Drawing of precision and profiled steel tubes




After welding, many JANSEN tubes go on to subsequent processing as drawn precision steel tubes in acoordance with DIN 2393 to produce a semi-finished product.

 

How are drawn precision steel tubes made?

The drawing tag - a section of reduced diameter - is formed at one end of the semi-finished product.

The tube is annealed in a through-type furnace at a temperature of about 920°C; to normalise the structure.

The surface is chemically prepared in the tube pickling plant for the drawing process.

On the draw bench, the semi-finished product is drawn through the annular gap between the precision ground outer die (external tool) and the plug (internal mandrel) to reduce both diameter and wall thickness.

After drawing, the tubes are straightened.

Drawing tag and end of tube are sawn off.

All JANSEN tubes are checked before dispatch to ensure that they comply with the customer's specifications
