Thin Wall Stainless Tubing

Since the mid-1980s, Dynamic Flowform has used the precision flowforming process to produce thin wall stainless tubing. Flowformed thin wall stainless tubing and tubes are used in military, nuclear, medical, and industrial and other applications. All flowformed components, including thin wall stainless tubing, are seamless which eliminates any problems of weld failure and eliminates the the cost of welding and its related manufacturing and testing problems. In fact, for a myriad of reasons, it is often more economical to flowform thin wall stainless tubing than to create them through other manufacturing methods; such as machining solid bar and/or roll and welding sheet. In addition to economical advantages, by flowforming the thin walled stainless tubing, there are often dimensional, mechanical and metallurgical benefits. For example, flowformed thin wall stainless steel tubing have an excellent combination of tensile strength and ductility.

Our flowformed components range in size from diameters of 0.866” to 25.600” (22-650mm), wall thicknesses from 0.006” to 0.600” (0.15-15mm) with lengths up to 26.5 ft. (8 meters). Since flowform poses no limitations on the relationship between components diameter and wall thickness, quite often we produce large diameters with precise thin walls.
