Our mate­r­i­al for the most demand­ing requirements

At ETHEN ROHRE, we have been manufacturing capillary and precision tubes from high-performance alloys for many years. These high-performance alloys are made for extreme con­di­tions. Wher­ev­er stan­dard materials reach their lim­its, they ensure safe­ty, sta­bil­i­ty and func­tion­al­i­ty. No two appli­ca­tions are alike. That is why we do not sup­ply stan­dard solu­tions, but pre­cise­ly man­u­fac­tured tubes that can be adapt­ed exact­ly to the respec­tive application.

High-performance alloys are used wher­ev­er materials are under con­stant pres­sure. In med­ical engi­neer­ing, chem­i­cal indus­try, ener­gy pro­duc­tion or avi­a­tion, dimensional accu­ra­cy, cor­ro­sion resis­tance and heat sta­bil­i­ty are cru­cial every­where. That is exact­ly what our materials are made for. And that is exact­ly why we at ETHEN devel­op solu­tions you can rely on.

Why ETHEN relies on high-performance alloys

Many of our cus­tomers’ appli­ca­tions place extreme demands on mate­r­i­al prop­er­ties. Chem­i­cal process­es require per­ma­nent cor­ro­sion resis­tance, in ener­gy tech­nol­o­gy tubes must remain dimen­sion­al­ly sta­ble under high tem­per­a­tures and high pres­sure, and in med­ical engi­neer­ing micro­scop­ic precision and absolute mate­r­i­al puri­ty are essential.

Materials such as nick­el alloys, tita­ni­um and stainless steels offer pre­cise­ly these prop­er­ties. They are mechan­i­cal­ly resilient, heat-sta­ble and reli­able in their func­tion – even under long and inten­sive stress. At the same time, they enable the pro­duc­tion of extreme­ly thin-walled tubes with tight tolerances. This is a key fac­tor in the man­u­fac­ture of capillary tubes and one of our core competencies.

Precision pro­cess­ing tai­lored to the material

These materials require the high­est precision in pro­cess­ing. And that is pre­cise­ly our strength. ETHEN process­es a wide range of high-performance alloys, includ­ing nick­el and tita­ni­um alloys as well as special materials for spe­cif­ic applications.

The man­u­fac­ture of precision tubes from high-performance alloys requires special form­ing process­es, con­trolled heat treat­ments and state-of-the-art draw­ing and smooth­ing tech­nolo­gies. Many of these materials are sensitive to devi­a­tions in the process, whether in tem­per­a­ture con­trol, lubri­ca­tion or fin­ish­ing. At ETHEN, we have decades of expe­ri­ence in the mate­r­i­al-spe­cif­ic pro­cess­ing and man­u­fac­ture of tubes, which means they always meet the high­est quality and documentation require­ments.

Tai­lor-made solu­tions for demand­ing applications

ETHEN TUBES stands for tech­ni­cal precision, reli­able process­es and part­ner­ship-based coop­er­a­tion. Our cus­tomers know that high-performance appli­ca­tions require not only the right mate­r­i­al, but also a part­ner who knows how to work with it.

We do not sup­ply off-the-shelf tubes, but rather cus­tomised solu­tions, with special dimen­sions or spe­cial­ly tai­lored alloys on request. We always keep the big pic­ture in mind: func­tion­al­i­ty, cost-effec­tive­ness and durability.

High-performance alloys are the key to safe, resilient prod­ucts in com­plex tech­ni­cal envi­ron­ments. With our capillary and precision tubes made of high-performance alloys, we are mak­ing an important con­tri­bu­tion to the future of mod­ern technologies.
