Steel Pipes Application » Steel Tubes for Automobile

The use of steel tube in Automotive Industry has been increase since the beginning of 90's. Steel tubes are main components for building safety related automobile parts. Increase applications and high demand of steel tubes in automobile sector is due to its active properties like - corrosion resistance, reliability and strength. Also high capacity of energy absorption, high construction safety and resistance against collision shocks make steel tubes an imperative component of Automobile Industry.

Auto parts made of steel tubes:

• Side impact absorber
• Steel frames
• Bumpers
• Engine cradles
• Pillar

Why use steel tube in making automobile parts:
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. The close tolerance of steel tubes on diameter and thickness, exceptional concentric and a smooth finish, both inside and outside, ease engineers to obtain uniform flow under controlled temperature and pressure. Its excellent low temperature property ensures smooth hardening by cold working which is why steel tubes are preferred material to other metals in Automobile Industry.
