Different types of steel are used in different parts in the manufacture of cars. For example in a car, the steel that is used in the manufacture of grille guards is meant to maintain its shape and size even under impact. Steel tubes are found in various shapes and sizes. There are tubes available in round, rectangle, square, and hexagonal shapes. Sizes differ in tube wall thickness, inside and outside diameter. Square tube sizes range in size 2x2 inches in diameter 5x5 inches in diameter, and more. Wall thickness can be 3/16th of an inch and more, or less. They are created through a sequence of various processes like rolling, bending and hydroforming. At the start of the production of steel tubes, the steel is just a sheet of metal. This sheet is rolled and welded to create the required shape of steel tubes and stainless steel pipe.

It is possible to create the tiniest of seams with the help of laser welds to give the finished tube a smooth surface. The steel is often hardened in its manufacture to give the tubes increased strength. Fabricators and engineers like working with steel tubes, as they are easy to work with. With the help of the right techniques, it is possible to bend and shape the tubes to get the desired shape for use in a structure. In addition to this, as steel tubes are hollow, they are very much lighter than solid steel tubes, without any compensation in strength. Steel tubes are also the preferred choice of many as there is no chance of any scratching of the skin or of it catching on clothing. It is this quality of steel pipes and tubes that make it widely used in the manufacture of nerf bars where it protects your feet, shin and ankles from scratches when you step in and out of a truck.

An additional feature of steel pipes and tubes is that it can be applied to truck accessories in a very different manner than any other type of steel. This means that using steel pipes as grille guards provides excellent frontal protection without blocking radiator airflow. If a solid piece of steel were used in the same situation, it would not let any light or air to pass through it. stainless Steel pipe or tubes also make excellent bed rails or headache racks as ropes and chains are easily secured to them without you having to worry about any fraying. Of course, square beams of steel are also strong options as headache racks or rails. However the sharp angles of the edges may lead to a fraying of the rope over time or may catch onto a chain’s link to make it difficult to pull across the beam.
