Drawn-Over Mandrel
Drawn-Over Mandrel (DOM) mechanical steel tubing is manufactured from Electrical Resistance Welded (ERW) hollow tubing, additional processing by cold drawing through dies and over a mandrel, resulting in smooth and clean surface finish, mechanical properties and OD & ID dimensional accuracy.
Benefits
Benefits of using using Cold Drawn Welded tubing:
- Uniform grain structure and controlled hardness
- Uniform wall thickness with close OD and ID tolerances
- OD / Wall combinations that are not possible with traditional ERW tubes. i.e. low D/t (Outer diameter to wall thickness ratio)
- Greater size range availability compared to ERW tubes
- High tensile and yield strength
- Excellent machining characteristics
- Smooth and clean OD and ID surfaces
Applications & Sectors
Cold drawn welded and Cold drawn seamless tubing are commonly used in the following sectors / applications:
- Hydraulic cylinders & Telescopics
- Accumulators
- Axles
- Printing, textile and paper mills
- Spacers & Bushings
- Machined tubular parts
- Down Hole – PCP Pumps (Progressing Cavity Pumps)
- Steering Columns
- Shock Absorbers
- Drive Shafts
