What is Automotive Tube
Automotive tubing must simultaneously meet stringent requirements for performance, durability, and aesthetics. It is a high-performance component:
It offers excellent cold formability, adapting to the complex piping layout within the vehicle body;
It is highly corrosion-resistant, resisting the effects of exhaust fumes, oil, and the external environment;
and it offers an exceptionally smooth surface finish on exposed parts.
Our seamless tubing meets these comprehensive requirements, making it a reliable choice for the modern automotive industry.
Material Properties of TP304L
TP304L is an ideal material for automotive applications:
Its excellent ductility and formability ensure crack-free processing, making it suitable for the manufacture of complex pipe bends, such as those found in exhaust systems.
Its corrosion resistance is excellent, effectively withstanding corrosion from road conditions and exhaust condensate.
As a low-carbon grade, TP304L offers excellent weldability, maintaining good corrosion resistance even after welding during component manufacturing, ensuring long-term component durability.
