extrusion has two main advantages:…

By the name, it is quite understood that cold & hot rolled steel hold some differences. But it is not due to the difference in their grade or specification, it is due to how they are treated inside the mill or factory during the manufacturing process.



Hot rolled steel utilizes the high temperatures to roll the steel, whereas, steel is processed in cold temperature once it is off with the annealing (heating element & allowing it to cool slowly) process.



What is Hot… Continue
