STEEL MART is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company established in 1986, with decades of experience in supplying high-quality carbon steel products to various industries. We specialize in manufacturing and supplying AISI 1026 Carbon Steels (UNS G10260 / SAE 1026 / ASTM A519) that meet national and international quality standards for hydraulic cylinders, mechanical tubing, automotive, and heavy engineering applications. AISI 1026 Carbon Steel is a low-to-medium carbon steel known for its superior tensile strength, high yield point, good machinability (65-70%), and excellent cold drawability (DOM tubing). With higher carbon and manganese content than 1020, AISI 1026 offers enhanced mechanical performance while retaining good weldability and ductility. AISI 1026 is typically supplied in DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) cold drawn, normalized, or hot rolled condition, ensuring uniform wall thickness, close dimensional tolerances, and high structural integrity. This carbon steel grade is widely used for manufacturing hydraulic cylinder barrels, drive axles, steering columns, mechanical tubing, rollers, and couplings.
Our AISI 1026 Carbon Steels are 100% Prime – Tested & Guaranteed, ensuring precise chemical composition, dimensional accuracy, and consistent mechanical properties. Each product is supplied with proper Mill Test Certificates (MTC) confirming compliance with ASTM A519 / ASTM A108 standards. STEEL MART follows strict quality control procedures and ensures timely delivery.
