Apparatus, manufacture, composition and method for producing long length tubing and uses thereof

Abstract

An apparatus, method and composition for long length tubing includes continuous production of long length seamless aluminum tubing suitable for use as coiled tubing in hydrocarbon wells. A 2XXX aluminum alloy may be used in combination with a continuous casting/extrusion apparatus using aluminum from a melt. Other metals may be used, as well as continuously cast rod from a casting wheel and belt or conform extruder, which is processed to form a hollow and then sized by drawing.
