Mechanical Carbon Steel Tubing LTV Copperweld Automotive is a leading producer, for over 70 years running, of welded steel tubing.
Quality tubing begins with the careful selection of flat rolled steel.
We think long-term and therefore ignore spot buying opportunities. Instead, LTV Copperweld Automotive has developed long term relationships with several steel suppliers. Our ability to buy steel in complete heat lots of the same gauge and with the same chemistry ensures added consistency to finished tube. DestructiveTubeTesting is completed on line to ensure material and weld integrity QS-9000 registered ERW tubing is manufactured by cold forming the strip into the desired shape and passing it through an induction coil where it induces an alternating current in the outside surface of the open seam tube. The strip edges will become molten and then almost simultaneously they are rolled together to fuse a weld.
