Cold Drawn Welded Steel Tube (CDW) – DIN 2393 | ASTM A513 (ST37-2, ST52-3)
High-Precision CDW Steel Tubes for Hydraulic, Automotive & Industrial Applications
Suao Metal supplies premium Cold Drawn Welded (CDW) Steel Tubes manufactured to DIN 2393a and ASTM A513 standards, available in grades ST37-2 and ST52-3. Our precision-engineered tubes deliver superior strength, tight tolerances, and excellent surface finishes—ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Key Features & Benefits
·Cold Drawn Precision – Enhances mechanical properties (higher tensile strength, improved hardness).
·Strict Compliance – Meets DIN 2393 (Germany) & ASTM A513 (USA) specifications.
·Smooth Surface Finish – Burr-free, ready for machining, coating, or welding.
·Wide Material Range – ST37-2 (S235JR equivalent) for weldability & ST52-3 (S355JR equivalent) for high-load applications.
·Custom Sizes – Available in various OD, wall thicknesses, and lengths to fit your requirements.
Common Applications
·Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems (Cylinder tubes, actuator components)
·Automotive Parts (Chassis, transmission, fuel lines)
·Machinery & Bearings (Conveyor rollers, bushings, shafts)
·Construction & Structural Engineering (Scaffolding, support frames)
