Manufacturing Process

Our ASTM A513/A519 high-strength drive shaft tubing is crafted for precision and durability:

1. Electric Resistance Welding (ERW, A513): Steel strips are welded and cold-drawn over a mandrel (DOM) to achieve precise dimensions (e.g., 3.000 x 0.120 inches/76.2 x 3 mm), enhancing strength for precision welded tubing.
2. Seamless Processing (A519): Tubes are hot-rolled or pierced, then cold-drawn for superior strength, ideal for seamless torque transmission tubing.
3. Heat Treatment: Normalizing, stress-relieving, or annealing optimizes mechanical properties for dynamic load bearing.
4. Surface Finishing: Smooth, clean surfaces, often oiled or phosphated, ensure corrosion resistance and ease of assembly.
5. Quality Testing: Dimensional checks, tensile testing, and non-destructive testing (e.g., eddy current for A513, ultrasonic for A519) ensure compliance with ASTM standards.

This process delivers carbon steel drive shaft tubing and alloy steel drive shaft tubing optimized for automotive and industrial applications.
