Renowned for its exceptional dimensional accuracy, weldability, and consistent performance, Latham Steel guarantees that its SAE 1026 tubing adheres to strict international standards. This medium-carbon steel grade boasts greater strength than low-carbon tubing while still offering good machinability and formability. Various industries throughout New Zealand depend on SAE 1026 Tubing for hydraulic cylinders, machinery components, automotive parts, and fabrication projects that demand strength and durability. With its dependable supply and quality control, Latham Steel is a top choice.
SAE 1026 Tubing is crafted from medium-carbon steel, containing about 0.22–0.28% carbon, along with manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, and a hint of silicon. This blend enhances strength and hardness compared to low-carbon grades while keeping machinability intact. SAE 1026 delivers impressive tensile and yield strength, good toughness, and reliable performance under moderate to heavy loads. It’s also suitable for heat treatment processes like carburizing or induction hardening to boost surface wear resistance. The combination of strength, ductility, and weldability makes SAE 1026 perfect for precision-machined and load-bearing applications.
