Impact extrusion v drawn aluminium tube

/

Impact extrusion and drawn tube serve different purposes.
Impact extrusion is ideal for closed-end, high-volume components.
Drawn tube is the preferred choice for precision engineering, structural, and fluid applications, offering tight tolerances, excellent surface finish, and flexibility.
At Spartal, drawn tube is what we do. We supply standard and bespoke sizes, offer full material traceability, and provide technical support from specification through to delivery.
