Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for straightening of a tube comprising a ferritic FeCrAl-alloy. One reason for the challenges regarding the cold working of a hollow of a ferritic FeCrAl-alloy into a finished tube is that FeCrAl-alloys have a low ductility. Even if a tube of a FeCrAl-alloy is obtained by cold working a hollow into a tube, the tube can hardly be straightened. This is even more a problem if a tube obtained is annealed, wherein the annealing leads to a deformation of tube along the longitudinal direction of the tube. Therefore, there is a need for a method for straightening of a tube comprising a ferritic FeCrAl-alloy. Thus, according to the present disclosure a method for straightening of a tube is suggested, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a tube comprising a ferritic FeCrAl-alloy, heating the tube, and straightening and forming the heated tube by stretching.

The inner and outer layers are mechanically interlocked by means of at least one helically extending thread formed in an interface between said layers. The connection tube is manufactured from a base component and an outer component threaded onto the base component to form a work piece, which is hot worked to form a metallic bond.
