1020 Steel DOM Telescopic Tube

A 1020 steel DOM telescopic tube is a Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) tubing that’s cut from a 1020 electric resistance welded (ERW) steel tube or mother tube. This type of tube is processed through a cold drawing operation over a mandrel, enhancing surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and structural integrity.

Before being drawn, the mother tubes undergo a phosphate bath to remove surface scale. It also adds lubricity, which reduces friction and prolongs die life. From this treatment, finish and consistency are improved during telescopic tube production.

Properties of 1020 Steel DOM Telescopic Tube

Because of the material it’s made of and the process it undergoes, the 1020 steel DOM telescopic tube has many advantageous properties.

Precision

DOM steel tubing offers tight dimensional tolerances, particularly on the outside diameter (OD), inside diameter (ID), and wall thickness.

Superior Surface Finish

The cold drawing process provides a smooth, high-quality finish that’s critical for applications where friction reduction is essential, such as hydraulic cylinders, bushings, and shafting.

Concentricity

Its ability to have a common center or concentricity is optimal due to having a minimal variation in wall thickness. This consistency is vital for high-pressure and rotational applications like pneumatic cylinders.

Strength

Cold working increases the yield strength and tensile strength of this telescopic tub. Its 1020 carbon steel base allows it to handle bending, torsion, and heavy loading without cracking or deforming.

Machinability

DOM tubing is easy to machine for precision metal parts. It only requires a minimal stock allowance for clean-up.

Versatile Sizing

1020 steel DOM telescopic tub comes in many sizes. It’s available in an almost limitless combination of ODs and wall thickness by adjusting dies and mandrels.

Cost Efficiency

Because DOM tubing is more refined than standard ERW, it’s typically more affordable than cold-drawn seamless tubing.

Versatility Across Mechanical Applications

Because the 1020 DOM steel tubing has uniform wall thickness, precision tolerances, and high strength, it’s ideal for both static and dynamic applications.

Automotive and Heavy Equipment

DOM steel tubing is widely used in automotive components, including axles, transmission shafts, gas springs, shock absorbers, suspension components, and bushings.

Applications of 1020 Steel DOM Telescopic Tube

Carbon Steel Tube ASTM A-513 can be used for a wide variety of mechanical applications. It may be used either statically or dynamically. With its cold drawn strength, machinability, and concentricity, it’s suitable for moving parts exposed to torsion, vibration, and repeated load cycles.

Hydraulic and Fluid Power Systems

DOM telescopic tubing excels in hydraulic cylinder applications, offering smooth ID surfaces that reduce friction and ensure effective sealing. It’s commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and fluid power actuators.

Telescoping Assemblies

1020 DOM round tube is frequently used in telescoping tube applications due to its tight tolerances, smooth surface finish, and consistent wall dimensions. They are typically made into adjustable components, precision-guided extension systems, and other parts that need to slide or nest.
