Beyond steel, we also accommodate many other metals, including aluminum, brass, carbon steel, copper, nickel, and stainless steel. Additionally, we offer finishing and assembly services to ensure our customers’ tubing needs are fully met. We offer numerous fabrication services, including bending, end forming, laser cutting, and more. Comprehensive fabrication capabilities.We have over four decades of experience distributing metal tubes, and nearly three decades of experience providing tube fabrication services. By choosing us as their source for steel tubing, our customers benefit from our: We employ laser cutting operations to cut tubing to size and the walls of tubing to accommodate requests for special features or shapes, such as slots, through holes and notches.įor more details on our laser cutting capabilities, visit our tube laser cutting page.įor more details on our assembly capabilities, visit our tubular assembly page.Īt G & J Steel & Tubing, we are proud to serve customers from a diverse set of industries, including the following:įor some examples of our tube fabrication work, browse through our case studies section.Īt G & J, we are the ideal partner for all steel tubing needs. Additionally, it achieves higher cutting precision and accuracy and better quality edges. Due to its non-contact nature, it offers a lower risk of mechanical distortion than traditional cutting methods. Laser cutting is a fabrication process that employs the use of a high-powered laser to cut material, such as tubing, to the desired lengths. Hydroforming: A forming method used to create irregular or non-concentric shapes at the end or away from the end.įor more details on our end forming capabilities, visit our tube end forming page.Spinning: A forming method that shapes the material by spinning either the tool or workpiece at high speeds.Ram: A cold forming method that uses specialized tools to press-i.e., ram-the end to form the desired shape.When forming these tube end shapes, we employ the following methods: The shape of the tube end depends on the specifications of the application, but some of the most common include bead, expand, flange, flare, flat, groove, nose, notch, swage, and tap. Tube end forming refers to the process of shaping the end of tubes to allow for assembly with other components. Coiling: A bending method that creates tight and compact tubing configurations that are generally used in heat exchange applications.įor more details on our bending capabilities, visit our tube bending page.It is suitable for use in automated machining operations that involves more complex part designs. Rotary draw bending: A bending method that uses a movable bending die.While it offers faster processing speeds and low per-unit tooling costs, it is not suitable for designs that are complex or require mandrels. Compression bending: A bending method that employs the use of a stationary bending die.The most common bend angles are elbow bends of varying degrees or U-bends, we also accommodate custom tube configurations for any application. Tube bending is a metal forming process that bends straight tube lengths into precise shapes and configurations without compromising the internal profile or structural integrity of the tube. Our Steel Tubing Fabrication Capabilitiesįounded in 1976 as a tube and metal distributor, our acquisition of Masterson Metal Products and Die Form Tube in the early 1990s allowed us to expand our service offerings to encompass tube fabrication, including the following. We also provide tube cutoff, coiling, assembly, stamping, machining, and finishing services. Our core offerings include bending, end forming, laser cutting, and welding. When sourcing steel tubing for a project, a supplier may offer various fabrication options to ensure the material is ready for use.Īt G & J Steel & Tubing, Inc., we offer full-service metal tube fabrication solutions. It is characterized by high strength and durability, both of which make it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications. Material can be formed in a variety of shapes including round, rectangular, or custom cross-sections. Tubular parts can also be made from non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, and aluminum. Some typical steels include 1008-1020 carbon steel, stainless steel 300 and 400 series, steel alloys. There are specific types of steel, each has its own properties best suited for the individual application. Steel tubing is a generic description of metal tubing.
