What Is the Difference Between Cold Drawn Seamless Tubing and Hot Finished Seamless Tubing?

 Both Cold Drawn Seamless Tube and Hot Finished Seamless steel tubes provide strength and durability, but the process used to create each type of tubing provides slightly different advantages. Deciding whether Cold Drawn Seamless or Hot Finish Seamless is best will depend on how you plan to use the tubing for your application.

Cold Drawn Seamless mechanical tubing is created by hot rolling SAE 1018 carbon steel, then drawing it at room temperature. During the drawing process, the pointed end of the tube is passed through a die. Force is used to stretch the steel into the desired thickness and shape and smooth the surface. This type of steel tubing meets ASTM A519 standards. It provides high yield strength, close tolerances and a smooth finish that is preferable for many mechanical applications.

Hot Finished Seamless mechanical tubing is produced using SEA 1026 carbon steel and is manufactured using the same extrusion process, only without the final step of drawing the tube at room temperature. The HFS process produces a steel tube that is easily machinable and is ideal for applications where a close dimensional tolerance or smooth surface finish is not required. HFS steel tubing meets ASTM A519 standards and is commonly used for applications requiring a thicker, heavier wall.4140

What Are the Different Applications for Seamless Round Steel Tubing?

Seamless steel tubing is used for various mechanical applications. The cold drawn seamless  process creates a steel tube with tight tolerances and a smooth finish while HFS tubes have a rough finish with thicker walls. Both offer durability and good machinability, though CDS round steel tubes provide a higher strength-to-weight ratio.

How to deal with the scratch on the surface of hydraulic cylinder barrel

Image
As we all know,In the process of using the  hydraulic cylinder , the hydraulic cylinder barrel will be damaged,it is common that there will be scratch on the surface of the  honed tube , some customers will ignore these scratches, this to us is not responsible for the cylinder, when a small scratches in the cylinder,we usually take some tips to deal with them. 1.First,  to clean up the oil on the surface of our hydraulic cylinder barrel, then we will use the grinder machine to the surface treatment of the scratched part of our cylinder, at this time we have to grind the surface of the cylinder wall out of swallowtail groove. Although we have cleaned our cylinder at the beginning, at this time we need to clean the cylinder barrel further. At this time, we use anhydrous ethanol to clean the surface of the scratch repair of honed cylinder barrel. 2. We usually use special  repairing adhesive  to solve the scratches on the surface of  hydraulic cylinder barrel ...

Heat Treatments Of Seamless Steel Tube

Image
Heat treatment of  seamless steel tubes  is a process to improve the properties of metal materials and their products. Depending on the use, the material and its workpiece are heated to the appropriate temperature, insulated, and then cooled in different ways to alter the internal structure to achieve the desired performance. Heat treatment of seamless steel tubes is generally divided into annealing, normalizing, quenching, tempering, failure, chemical heat treatment and vacuum heat treatment. By heat treatment, the efficiency or life of the steel can be improved, and in some cases, more expensive special materials can be used instead of cheaper ordinary metal materials. The basic heat treatment methods of seamless steel tubes mainly include the following four forms: 1. Annealing Annealing is a process in which a seamless steel tube is heated to a slightly higher or lower critical temperature for a period of time (ie, heat preservation) and then slowly cooled. Common annealing...

HOW TO REPAIR THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ROD

  Hydraulic cylinders can be repaired, but you should never attempt these repairs on your own. Although hydraulic cylinders have a simple design, you must be familiar with them in order to efficiently repair them. When a technician performs hydraulic cylinder repairs, they take the entire mechanism apart and reassemble to find the root cause of the issue. COMMON POINTS OF HYDRAULIC CYLINDER FAILURE There are several common points of hydraulic cylinder failure. These include the piston, cylinder rod , seals, and head. PISTON The pistons in hydraulic cylinders are one of the most common points of failure. This is especially true in light-duty applications. The pistons used in light-duty applications are often made from aluminum, which wears out much more quickly than the steel used in heavy-duty applications. When checking pistons for failure, technicians will often measure the diameter of the piston. The piston’s diameter in relation to the bore directly affects the amount of hydra...
