One of their standout offerings is the Carbon Steel ASME SA 519 Grade MT X 1020 Tubing, a seamless mechanical tubing solution that’s prized for its strength, ductility, and machinability. Crafted with precision for demanding industrial applications, this tubing is perfect for mechanical systems, automotive parts, and hydraulic cylinders. Thabiso Steel is dedicated to providing top-notch products, backed by technical know-how, dependable service, and a commitment to customer satisfaction across Southern Africa and beyond.
The Carbon Steel ASME SA 519 Grade MT X 1020 Tubing is a low-carbon, seamless mechanical tubing that adheres to the ASME SA 519 specification. It generally contains about 0.18–0.23% carbon and 0.30–0.60% manganese, along with trace amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. This specific composition ensures excellent machinability, moderate tensile strength (usually around 415–550 MPa), and good ductility. The tubing is well-suited for cold drawing, heat treatment, and precision machining. Its fine-grained microstructure makes it ideal for applications that demand dimensional accuracy and a smooth finish. The low carbon content also guarantees good weldability, making it a versatile choice for mechanical fabrication.
