Difficulties:-
Oxidation of the internal surface of the hole.
Production of the tube in one press action.
The mandrel motion is separate from the motion of the extrusion ram. In the
double action processes, the mandrel is withdrawn, then the ram is pressed
to force the metal through the die.
The clearance between the mandrel and the die wall determines the tube
wall thickness.
A concentric whole and axial movement of the mandrel produces concentric
tubes and equal deformation resistance over the cross section.
•In plug rolling mill, the tube is driven over a long mandrel
containing a plug

Seamless pipe and tubing
• Reeling mill irons the outside and the inside surface and
remove the slight oval shape and is usually one of the last
steps in the production of pipe or tubing.
