United
Industries pioneered the welding of ferretic
stainless steel for the automotive industry in the
early 1980’s, and
is still the
leading producer for
critical tubing
in catalytic
converters and
tubular
exhaust
components.
United
Industries produces both ferritic (type 409, 439, etc.)
and
austenitic (type 304, 321,
etc.) grade stainless
steel tubing
for
the
automotive industry.
Production
of the wide variety of
stainless
alloys available is
performed
by laser
welding capabilities.
United
Industries’ years of
experience in
this
industry
have provided
our customers
with the
highest
quality
tubing required for
severe
fabrication such as: tubular
manifolds,
crossover
and
downpipes, spun
catalytic converters, muffler /
resonator components
and
tailpipes.
As
a
certified QS9000 supplier with
proven engineering
capabilities
and using extensive statistical
methods, United
offers development
assistance and manufacturing
expertise for the welding of Stainless
Steel tubing
for both ferritic
and austenitic ranges for very
critical
applications.
Manufacturing
All
tubing is produced in a true inline / work cell
environment that
minimizes
work in process common in
batch type
manufacturing. Raw
material is
purchased in wide
coils and slit to
specific tube widths
at our
facility. The tube
production begins
with roll forming, then
welding,
weld bead
conditioning, inline
annealing
(when specified),
final
sizing, OD stencil (if
required),
cut to length,
deburring,
polishing (when
specified) and
packaging for
shipment.
Polishing
Inline
polishing is available ranging from 180 grit satin type to
the high luster super buff finish. All tubing is
paper protected to
ensure the
ultimate surface
condition during
shipment and customer
handling.
Polished tubing has
become more and
more popular for
visible exhaust
components
such as tailpipes and
muffler outlet
stubs.
Quality
Testing
All
tubing is continuously tested to ASTM and customer
fabrication
requirements by
the operator of each
work cell.
Tubing is 100% eddy
current
tested and destructive
tests are
performed at regular
intervals. Incoming
raw
material is inspected and must
conform to
our
rigid standards
set for
all our suppliers and final dock
audits
are made to ensure
quality.
Product
Delivery
Because
of United Industries’ JIT manufacturing capabilities,
shipment to - or pickup by - our customers
requirements are made
daily,
weekly or however
specified. This
greatly reduces our
customer’s
inventory,
increases inventory turns
and reduces costs. A
wide
variety of transportation alternatives are
available.
Our Commitment
Solid and Stable
United Industries history, reputation, future and
mission is
to manufacture all of our welded stainless
steel
tubing to the
standard of
excellence.
