ASTM A513 Grade 1010
ASTM A513 Grade 1010 is a low-carbon mechanical steel tubing used for applications that require excellent formability, consistent weldability, and reliable dimensional precision. Produced using the Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) process, ASTM A513 Gr 1010 offers superior surface quality and uniform mechanical properties, making it suitable for automotive components, industrial machinery, furniture, farm equipment, and general engineering applications. Its balanced carbon and manganese content delivers enhanced strength compared to Grade 1008 while maintaining good ductility for fabrication.
Key Features
- Enhanced Strength & Ductility: Higher carbon content than 1008 for improved mechanical strength.
- Excellent Formability: Ideal for bending, flaring, swaging, and fabrication.
- Superior Weldability: Low carbon makes it compatible with all standard welding techniques.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Strict ASTM tolerances ensure stable performance in precision applications.
- Smooth Surface Finish: Suitable for painting, powder-coating, plating, and polishing.
- Versatile Application Range: Widely used in automotive, structural, and industrial products.
