ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1006 steel also has a number of physical properties that make it a desirable choice for many applications. The steel has a high tensile strength, which helps it to resist deformation from external forces. It also has a relatively high yield strength, meaning that it can withstand more force before it begins to permanently deform. The steel is known for its excellent formability, with its ability to be bent, formed, and forged into a variety of shapes without cracking or deforming. It has a good weldability, allowing it to be easily joined with other materials, while its machinability helps it to be easily cut and shaped to the desired specifications.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1025 mechanical tubing is available for a variety of applications. Typical uses for mechanical tubing include general service tubing, automotive and truck components, railroad cars, agricultural equipment, machinery parts and podiums. All of these components require strength and toughness from the tubing, as well as good fatigue and/or corrosion strength. Moreover, ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1025 mechanical tubing can be furnished in various shapes. Manufacturers produce it in round, square, rectangular and special shape tubing. ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1025 mechanical tubing is joined by welding, and this welding method used depends upon the end use application and the grade of tubing being used.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1008 mechanical tubing is primarily produced in an electric resistance weld (ERW) process. ERW is a process that forms flat strip into a round pipe by rolling steel strip through a series of shaped rolls to form a tube and then welding the seam closed by applying heat. Heat for the welding is provided by an appropriately sized high frequency electric current which induces a high degree of weldability. ASTM A513/A513M Grade 1008 is suited for welding operation used in applications requiring general mechanical properties such as strength and toughness as well as better corrosion resistance than black steel tubing.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade MT1020 steel is a grade of steel that is widely used for its thermal protection and superior strength. It is known for its ability to resist extreme temperatures and fluctuations that would normally cause more brittle metals to become damaged. Additionally, this grade of steel is commonly used in the automotive industry due to its thermal protection in extreme temperatures, as well as its strength and resistance to warping or bending.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade MT1015 is an alloy steel used across various industries and applications. It is primarily composed of iron and carbon with trace amounts of other elements such as manganese and phosphorus. The steel is also characterized by its high tensile and yield strength, excellent ductility and formability, as well as good weldability and machinability. Due to these attributes, ASTM A513/A513M Grade MT1015 steel has been widely used in the manufacturing of various products, ranging from automotive parts, pipes, and other industrial components to machined products and certain engineering parts.

The two main types of steel tubing commonly used in construction are seamless and electric-resistance-welded (ERW). Seamless steel tube is produced by continuously extruding hot steel over a mandrel. ERW steel tube is produced by rolling a sheet of high-temperature steel between two copper-clad plates and then welding it along the sides.

ASTM A513/A513M is a standard specification for Electric-Resistance-Welded Carbon and Alloy Steel Mechanical Tubing issued by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This standard covers electric resistance welded carbon and alloy steel tubing for use as mechanical tubing. This tubing is used for applications requiring mechanical properties, as well as general-purpose applications. The steel conveyed by this ASTM A513/A513M Grade MTX1020 is generally referred to as carbon steel, though alloy steel is sometimes included by certain definitions. The majority of ASTM A513/A513M Grade MTX1020 mechanical tubing is produced using mild hot-roll steel alloys.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade MTX1015 mechanical tubing is primarily produced in an electric resistance weld (ERW) process. ERW is a process that forms flat strip into a round pipe by rolling steel strip through a series of shaped rolls to form a tube and then welding the seam closed by applying heat. Heat for the welding is provided by an appropriately sized high frequency electric current which induces a high degree of weldability. ASTM A513/A513M Grade MTX1015 is suited for welding operation used in applications requiring general mechanical properties such as strength and toughness as well as better corrosion resistance than black steel tubing.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade 8630 mechanical tubing is primarily produced in an electric resistance weld (ERW) process. ERW is a process that forms flat strip into a round pipe by rolling steel strip through a series of shaped rolls to form a tube and then welding the seam closed by applying heat. Heat for the welding is provided by an appropriately sized high frequency electric current which induces a high degree of weldability. ASTM A513/A513M Grade 8630 is suited for welding operation used in applications requiring general mechanical properties such as strength and toughness as well as better corrosion resistance than black steel tubing.

ASTM A513/A513M Grade 8620 steel is a grade of steel that is widely used in the global manufacturing industry due to its many beneficial properties. It is commonly used for structural applications such as automotive frames, support beams and enclosures. ASTM A513/A513M Grade 8620 steel is also known for its superior thermal properties that help it to resist heat in extreme temperatures and fluctuations. Given its superior thermal properties, ASTM A513/A513M Grade 8620 steel is an ideal material for applications that require temperature resistance. One of the primary applications of this grade of steel is the automotive industry where it is used to construct the frames and support beams of cars. Additionally, due to its superior strength and resistance to warping or bending, it is commonly used in the construction of enclosures and bridges.
