A cold pilger mill is a cold‑rolling machine for seamless tubes, employing ring‑shaped grooves to plastically deform hollow shells at ambient temperature. Its key attributes include:
High material yield – significantly higher than cold drawing, reducing waste.
Superior dimensional accuracy and surface finish – better geometric precision and smoother surfaces than drawn tubes.
Large reduction per pass – up to 70‑90% (e.g., >90% for copper alloys, ~80% for stainless steels, ~75% for titanium alloys), minimizing intermediate steps.
Refined microstructure – the rolling process produces fine, dense grains, improving mechanical strength and physical properties.
Wide material compatibility – processes carbon/alloy steels, stainless steels, non‑ferrous metals, rare metals, and even low‑plasticity or high‑alloy materials.
Product series – LG type (two‑roll, high output) and LD type (multi‑roll, thin‑wall precision tubes)
Advanced high‑speed models – incorporate multiple servo motors, closed mill stands, side roll‑changing, and dual‑segment balance systems; realize continuous loading, feeding, and fully automated operation with electronic cam control,
Broad applications – machinery, petrochemical, automotive, instrumentation, metallurgy, and aerospace, producing precision, ultra‑long, thin‑walled, and high‑strength tubes.
