Hot Rolled Steel C1026

Grade Summary: Hot Rolled Steel C1026 is manufactured by cold forming flat rolled steel into tubular shapes and then welding it together. The material is maintained during process to prevent loss of structure or loss of physical properties across the weld area. The finished tube has a uniform wall thickness and equal strength throughout its length. The tubing is easy to machine and fabricate and it can be, bent or drawn, flattened or flared and drilled or punched. It is easily welded using all the commonly used practices. Structural Tube has a surface suitable for painting or plating.

Typical Applications:

• Structural support and parts
• Frames
• Racks
• Trailer beds and trailer components
• Structural components.

Available products: 

• Round Tube

Typical Chemical Analysis: * C – .18/.23 *Mn – .30/.60 *P – .040 Max. *S – .050 Max.

Typical Mechanical Properties**:

* Chemical Analysis will vary on each heat number
** All values are minimum values and are representative.

Hot Rolled Square and Rectangular Tube Details:

Hot Rolled Square and Rectangular Tube is measured by taking the following:

• The size of the outside of the  tube (inches)
• The wall thickness (inches)

To determine the approximate inside dimension – deduct the wall thickness from the outside dimension twice.
