Cold pilgering is a rolling process for many different materials, such as stainless steel, low-alloy steels, zircaloy, copper, and titanium alloys. The tubes produced stand out from the portfolio of tubes and pipes as they are formed by a special cold forming process. This reduces the diameter and wall thickness and, at the same time, achieves the closest outer diameter and wall-thickness tolerances. Cold pilgered tubes are used in the medical application, chemical, aviation, food, and automotive industries, as well as for OCTG, pure gas applications, and in refrigerators and heat exchangers (Inconel® and Incoloy®).
