Our EN 10305-2 Cold Drawn Welded (CDW) Honed & SRB Tubes are precision-processed to deliver mirror-like internal finishes (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm) and H8 tolerance, making them ideal for hydraulic cylinder barrels.Compared with seamless tubes (EN 10305-1), these welded tubes provide a cost-effective solution while maintaining excellent straightness, roundness, and surface finish, suitable for both industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.

Manufacturing Process
1. Welded Tube Production – forming and longitudinal ERW welding of high-quality strip steel
2. Normalization / Heat Treatment – ensures uniform grain structure and weld integrity
3. Cold Drawing Over Mandrel (CDW) – improves dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties
4. Honing – produces smooth ID surface
5. Skiving & Roller Burnishing (SRB) – optional mirror finish Ra ≤ 0.2 μm
6. Inspection – dimensional, straightness, roundness, and surface roughness checks
