Floating Plug Drawing Capabilities for Stainless Steel Tubes

Floating Mandrel Drawing process shrinks a large diameter tube to a smaller diameter tube. With an inserted mandrel, the tube is drawn through a die that pinches the tube to a smaller size. This tube drawing technique reduces the outer diameter, inner diameter, and wall thickness of the tube. The integrity of the surface of the tube is maintained, ideal for stainless steel tubes.

Tube Materials Used

Teshima International Corpration works with stainless steel grades that are fitting for medical and industrial use. Commonly used stainless steel grades and metals include:

• Stainless Steel Grade 304
• Stainless Steel Grade 304L
• Stainless Steel Grade 316
• Stainless Steel Grade 316L
• Brass

Teshima International Corpration can also fabricate custom tubes from other materials per our client's request. Please click Request Information to submit a query with your custom material requests.

Capabilities

Annealing

Annealing is the process of heating metal above re-crystallization and cooling back to room temperature. When metal is formed to shape, the molecular bonds tighten, making the metal stiff. To restore ductility, the metal is processed through annealing machines. At Teshima International Corp., we specialize in the annealing of stainless steel. With ten annealing machines in our factory, orders are processed quickly and efficiently.
