Product Description

Advantages of Q355B Honed Tube

  1. High Strength and Toughness

    Q355B is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel with superior mechanical properties.

    Ensures excellent load-bearing capacity for heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders.

  2. Precision Surface Finish

    Honing process produces a smooth bore surface with low roughness (Ra 0.2–0.8 μm).

    Improves sealing, reduces leakage, and increases system efficiency.

  3. Accurate Dimensional Tolerance

    Tight ID and OD tolerance with roundness and straightness well-controlled.

    Guarantees perfect fit with piston seals and hydraulic components.

  4. Good Weldability and Machinability

    Q355B material is easy to weld and machine, reducing manufacturing costs.

    Ideal for fabricating custom hydraulic cylinder barrels.

  5. Extended Service Life

    Reduced friction and wear protect seals and extend cylinder lifespan.

    High fatigue resistance makes it suitable for long-term use in harsh conditions.


Production Process of Q355B Honed Tube

To achieve the superior quality required in hydraulic applications, each Q355B honed tube undergoes a strict production process:

  1. Raw Material Selection

    Q355B seamless steel tubes are sourced with certified quality assurance.

    Material is tested for chemical composition and mechanical properties.

  2. Cold Drawing

    Tubes are cold drawn to refine the microstructure, increase strength, and achieve accurate dimensions.

  3. Heat Treatment

    Stress-relieving or normalization improves toughness and dimensional stability.

  4. Boring and Rough Machining

    The inner bore is processed to remove defects and prepare for honing.

  5. Honing Process

    Multi-step honing ensures precision surface roughness (Ra 0.2–0.8 μm).

    Bore roundness and straightness are precisely controlled.

  6. Final Inspection

    Each tube is tested for size tolerance, roughness, hardness, and mechanical performance.
