Stainless steel oval tube FAQ

The manufacturing process for our welded stainless steel tubes begins with the formation of a flat stainless steel strip/coil into a cylindrical shape, followed by welding along the seam. These tubes are then cold-drawn through rollers and dies to achieve an oval cross-section, enhancing both their mechanical properties and surface smoothness. Subsequent bright annealing heat treatment ensures the uniformity of these properties. To attain the required surface quality, finishing treatments such as polishing or satin finishing are applied. The final stage involves precision cutting of the tubes to specified lengths using methods like laser or saw cutting.
Yes, oval tubes come in a variety of sizes and wall thicknesses, and they can also be custom-fabricated to meet specific requirements. MW METAL can offer oval tube of two shapes, oval and flat oval. You can refer to the table above for specific parameters.
Yes, they can be finished with a number of options such as brushed/satin finish, 600G polish, 6k and 8k mirror to suit different aesthetic preferences and applications.
Regular cleaning with mild detergent and water is sufficient for most applications. For tougher stains, specialty stainless steel cleaners may be used, followed by rinsing and drying to prevent water spots.
Yes, like other stainless steel products, oval tubes are 100% recyclable and can be melted down to produce new stainless steel products, contributing to the material's sustainability.
