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 Chemical Composition
Chemical composition as per ASTM A519 and ASTM A29 standards. The table lists the main alloying and residual elements for Grade 1035 steel. Iron is the balance. Trace elements not specified are controlled by the standard's residual limits.

ASTM A519 Grade 1035 Carbon Steel Seamless Mechanical Tubing Mechanical Properties
Tensile and yield properties are based on ASTM A519 requirements for cold-drawn, stress-relieved condition. Actual values depend on tube size, wall thickness, and heat treatment. Hardness values are typical; the standard does not mandate a hardness range but often references Brinell 170-200 for this grade in normalized condition.
| Property | Standard Requirement | Unit | Test Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (Rm) | ≥ 586 | MPa | Room temperature, stress-relieved |
| Yield Strength (ReH) | ≥ 483 | MPa | Room temperature, 0.2% offset, stress-relieved |
| Elongation (A) | ≥ 10 | % | Gauge length 2 in. or 50 mm, stress-relieved |
| Hardness | 170 – 200 | HB | Typical after normalizing; stress-relieved may differ |
| Tensile Strength (Rm) | ≥ 85 | ksi | Room temperature, stress-relieved |
| Yield Strength (ReH) | ≥ 70 | ksi | Room temperature, 0.2% offset, stress-relieved |

ASTM A519 Grade 1035 Carbon Steel Seamless Mechanical Tubing Similar/Alternative Material Recommendations
| Country/Region | Standard | Grade | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA | ASTM A519 | 1040 | Higher strength, lower ductility |
| USA | ASTM A519 | 1030 | Lower strength, better weldability and ductility |
| Europe | EN 10083-2 | C40 (1.1186) | Higher carbon alternative |
| Japan | JIS G4051 | S38C | Slightly higher carbon, increased hardenability |
| USA | ASTM A519 | 1025 | Lower 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.
