Vallourec offers solutions for all your automotive and transport tubular needs, from bearing tubes to axles to precision tubing and beyond. With our ranges of standard and premium steel grades, our products help optimize your designs while meeting or exceeding industry standards.
Our catalog of high performance grades combined with the advanced features of our seamless tubes enable to obtain the highest level of mechanical performance on the market, thus increasing the durability and mechanical loads without changing your design.
Payload
Load capacity can be optimized by using seamless tubular products instead of solid parts. Hot-formed seamless square and rectangular hollow sections provide superior static strength thanks to their tight corner radii. Excellent strength to weight ratio means lower weight for equal performance.
Durability
Thanks to their manufacturing process, seamless tubes provide homogeneous properties leaving no place for weak points, resulting in longer lifetime compared to other solutions.
