The billet used to manufacture a seamless tube does not separate during the extrusion process. Seamless extruded tubing is used for applications that require hydraulic pressures, severe forming, high uniform strength, and more uniform cosmetic appearance after anodizing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industries that rely on seamless tubing would be those involving high pressure and strength as seamless tubing has no weld seams which can be a source of weakness. Some examples of products manufactured from seamless tubing are aircraft hydraulic lines, aircraft seat frames, softball and baseball bats, truck and SUV drive shafts, and CNG cylinders, to name a few. We offer a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the varying needs and applications of the seamless extruded tubing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of producing seamless extruded tubing is illustrated below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1181 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Seamless Extruded Aluminum Tube Drawing 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1-600x464.jpg 600w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1-320x247.jpg 320w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-1.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A billet (our raw material) is heated and placed into the extrusion press.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1179 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Seamless Extruded Aluminum Tube Drawing 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-600x464.jpg 600w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-320x247.jpg 320w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seamless-DRAWING-2-1024x791.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To manufacture a seamless tube, the billet is then pierced with a mandrel.
