Mild Steel Round Tubing 1in x .065in x 12ft

Mild Steel Round Tubing 1in x .065in x 12ft from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a foundational material for custom chassis fabrication, roll cage construction, and frame reinforcement in automotive restoration and performance builds. Whether you're designing a lightweight tube frame, building a safety roll bar for a track vehicle, or creating structural bracing for a heavily modified engine bay, this seamless tubing delivers the strength and workability required for professional-grade metalworking. The 12-foot length provides ample material for most single-component projects without excess waste, making it ideal for both small fabrication shops and individual builders.

The 1-inch outer diameter with .065-inch wall thickness strikes a practical balance between structural rigidity and weldability, offering excellent strength-to-weight characteristics for mid-size tubing applications. Mild steel composition ensures superior ductility and ease of fabrication compared to high-carbon or alloy alternatives—you can bend, cut, and weld this material without heat-treating concerns or specialized equipment. The consistent wall thickness allows for predictable load distribution and uniform welding characteristics, critical factors when creating joints that must withstand vibration, impact, and thermal cycling inherent to automotive duty. At 7.49 pounds, this 12-foot section remains manageable for single-person handling while maintaining sufficient mass for serious structural applications.

This tubing suits fabricators, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts working on custom frames, exhaust systems, suspension upgrades, and safety cages for street rods, race cars, and lifted trucks. Those investing in TIG or MIG welding equipment will appreciate the predictable arc characteristics and minimal spatter when joining this material. Compatibility spans virtually all standard automotive welding practices and fastening methods, from full penetration butt welds to gusset-reinforced corner joints. Stock this tubing for projects requiring precision bending, multiple cuts, or experimental fitting before committing to finished fabrication.
