Carbon Steel ASTM A513 Pipes and Tubes Manufacturer and Supplier in India
Corten Steel Tube is a leading manufacturer and supplier of ASTM A513 Carbon Steel Tubes in Mumbai, India. These tubes are an affordable choice for mechanical applications because they come in steel grades 1008 to 1015 and as-welded condition. For 18-gauge and lighter wall thicknesses, ASTM A513 mechanical tubing is made from cold-rolled steel; for heavier gauges, hot-rolled steel is utilized. Iron makes up the majority of A513 tube, which is made entirely of ingredients that satisfy carbon steel criteria. So, these tubes are mostly iron, with just the right amounts of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, and even a touch of silver to make them even better.
What is ASTM A513?
A513 steel is a high-carbon alloy from the standard CSA G40.21-13, and the steel has a refined grain structure meaning it is strong, consistent and durable. Due to the high levels of carbon the A513 steel is going to be tough and rigid, but because of its higher carbon makeup, it’s probably not going to be as easy to machine or weld as some different steels. You’ll most likely see this material being shaped in the form of DOM tubing, various end-use products in the automotive, construction and more general mechanical industries.

Types of ASTM A513 Pipes and Tubes
ASTM A513 standard classifies mechanical tubing into several types based on the manufacturing process. Types 1, 2, and 5 are the most common tubing types; each with specific characteristics and proper uses.
Type 1: Hot Rolled Electric-Resistance Welded (ERW)
- Manufacturing Process: Made from hot rolled steel coils, then welded via ERW process.
- Surface Finish: Scale-coated, rougher finish.
- Strength & Tolerance: Moderate mechanical properties; looser dimensional tolerances.
- Applications: Structural support, automotive frames, low-stress mechanical parts.
Type 2: Cold Rolled Electric-Resistance Welded (ERW)
- Manufacturing Process: Made from cold rolled steel, ERW welded.
- Surface Finish: Smooth, clean surface with better aesthetics.
- Strength & Tolerance: Improved surface quality and tighter dimensional tolerances compared to Type 1.
- Applications: Furniture, precision mechanical parts, display systems.
Type 5: Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM)
- Manufacturing Process: Cold-rolled ERW tubing further processed by drawing over a mandrel.
- Surface Finish: Very smooth internal and external surfaces.
- Strength & Tolerance: Excellent dimensional accuracy, superior strength, and concentricity.
- Applications: High-stress components, hydraulic cylinders, shafts, racing applications.

FAQ's
ASTM A513 is a standard specification for electric-resistance-welded (ERW) carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing. It has equivalents in other international standards, including DIN 17175 Grade 16Mo5, EN standards such as EN C10E, and JIS G3445 STKM14A.
For A513-1 steel tubing, permissible variations in wall thickness are ±10% of the nominal wall. For A513-5 DOM tubing, wall thickness tolerances are available upon request.
The key difference between ASTM A500 and ASTM A513 tubing lies in their applications and tolerances. A500 tubing is primarily used for structural and construction purposes, offering high durability. On the other hand, A513 tubing is preferred for commercial and consumer applications, such as lawn mower handles and furniture, as it allows for much tighter tolerances and precise dimensions compared to A500 tubing.
No, ASTM A513 is not intended for pressure applications.
