dom is not formed. DOM tubing is CREW or cold rolled electric welded. it is then Drawn Over a Mandrel, hence the DOM to give the ID and OD a tighter tolerance.

while this may technically be correct, you cant see the seam on any of the DOM tubing ive bought.... inside OR outside, so what your saying will only confuse people....DOM tubing is also NOT seamless tubing. it has a seam it's just been pressed down.

My understanding is that the DOM we use is 1020 mild steel cold drawn over the mandrel. But since DOM is a process, I'm sure Hot and Cold ERW, along with seamless can all be DOM.
