ASTM A519 Grade 1010 (UNS G10100) Carbon Steel Tubes
ASTM A519 1010 (UNS G10100) is a low-carbon mild steel grade designed for seamless mechanical tubing applications that require a combination of good strength, high ductility, excellent weldability, and clean surface finish. Manufactured using hot-finished or cold-drawn processes, A519 1010 tubes deliver exceptional dimensional accuracy and consistent mechanical performance suitable for precision components across industrial sectors.
This makes it ideal for bending, flaring, swaging, drawing, machining, and other fabrication processes. Its low carbon chemistry ensures exceptional weldability without compromising toughness, making the material suitable for structural assemblies and engineering components.
ASTM A519 1010 (UNS G10100) seamless tubes are extensively used in automotive manufacturing, hydraulic systems, crankshafts, bushings, conveyor rollers, axles, machinery parts, and fabricated structures. With excellent cold-working properties, uniform hardness distribution, and stable performance under continuous stress, Grade 1010 is a trusted material for critical mechanical applications requiring durability and precision.
