What Is Tube Fabrication?
Tube fabrication is the process of creating tubes in various shapes and sizes.
Several methods are prevalent in tube fabrication. Cold drawing refines metal tubes by pulling them through a die for shape precision. Extrusion pushes heated metal through a die to form the tube. Welding shapes metal sheets into tubes and secures the seam. Seamless tube fabrication heats and pierces a steel billet, stretching it into a seamless tube.
These techniques have wide applications across industries. In the automotive sector, they contribute to vehicle frames, engines, and exhaust systems. Construction uses them for structural integrity, piping, and railings. They are also essential in crafting furniture, such as tables and chairs.
