ASTM A519 Grade 1035 Carbon Steel Seamless Mechanical Tubing Introduction

ASTM A519 Grade 1035 is a medium-carbon steel seamless mechanical tubing specified under ASTM A519 standard. It offers a good balance of strength, toughness, and machinability, making it suitable for automotive, structural, and general engineering components. The material is typically supplied in cold-drawn and stress-relieved condition, providing a fine surface finish and precise dimensional tolerances. Its carbon content (0.32–0.38%) enables heat treatment such as quenching and tempering to enhance mechanical properties.

  • Good weldability with appropriate procedures
  • Commonly used for shafts, axles, bushings, and hydraulic cylinders
  • Available in a range of sizes and wall thicknesses

ASTM A519 Grade 1035 Carbon Steel Seamless Mechanical Tubing Similar/Alternative Material Recommendations

Country/RegionStandardGradeRemarks
USAASTM A5191040Higher strength, lower ductility
USAASTM A5191030Lower strength, better weldability and ductility
EuropeEN 10083-2C40 (1.1186)Higher carbon alternative
JapanJIS G4051S38CSlightly higher carbon, increased hardenability
USAASTM A5191025Lower carbon, often used where bending and forming are more critical

Notes:

  • A519-1035 can be heat treated (quenched and tempered) to achieve higher hardness and strength for wear-resistant parts.
  • Weldability is fair; preheating and post-weld stress relief may be recommended for thicker sections.
  • This grade is not intended for pressure applications; use ASTM A106 or A53 for pressure piping.
  • Surface finish and dimensional tolerances for cold-drawn tubes are tightly controlled per ASTM A519.
