Manufacturing Process of Cold Drawn Seamless Tubing

Cold drawn seamless tubing is manufactured by drawing a solid metal billet through a piercing rod to create a hollow tube that has no seams or welds. Because there are no seams, the tubing is more structurally sound and can withstand extreme environments and stressors when compared to welded or hot-rolled tubes. Cold drawn seamless tubing is ideal for extreme environments and critical applications, including:

• Aerospace
• Agricultural
• Automotive
• Construction
• Energy
• Hydraulic
• Locomotive
• Mechanical engineering
• Oil and gas
• Power
• Trucking

Differences between DOM & Cold Drawn Seamless Tubing

DOM, or drawn over mandrel tubing, is primarily used in automotive, industrial, and construction applications. DOM is welded, while cold drawn seamless (CDS) tubing is seamless. DOM undergoes a cold drawing process over a mandrel, resulting in a smooth finish. CDS is completely seamless and manufactured by drawing a solid metal billet through a piercing rod so no weld seam is created. DOM is generally less expensive, but CDS is ideal for high-pressure applications.
