Enable Tech MFG, LLC was established in 2014 to expand flowforming technology into the Oil and Gas, Aerospace, Power Generation, and Defense industries. We accomplish this objective by precision flowforming seamless, cold worked tubulars that maximize the physical and mechanical properties of nickel, cobalt, titanium, stainless, and steel alloys. Enable Tech's flowformed tubes have proven to be excellent solutions for extreme environments and critical applications.Flowforming is a chipless metal forming process for manufacturing seamless, cold-worked tubulars. During the flowforming process, a metal tubular is elongated over an inner mandrel to achieve exact dimensions 4–6x the original length. Three rollers apply a compressive force to the outside of the tubular, forcing the alloy beyond its yield point, a process known as plastic deformation. As the outside diameter reduces, the material flows, elongating the metal tubular until the specified wall thickness and length are achieved.
