The 1026 Cold drawn seamless tubing is a kind of cold-drawn steel tube that offers uniform tolerances, enhanced machinability, and increased strength and tolerances compared to hot-rolled steel tubes. Produced from hot rolled 1026, the cold drawing process increases the tube’s physical properties and offers better tolerances and reduced machining allowances over hot finish seamless.The 1026 Cold drawn seamless tubing is produced by piercing hot billets and subsequent rolling which reduces their diameter and elongates them. This material is then passed through a die and over a mandrel plug to produce an accurate size and gauge which is the essence of the cold drawing process. 1026 cold drawn seamless tubing is widely used in hydraulic system with hydraulic barrels,precision steel tube, hydraulic press with precision steel tube, shipbuilding with steel tube, hydraulic cylinders,hydraulic cutting machine, hydraulic equipment, hydraulic tubing, engineering machinery.
Benefits of 1026 Cold Drawn Seamless Tubing
1. Higher strength & hardness properties
Cold drawing increases the strength of the tube therefore making it very suitable for safety and performance critical applications.
2. Size accuracy
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process drawn tubes can be manufactured to close dimensional tolerances, achieving consistent diameter and thicknesses throughout.
3. Enhanced appearance
Cold drawn seamless tube usually has a shinier look with no weld lines increasing the aesthetics of the products in which it is incorporated.
4. Uniform micro-structure
Due to the cold drawing process, CDS has excellent micro-structure uniformity and consistency.
5. Easier to machine
Due to the superior strength and hardness, it produces a better machined surface and therefore a better-looking component.
