STAINLESS WELDED TUBE. MADE IN OUR OWN MILL.

Balçık Tube roll-forms, TIG-welds and bright-anneals stainless steel tube in Kahramankazan, Ankara – first for our own heating elements, today also for customers in domestic and industrial applications. Straight lengths or finished tube parts, made and tested in one plant.

Balçık Tube

The tube under every BALÇIK TORMEC heating element – made in our own mill.

Balçık Tube roll-forms, TIG-welds, sizes and bright-anneals stainless steel tube in Kahramankazan, Ankara. It was set up to supply our own heating-element lines; today it supplies third-party customers as well.

Because the same plant uses the tube every day, the parameters behind it are proven in series production: weld seam, roundness, surface and the ductility needed for tight bends.

  • Range: outside diameter 6.0 – 13.0 mm, wall 0.25 – 1.0 mm, cut lengths 20 – 8,000 mm.
  • Grades: AISI 304, 316L and 321; high-nickel alloys on request.
  • Finish: annealed in line under hydrogen – bright, scale-free, ready to bend.

The range in four numbers

Small diameters, thin walls, long lengths.

13 mmmaximum outside diameter – from 6.0 mm
0.25 mmminimum wall thickness – up to 1.0 mm
8,000 mmmaximum cut length – from 20 mm
1100 °Cin-line bright annealing under hydrogen, from 1040 °C

From strip to tube

Six steps on one line. One plant responsible for all of them.

Cold-rolled stainless strip enters the mill; a welded, annealed and tested tube leaves it – cut to your length and marked for traceability.

  1. Strip

    Cold-rolled stainless strip to EN 10088-2, slit to width for the diameter.

  2. Roll forming

    Forming stands close the strip into an open tube, step by step.

  3. TIG welding

    Longitudinal seam welded under inert gas, weld factor v = 1.0.

  4. Sizing

    Sizing rolls set the outside diameter and roundness.

  5. Bright annealing

    In line at 1040 – 1100 °C under hydrogen, then rapid cooling.

  6. Cut, test, mark

    Cut to length, deburred, tested and marked with production data.

Part of BALÇIK TORMEC · since 1959

One plant, three specialisations.

Balçık Tube is a division of Balçık Isı Elemanları – heating elements and stem thermostats since 1959, around 400 people on a 30,000 m² site in Kahramankazan, Ankara.

Quality management, certificates, purchasing and logistics are shared across the plant. Brazing, bright annealing and nickel diffusion coating of tube parts are done next door by Balçık Brazing.

Diameter, wall, grade, length – that is enough to start.
