Steel Tubes for Automobile |
The use of steel
tube in Automotive Industry has been
on the increase since the beginning
of 90's, especially in safety
structures and safety related
components of vehicles. Increase
applications and high demand of
steel tubes in automobile sector is
due to its reliability, strength and
corrosion resistance properties.
High capacity of energy absorption,
high safety of the construction and
resistance against collision shocks,
makes steel tubes an imperative
component of Automobile Industry. |

Close tolerance on
diameter and thickness, exceptional
concentricity and a smooth finish, both
inside and outside, facilitate engineers to
obtain uniform flow under controlled
temperature and pressure. Its chemical
composition, mechanical properties, weld
ability and corrosion/oxidation resistance
provide the best all-round performance at
relatively low cost. It also has excellent
low temperature properties and responds well
to hardening by cold working.
Steel tube successfully meet the requirement
of advanced automotive industry. The main
feature of steel tubes are its high rigidity
and low weight leading to major cut down in
weight, dimensions, material and total cost.
Few examples of the use of steel tubes in
automobile industry are side impact
absorbers, steel frames, bumpers, the cross
members between ‘A’ pillars and engine
cradles.
