Metal finishing Q&As since 1989

Metal microtubes

Q. Does anyone produce metal microtubes in materials other than stainless steels? I am looking at tubes that at: 0.020" ID 0.032" OD 0.006" Wall Sizes close to these dimensions would be OK too.

Thanks,

What is the length? What are tolerances? What is the qty? Will Nickel be OK?

A. Tubes like that can be produced via the electroforming process using either copper, nickel or nickel/cobalt.
