TimkenSteel develops new manufacturing process for high-pressure tubing
TimkenSteel, Canton, Ohio, a provider of customized alloy steel products and services, has developed a new process to manufacture high-pressure tubing (HPT) for use in the production of low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
The process begins at the Canton facility with the forge-rolling and heat-treating of special bar quality steel. The material then is sent to TimkenSteel Material Services in Houston, where it is bored and honed. According to the company, the process reduces lead times and allows customers to buy smaller lot sizes.
The company recently entered into a supply agreement with A&A Machine & Fabrication LLC of La Marque, Texas, to further process, market, and sell HPT for LDPE customers.
