No wonder!!!
Assume thermal diffusivity alf of steel is around 5X10^-5 m^2/s.
The tube length L is around 5 mm, so it take heat L^2/alf = 0.5s to reach the entire region. After that time scale, the temperature distribution will disappear since there is no boundary cooling to dissipate the heat, hence no heat flux through the boundary, therefore no temperature gradient across the structure.
Typical nature convection coefficient will be around 5 W/m^2-K.
The Biot number is the ratio between internal thermal conduction resistance and external thermal convection resistance. If Biot number <<1, lumped model is reasonable and there is no temperature gradient inside the solid, like your case where convection thermal resistance is infinity.
Fourier number tell you how far the heat conduct for a give time, mainly L^2 = alf*time.
You may try to look at the temperature profile at t = 0.1s !!!
