Mechanical Tubing (as-welded) applications extend to automotive parts, fitness equipment, furniture and office systems and a variety of other manufactured products. Welded Tube of Canada manufactures mechanical tubing in round, square, rectangular and custom shapes.
Principal benefits you can expect from Welded Tube of Canada as-welded tubing in mechanical applications are:
Uniformity - As-welded mechanical tubing has uniform wall thickness and concentricity, as well as uniform mechanical properties.
Strength - Cold forming gives as-welded mechanical tubing yield and tensile strength than the steel from which it is made.
Less Processing - The close dimensional tolerances of as-welded mechanical tubing encourages its use for mechanical parts with minimal downstream processing.
Cost-Effectiveness - Mechanical tubing (as-welded) undergoes less processing than other types of tubing, thereby providing cost advantages in demanding applications.
Wide Size Range - As-welded tubing is available in an exceptionally broad range of OD and wall thickness dimensions.
Surface Finish - As-welded tubing is produced with superior surface finish characteristics for plating and painting applications.
