Mild Steel Round Tubing 1-5/8in x .120in x 12ft

The Mild Steel Round Tubing 1-5/8in x .120in x 12ft is a foundational structural component built for fabrication, repair, and construction applications across tactical, military, and industrial environments. Whether you're reinforcing vehicle frames, building custom equipment racks, constructing support structures for ballistic barriers, or fabricating mounts and brackets for field-deployed systems, this cold-drawn mild steel tubing delivers dependable strength at operational weight. The 12-foot length provides flexibility for cutting to exact specifications without excessive material waste, making it ideal for both prototype development and production runs.

Manufactured by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE, this round tubing features a 1-5/8 inch outside diameter with a .120 inch wall thickness, engineered to balance structural rigidity with workability. The mild steel composition—typically ASTM A513 grade—offers excellent weldability without requiring post-weld heat treatment, critical when fabricating field-serviceable components under operational constraints. The uniform wall thickness ensures consistent load distribution and predictable bending characteristics, while the cold-drawn process minimizes surface irregularities that could compromise welding quality or introduce stress concentrations. At 22.29 lbs, the complete 12-foot length remains manageable for shop handling and transport, yet provides substantial material for multi-piece projects or high-demand applications.

Personnel in military logistics, law enforcement equipment fabrication, armory construction, and tactical vehicle maintenance will recognize this tubing as essential inventory. Field armorers, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shops benefit from the straightforward machinability and repeatability across multiple batches, ensuring standardization when building replacement components or custom solutions. Installation requires standard cutting equipment (bandsaw or abrasive saw) and conventional welding practices—MIG or stick processes work reliably without specialized inert atmosphere requirements. Compatibility extends across all common base metals and fastening methods, making this tubing suitable for integration into existing structural systems or standalone builds requiring predictable mechanical performance.
