Drawn Over Mandrel Steel Tubing Surface Treatment:
Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) steel tubing often undergoes various surface treatments to enhance its performance, protect it from corrosion, and improve its appearance.
1. Pickling and Passivation
Pickling: The tubing is immersed in an acidic solution to remove oxides and scale from the surface.
Passivation: Following pickling, the tubing is treated with a passivating agent to form a protective oxide layer that improves corrosion resistance.
2. Galvanizing
Hot-Dip Galvanizing: The tubing is dipped into molten zinc, creating a thick, durable coating that offers excellent corrosion protection.
Electro-Galvanizing: The tubing is coated with zinc using an electrochemical process, providing a thinner, more uniform layer compared to hot-dip galvanizing.
3. Phosphating
This process involves applying a phosphate coating to the tubing, which enhances corrosion resistance and provides a good base for subsequent painting or coating.
4. Anodizing
Mainly used for aluminum tubing, this electrochemical process creates a thick, durable oxide layer on the surface, enhancing corrosion resistance and allowing for various color finishes.
5. Painting and Powder Coating
Painting: The tubing is coated with paint to provide a protective layer and improve aesthetic appearance.
Powder Coating: A dry powder is applied electrostatically and then cured under heat to form a hard, protective finish.
6. Oiling
A thin layer of oil is applied to the surface of the tubing to provide temporary corrosion protection during storage and transportation.
7. Mechanical Polishing
The tubing is mechanically polished to achieve a smooth, shiny surface, which is often required for aesthetic or hygiene-related applications.
8. Blasting
Sandblasting or Shot Blasting: The surface is blasted with abrasive materials to remove scale, rust, and other contaminants, creating a clean, roughened surface that enhances paint adhesion.
9. Heat Treatments
Annealing: Heating the tubing to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it to remove internal stresses and improve ductility.
Normalizing: Heating the tubing above its critical temperature and air cooling to refine the grain structure and improve mechanical properties.
Drawn Over Mandrel Steel Tubing Advantages:
1. Enhanced Mechanical Properties: DOM steel tubing offers improved mechanical properties compared to standard welded or seamless tubes, including higher tensile and yield strengths.
2. Dimensional Accuracy: The manufacturing process ensures precise dimensions, providing tighter tolerances and consistent tube sizes.
3. Uniformity: DOM tubing exhibits uniform wall thickness and eliminates issues like seam weld defects found in welded tubes.
4. Excellent Surface Finish: DOM tubing has a smooth surface finish, suitable for applications that require superior aesthetics or reduced friction.
5. Improved Machinability: The cold-drawn process enhances the machinability of DOM steel tubing, allowing for easier fabrication and customization.
