We have just completed a re rolling requirement for a customer that has been commissioned to produce scale models of various race cars and other Motorsport related vehicles.
The end use was for a static display vehicle and material strength did not have to be a major factor, but to re profile to a finished Streamline / Aerofoil, a cold drawn seamless had to be used.
The decision was made to use our ROPT510 round tube and re roll into the streamline tube shape as set by our customers’ drawings.
The benefits of using the ROPT510 in this application were to minimise costs, but maintain a quality finish of the streamline due to the high forming properties the ROPT510 possesses.
