What Is Cold Drawn Tube?

Cold drawn steel tube, also called CDS tube, is a circular steel tube with a hollow section and no seams. It has the features of uniform tolerance, enhanced machinability, high strength, and bright surface compared to other hot-finished steel tubing products. This makes it widely used in many applications that require high strength, such as framework, heavy equipment, engine assemblies, gas tubes, etc.

Common Size: 12mm, 14mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 35mm, 38mm, 40mm, 42mm, 52mm

Theoretical Formula: [(outer diameter – wall thickness) * wall thickness] * 0.02466

What Is Cold Drawn Process?

The cold drawing process refers to the drawing of material at room temperature to achieve a certain shape and certain mechanical properties.

Cold-drawn steel pipes are produced using the cold-drawing process. In addition, the cold-drawing process can be used to produce large diameter pipes as well as seamless steel pipes up to 50 mm, etc. For more information, please contact Wanzhi Steel to obtain.

How Is CDS Tube Made?

The process of manufacturing cold drawn steel tubes is relatively complicate, generally by the following steps:

1. Raw Material Selection

– Materials with low hardness and good plasticity are preferentially selected under the condition of guaranteed strength of steel.
– The specifications of billet should be selected to ensure that its elongation is between 20% and 40%.
– The surface of billet should not have defects like pits, cracks, folds, scars, etc.
– Do not use billets that have been placed for too long a time.

2. Pretreatment

– The pickling and rust removal should be carried out thoroughly.
– The component concentrations of phosphating solution and saponification solution should be tested frequently to ensure that the production indicators of two are up to standard.
– The temperature and operation time of solution should be strictly controlled.

3. Manufacturing

The following is the CDS tube production process of Wanzhi Steel for your reference:

Billet preparation → heating → cutting → piercing → hot rolling (second piercing) → heading → annealing → pickling → multi-pass cold drawing → heat treatment → straightening → end cutting → finishing → inspection → storage →delivery
