What is ASTM A511 Tubing?

ASTM A511 is a standard specification covering seamless carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing. It is widely used for high-strength mechanical parts, structural components, shafts, and industrial machinery. These tubes provide excellent tensile strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making them a preferred choice for high-performance applications.

ASTM A511 tubing is available in various grades, allowing engineers and designers to select the perfect material for specific mechanical and environmental conditions.

Grades of ASTM A511 Tubing 

Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubes

  • MT 302, MT 303, MT 303Se – Standard corrosion-resistant austenitic grades for chemical and high-temperature applications.

  • MT 304, MT 304L – Widely used for general-purpose corrosion resistance and excellent weldability.

  • MT 305, MT 309S, MT 310S – Heat and corrosion-resistant tubes for high-temperature applications.

  • MT 316, MT 316L – Molybdenum-alloyed grades for enhanced corrosion resistance in chemical and marine environments.

  • MT 317, MT 321, MT 347 – Stabilized austenitic stainless steel for high-temperature service and resistance to intergranular corrosion.

Ferritic and Duplex Stainless Steel Tubes

  • MT 403, MT 405, MT 410, MT 414, MT 416Se – Ferritic and duplex grades with high strength and moderate corrosion resistance.
