Manufacturing Process
1. Hot Rolled Strip Steel (SPHC) – base material selection
2. Tube Forming & Welding – electric resistance welded (ERW) into tube shape
3. Cold Drawing – improves dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties
4. Heat Treatment – stress relieving or normalizing for consistency
5. Finishing – cutting, straightening, end preparation
6. Optional Surface Treatments – phosphated, oiled, e-coated for corrosion resistance
7. Inspection & Testing – dimensional checks, weld integrity, straightness
Advantages
·Cost-effective compared to seamless tubes
·Excellent weldability for shock absorber assembly
·High dimensional accuracy from cold drawing
·Large diameter range for heavy-duty applications
·Flexible surface treatment options
Applications
Hydraulic shock absorbers for:
·Heavy trucks & buses
·Agricultural machinery
·Construction equipment
·Industrial dampers
·Also used in hydraulic cylinders where CDW precision tubing is suitable
