Our ASTM A513 Cold Drawn Welded (CDW) Honed & SRB Tubes are precision-
Our ASTM A513 Cold Drawn Welded (CDW) Honed & SRB Tubes are precision-
These tubes combine the cost-effectiveness of welded tubing with high-precision finishing, providing:
·Mirror-like internal bore (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm for honed, Ra ≤ 0.2 μm for SRB)
·Tight dimensional tolerances (H8)
·Excellent straightness for reliable piston travel
Ideal for medium-pressure hydraulic cylinders, industrial machinery, automotive, and agricultural applications where high-quality bore finish is required but seamless tubes are not necessary.
Typical Steel Grades
·ST52 (ASTM A513 Type 5 DOM equivalent)
·SAE 1026 (carbon steel DOM tubing)
·Optional: 1020 or 1025 depending on mechanical requirements
Common Sizes (OD × WT × ID)
·Ø40 mm × 5 mm
·Ø50 mm × 6 mm
·Ø63.5 mm × 6.35 mm
·Ø76 mm × 7 mm
·Ø90 mm × 8 mm
·Ø100 mm × 10 mm
Custom metric and imperial sizes available upon request.

Manufacturing Process
1. Welded Tube Production – ERW from high-quality strip steel
2. Cold Drawing Over Mandrel (DOM) – improves dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties
3. Heat Treatment / Normalization – enhances weld integrity
4. Honing – precise abrasive finishing for Ra ≤ 0.4 μm
5. Skiving & Roller Burnishing (SRB) – optional mirror ID finish Ra ≤ 0.2 μm
6. Inspection – dimensional, straightness, roundness, and surface roughness checks
