ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for forming metal tubing and, more particularly, brake tubing. The system includes a mill for rolling a metal strip into a tube so that at least a portion of the strip overlaps itself. The strip is then brazed so that the overlapping portions of the strip fuse together and form the tube. Thereafter, the tube passes through a cooling tunnel which cools the tube to a temperature such that the tube can be coated with a corrosion resistant material, such as a zinc based material. An inert gas, such as argon, and/or a reducing gas, such as hydrogen, is introduced into the cooling tunnel to prevent or remove oxidation of the tubing as it passes through the cooling tunnel.
