Precision E355 Carbon Steel Tube (EN10305-2) for Automotive Systems
Manufactured in strict compliance with the EN10305-2 standard, this precision tube utilizes E355 grade carbon steel known for its excellent weldability and high yield strength. Through the cold drawing process, the tube achieves superior dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface finish, while maintaining a thin-wall design to reduce vehicle weight. It is widely used in automotive chassis systems, seat frames, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars.

Delivery Conditions
- +C: No heat treatment after the final cold drawing process
- +LC: After the final heat treatment there is a suitable drawing pass
- +SR: After the final cold drawing process there is a stress relieve heat treatment in a controlled atmosphere
- +A: After the final cold drawing process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere
- +N: After the final cold drawing operation the tubes are normalized in a controlled atmosphere
Advantages Over Seamless Cold Drawn Tubes
- Better shape and dimensional consistency
- Improved quality surface finish
- Tight eccentricity and wall thickness tolerances
- Enhanced safety performance
- Good toughness at low temperatures
- 90% of cylinders in the USA market are produced with welded tubes
- Cost-effective fixed lengths
