Precious metal tubes and rods

Semi-finished precious metal tubes and rods ensure a high-quality end product, from medical equipment and electrodes to chemical processes, electrical engineering and aerospace applications. 

What are precious metal tubes and rods? 

Tubes and rods are semi-finished products that can be used both as an end product or further processed into an end product. The production process consists of a number of basic steps:

• The precious metals are melted and mixed in a vacuum furnace. This is done in an inert atmosphere, which means there is no risk of contamination from oxygen and carbon dioxide. 
• The alloy is then manufactured into an intermediate shape under high pressure and temperature processes.
• Finally, the rods and tubes are processed into their final shape using a carbide mold and rolling mills. 

Rod and tube can be produced in the precious metals platinum (platinum), gold, silver, palladium and various alloys herein such as platinum/iridium. 

Using precious metal tubes and rods 

Precious metal tubes and rods both serve as excellent base materials for functional and decorative end products.
