General Engineering Tubing

The General Engineered Tube serves as the development resource for new and future products in conventional and unusual alloys. A.T. Wall's Special Tubing Products are often the only source of supply for many customers. This group has earned a reputation for providing both traditional and special tubular shapes finished as random or straight length cuts ... where specifications are unusually restrictive ... and often, in alloys that make manufacturing impossible for other vendors. A unique hydraulic press-forming manufacturing process allows the production of tubing products in a wide range of metals, including unusual alloys ... which are normally not available in tubular form.

The combination of these specialized capabilities in this area have made this group a one-source supplier for companies with a variety of diverse applications in the medical, aerospace, firearms and other industries where repeatable high quality is required.

For applications requiring dissimilar inside/outside shapes, let us show you how our shaped ID tubing can eliminate broaching or other machining operations.
