- New method of manufacturing listed in ASTM A312 material specification (Heavily Cold Worked)
- Metallurgical equivalent of seamless
- Weld and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) eliminated via PCC Rollmet Inc.’s patented Cold Roll Extrusion process (seam free)
- Corrosion tested by ASTM 249 – former weld/parent metal decay ratios of less than 1.0
- Corrosion tested to ASTM 262 practice A, B, C, E and F
- Lower cost than seamless
- Sizes 6” to 12” schedule 20, 10 and 5(s)
- Cold Roll Extruded solid-solution alloy pipes offer greater strength than conventional manufactured pipe/tube because of the fine grain size achieved through cold working and recrystallization
- Cold Roll Extrusion, as a net process, achieves final pipe dimensions through metal displacement with very little waste
- Cold Roll Extrusion is performed at ambient room temperature
- Cold Roll Extrusion utilizes precision stainless steel and nickel alloy blanks or extruded preforms as starting material for all stainless and nickel alloy production
- Isotropic properties can be achieved either as a cold worked tubular or in all finished annealed tubular products
- Enhanced corrosion resistance is achieved through ASTM 5 or finer grain size
