The world’s only manufacturer and supplier
of commercially available titanium corrugated tubes.

You may not have heard of titanium flexible corrugated tubes.

Titanium is one of the most difficult metals to process, and unlike carbon steel or stainless steel, it has traditionally been challenging to form into shapes beyond straight pipe configurations.

With 36 years of experience and a deep understanding of titanium,
ATX has established the capability to produce titanium flexible corrugated tubes in a consistent and repeatable form.

A new approach that extends beyond the conventional concept of titanium piping.

Industry Challenges

Long straight pipes are dangerously loaded onto a truck.

01. Transport & Handling Constraints

Long, straight titanium pipes require dedicated transport and careful handling.

This increases logistics costs and limits flexibility, especially for smaller-scale or distributed installations.

Imported materials further add lead time and transportation complexity.

02. Installation-Dependent Work

Conventional piping requires cutting, bending, welding, and assembly on site.

These processes increase installation time and cost, and depend heavily on field conditions and operator skill.

As a result, installation becomes a major part of the overall project burden.

03. Corrosion as a Lifecycle Risk

Stainless steel can corrode when exposed to seawater or chloride-rich conditions.

Over time, this leads to material degradation, frequent maintenance, and reduced service life.

In corrosive environments, this becomes a critical limitation for long-term operation.

ATX Solution: Titanium Corrugated Tube

ATX developed titanium corrugated tubes to overcome the limitations of conventional titanium pipes.

As the first development of its kind in Korea, ATX is currently the only company in the world supplying titanium corrugated tubes.

01. Installation & Handling Flexibility

Hand bending without equipment


The corrugated structure allows the tube to be bent and shaped directly on site without the use of bending machines.

Cutting with simple hand tools easily


While conventional pipes require cutters or grinders, the thin-walled corrugated tube can be cut using small hand tools alone.

02. Logistics & Storage Efficiency

Supplied in coil form
The tube is supplied in coil form, enabling compact packaging, easier transport, and simplified handling compared to straight piping.

Reduced storage and transport burden
Coiled supply reduces space requirements and allows standard shipping methods, minimizing logistics cost and handling constraints.

03. Thermal Performance & Efficiency

Thin wall thickness (0.3t)
While conventional pipes have a minimum wall thickness of 0.5t, titanium corrugated tubes feature a wall thickness of 0.3t, making them approximately 40% thinner. This reduced thickness results in higher heat exchange performance.

Expanded heat transfer area through corrugated structure
The corrugated structure provides a larger heat transfer area compared to a straight pipe of the same length.
As a result, the required tube length can be reduced by approximately 30% to achieve the same heat transfer capacity.

04. Enhanced heat transfer through turbulence

As fluid flows through the tube,
 it repeatedly interacts with the corrugated surface, generating turbulence.

In straight pipes, fluid layers remain separated after heat exchange,
 leading to reduced efficiency.


In contrast, turbulence generated within the corrugated tube
 significantly improves heat transfer efficiency.

Finished Product - Corrugated Tube Heat Exchanger (Ready-to-Install)

Supplied as a fully assembled heat exchanger using titanium corrugated tubes, ready for direct installation.

Ready-to-install configuration
The system is delivered as a finished structure designed for immediate integration.
Socket-based connections allow installation without welding or complex on-site fabrication.
Simplified installation and reduced field work
Unlike conventional systems requiring cutting, welding, and assembly, the pre-engineered configuration minimizes installation steps and reduces on-site workload.
Shorter lead time and cost efficiency
The simplified structure reduces fabrication time and system complexity, enabling shorter delivery lead times and cost savings—often up to approximately 30%.
