Advantages
1. Superior Surface Finish & Precision: Mirror-like internal surface (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm) reduces friction and wear, extending seal life;Tighter tolerances (H8/H9) than DOM or honed tubes for better piston fit.
2. Material Performance Benefits: Chromium-molybdenum alloy provides superior toughness and impact resistance;Heat-treatable for customized hardness.
3. Enhanced Durability & Strength: AISI 4140/42CrMo4 SRB Tube work-hardened inner surface from roller burnishing increases wear resistance;High tensile strength for heavy-load applications;Excellent fatigue resistance for dynamic, high-pressure cycles
4. Corrosion Resistance: The steel composition provides moderate resistance to corrosion, especially when properly maintained.
5. Seamless Construction: The seamless nature of the tube ensures uniformity and reliability in high-pressure applications.
6. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and precision engineering components.

Delivery Conditions
Designation | Symbol | Description |
Cold finished (hard) | BK | Tubes do not undergo heat treatment following the final cold forming and thus have a rather high resistance to deformation. |
Cold finished (soft) | BKW | The final heat treatment is followed by cold drawing involving limited deformation.Appropriate further processing allows a certain degree of cold forming(e.g.bending,expanding). |
Cold finished and stress-relieved | BKS | Heat treatment is applied following the last cold forming process.Subject to appropriate processing conditionsthe increase in the residual stresses involved enables both forming and machining to a certain degree. |
Annealed | GBK | The last cold forming process is followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere |
Normalized | NBK | The last cold forming process is followed by annealing above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere. |
