Low-Carbon Steel Rectangular Tubes

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. These tubes are often fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as frames, supports, and raceways. To increase their wear resistance, you can surface harden them with heat treating. These tubes are manufactured to ASTM or EN standards for quality and performance.

Low-Carbon Steel Round Tubes

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as frames, supports, and conduit. This steel is manufactured to ASTM, SAE, or EN standards for quality and performance.
Seamless tubes are stronger than welded tubes.
