What type of steel is DOM tubing?

Technically, DOM is not a type of steel tube, but rather the process in which the tube is finished. It is considered a high quality tube, and is normally constructed from SAE 1020 or 1026 steel.

How much stronger is DOM tubing?

The HREW is basically mild steel with a yield strength of around 40ksi. The DOM is the same material put through a secondary process where the tube is cold drawn over a mandrel which produces a more consistent and stronger tube. This process creates a tube that has a yield strength of around 70ksi.

What does DOM steel mean?

Drawn Over Mandrel
DOM stands for Drawn Over Mandrel, and it’s a welding method used to create high-quality steel tubes through 1020/1026 electric resistance. The term DOM tubing is typically used to describe a type of a high strength steel tube.

Is Dom the same as seamless?

DOM tubing is often incorrectly referred to as “seamless tubing” because the seam is almost invisible. DOM is a process that takes the rough cold-formed steel tube and continues to process it further to smooth out the internal surface of the weld seam while improving its mechanical characteristics.

Is DOM tubing stronger than ERW?

With both tubing choices being nearly identical in strength, what is the real difference. Well the truth is they start out exactly the same, that is to say as ERW tubing.

Does DOM tubing have a seam?

In these cases, the tube will be cold drawn over a mandrel, bringing excellent dimensional tolerance and surface finish. Another major benefit of DOM materials is that they boast the strongest weld strength you can find. DOM products do have a seam, despite them sometimes mistakenly being labeled as seamless tube.

Does Dom have a weld seam?

What kind of tubing is Dom steel?

DOM Steel tube (Drawn over Mandrel) is an electric welded tube with all weld flash removed. Tested for weld soundness, drawn over a mandrel and retested. DOM Steel Tubing has a superior finish and wall uniformity to seamless tubing.

What kind of applications can Dom round steel tubes be used for?

DOM Round Steel Tube is ideal for more stressful applications requiring higher quality, increased mechanical properties, uniformity, strength, and soundness. Applications: race car frames, roll cages, motorcycle frames, spindles, rollers, shafts, engine mounts, bushings, cylinders, telescoping, etc.

How big are hot rolled round steel tubes?

0.188” 0.250” Hot rolled round steel tubes are measured by their outside diameter and their wall thickness. Their round structure allows them to have numerous types of architectural and structural applications. Hot rolled round steel tube is easy to cut, weld, form and machine.

What kind of steel is used in hot rolled tubs?

Multiple styles and alloys are available, including seamless 4130 steel tubing, chrome plated round hot rolled tubing, and more. From construction and architecture to aerospace manufacturing to motorsports vehicles, round steel tubing can be found in almost every market.
