Luke Steel is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of CDS (Cold Drawn Seamless) tubing, proudly based in Houston, USA. Known for their precision-engineered steel tubing, Luke Steel offers top-notch CDS tubing that adheres to strict industry standards for strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. They cater to a wide array of industries, including automotive, aerospace, hydraulic systems, and mechanical engineering, ensuring that their products perform reliably and are delivered on time. Their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has established them as a go-to source for CDS tubing solutions throughout the United States, especially for applications that require exceptional strength and precision.
CDS tubing is crafted by cold drawing seamless steel tubes through a die, which helps achieve exact dimensions, a smooth surface finish, and improved mechanical properties. Typically made from carbon or alloy steels, CDS tubing boasts high tensile strength ranging from 500 to 700 MPa, along with excellent yield strength. The cold drawing process enhances hardness, dimensional tolerances, and surface smoothness while boosting strength and fatigue resistance. Additionally, CDS tubing offers good ductility and machinability, making it perfect for applications that need tight tolerances, high pressure, and corrosion resistance when coated or treated.
