Chrome Moly Round Tubing 1-5/8in x .083in x 12ft

Chrome Moly Round Tubing 1-5/8in x .083in x 12ft from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is the foundational material for custom fabrication in high-performance automotive builds. Whether you're constructing a roll cage, building a custom frame, designing exhaust manifolds, or engineering suspension components, this chromium-molybdenum alloy tubing delivers superior strength-to-weight characteristics that steel simply cannot match. Professional fabricators, motorsports builders, and serious enthusiasts rely on chrome moly tubing because it withstands extreme stress, vibration, and temperature cycles without sacrificing structural integrity or adding unnecessary bulk to your project.

The 1-5/8 inch outer diameter with .083 inch wall thickness provides an optimal balance of rigidity and weldability for mid-range structural applications. Chrome moly's superior tensile strength—approximately 180,000 PSI compared to mild steel's 60,000 PSI—means thinner walls achieve equivalent or superior performance, reducing overall weight without compromising durability. The .083 inch wall offers excellent weldability with minimal distortion, critical for precision fabrication where tolerances matter. This 12-foot length minimizes waste on typical projects while remaining manageable for transport and shop handling. ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE's commitment to metallurgical standards ensures consistent composition and mechanical properties across every length you purchase.

Fabricators building roll cages, chassis braces, and performance suspension components benefit most from this tubing's predictable performance under load. Weekend warriors constructing custom frames, tube manifolds, and intercooler piping appreciate the ease of TIG or MIG welding without special heat-treat protocols. The 1-5/8 inch diameter works across a wide range of applications—from control arm construction to exhaust headers to structural reinforcement—making it a versatile stock item for any serious fabrication shop. Ensure your welder is properly set for chrome moly (slightly different parameters than mild steel) and plan for post-weld stress relief on critical structural components for maximum longevity and safety.
