By taking advantage of our boundless dedication to customer needs, an electronics manufacturer discovered the significant capability Appleton Stainless offers over the competition. We were contracted to manufacture tube manifolds, high-precision devices needed for the making of computer chips. Application of our core competencies allowed us to deliver this product quickly and with a level of quality that previous manufacturers couldn't match.

Throughout the manufacturing phase we worked closely with the customer, determining how their proprietary requirements could be best applied. The tube manifolds to be manufactured measured 2" outer diameter. by 48" long, and specified 304 stainless steel with inner and outer finishes of 32 Roughness Average (Ra). We opted to fabricate via a series of high-precision processes, including cutting, coping, TIG welding, and polishing. Pickling and passivation were also applied to ensure a smooth, clean, and corrosion-free surface.

All tube manifold units were manufactured and delivered on a speedy four-day schedule, with each exceeding the quality standards set by the customer. Thanks to our extensive portfolio of challenging and unconventional projects, we were able to resolutely succeed where other steel fabricators had failed.
