They specialize in high-quality **EN 10305-2 and EN 10305-3 ERW Tubing**, which is perfect for a variety of industrial applications. These tubes are crafted using Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) and adhere to the strict dimensional and mechanical standards set by the EN 10305 guidelines, ensuring they boast high precision, uniformity, and a smooth surface finish. Aatir Steel offers these tubes in an array of shapes, sizes, and finishes, catering to industries like automotive, furniture manufacturing, general engineering, and mechanical systems. Their dedication to quality and exceptional customer service has made them a go-to supplier for precision tubing solutions throughout Egypt and beyond.
The EN 10305-2 and EN 10305-3 ERW Tubes are cold-formed welded steel tubes made from unalloyed, low-carbon steel grades. These tubes are known for their excellent dimensional tolerances, smooth surfaces, and reliable mechanical properties. EN 10305-2 specifically refers to welded cold-drawn tubes used in mechanical and automotive engineering, while EN 10305-3 pertains to precision welded tubes designed for general engineering applications. Common steel grades include E235 and E355, with mechanical properties such as yield strength ranging from 235 MPa to 355 MPa and tensile strength between 340–610 MPa, depending on the specific grade. These tubes are not only easy to form and weld but also compatible with various surface treatments, making them ideal for further processing like cutting, bending, and coating.
