Benefits of DOM

Here are the principal benefits you can expect from DOM tubing in mechanical applications:

Cost-Effectiveness
Close tolerances allow DOM to be used for mechanical parts with minimal or no downstream processing.

Strength
Cold-drawing gives DOM high yield and tensile strength.

Uniformity
DOM has uniform wall thickness and concentricity, as well as uniform mechanical properties.

Close Tolerances
DOM offers exceptionally close tolerances for OD, ID and wall thickness dimensions.

Surface Quality
OD and ID surfaces of DOM are free of oxide and scale and have a smooth, dense finish with no trace of the weld.

Machinability
DOM is easily machined, with only a nominal stock allowance for clean-up.

Wide Range of Sizes
DOM can be manufactured to an almost infinite range of OD and wall thickness dimensions by varying the size of the dies and mandrels used.
