Specialist in stainless steel tubes
Tecnofar SpA manufactures and sells
high-performance longitudinally welded
stainless steel and nickel alloys tubes,
including austenitic stainless steels,
duplex stainless steels, ferritic stainless
steels, and alloys with a high nickel
content. The company has recently
increased its production unit, with
a modern 5,000m2 plant opened in
January.
Working with important European
stainless steel mills, at the base of the
supply chain, Tecnofar offers a semi-
finished quality product – a fundamental
requirement for cost-efficient and
environmentally friendly component
parts. In the automotive industry,
Tecnofar’s tubes are used in components
mounted on millions of passenger cars
and commercial vehicles around the
world. Applications include pipelines
(fuel/oil/air), glow plugs, EGR tubes and
exhaust systems.
The company states that its ad-
vanced engineering department and a
continuous search for improvements
and technological developments make
it a leading manufacturer of quality
stainless steel tubes. Combined with
constant attention to customer needs,
Tecnofar contributes to increasing the
performance of customers’ products.
The company’s 11 TIG welding lines are
equipped with efficient control systems
and induction annealing furnaces that
work in a protected atmosphere, giving
Tecnofar tubes high corrosion resistance
and the right mechanical characteristics
to perform processes such as bending,
hydroforming, expanding, drilling and
flanging.
Tecnofar tubes are regularly subjected
to strict control tests, in accordance
with specific ASTM, DIN, EN and PED
standards. The production range for
welded tubes ranges from 3 to 76mm
and thickness from 0.15 to 3mm, with
the possibility of heat treatment and
surface finishing by satinising (grain 60
to 800 micron). To meet the production
requirements of all customers, Tecnofar
tubes can be supplied in long bars, coils
or fixed-length cut pieces, de-burred
and cleaned.
Directly connected to the production
of stainless steel welded tube,
Tecnofar produces welded cold-drawn
precision tubes with an external
diameter ranging from 0.3 to 20mm
and thickness from 0.1 to 2mm,
available in bar, rolls and cut to size,
used in applications that require high
precision and quality.
