General Purpose Aluminum Tubing
- Temperature Range: -450° to 400° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Flared
This tubing is lightweight with good corrosion resistance and weldability. It has magnesium and silicon added for strength. Tubing is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting.
Rigid Aluminum Tubing
Unlike other aluminum tubing, this tubing is rigid and will not bend. It contains manganese for good corrosion resistance, strength, and weldability. Tubing connects by welding.

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.
Heat treatable tubes can be surface hardened.

Easy-to-Weld 4130 Alloy Steel Round Tubes
- Yield Strength: See table
- Hardness: See table
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: See table
- Fabrication: Seamless
- Specifications Met: See table
Also known as chrome-moly steel, these 4130 alloy steel round tubes have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used for roll cages and frames. To increase their wear resistance, you can harden them with heat treating. These tubes have been manufactured to SAE and military standards for quality and performance.

Polished Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is widely used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations. The sheets, strips, bars, and adhesive-back foil are covered with a protective peel-off film. 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
Mirror-like #7 finish is reflective with some visible grain lines. Rectangular and round tubes are polished on the outside.
