Manufacturing Process
Our ASTM A513 Grade 1010 gravity conveyor roller tubing is crafted for precision and reliability:
1. Electric Resistance Welding (ERW): Steel strips are welded and cold-formed to achieve precise dimensions (e.g., 2 in x 0.065 in / Ø50.8 x 1.65 mm), ensuring high-quality ERW steel tubing.
2. Cold Forming: Enhances dimensional accuracy and surface quality for smooth rotation in gravity rollers.
3. Heat Treatment: As-welded or normalized conditions optimize mechanical properties for lightweight material handling.
4. Surface Finishing: Smooth, clean surfaces, often oiled or phosphated, ensure corrosion resistance and low-friction performance.
5. Quality Testing: Dimensional checks, tensile testing, and non-destructive testing (e.g., eddy current) ensure compliance with ASTM A513 standards.
This process delivers precision welded tubing optimized for gravity conveyor roller performance.
