Material Specifications & International Equivalents
As a prominent member of the STKM series mechanical structural tubes, STKM11A corresponds to various international material standards including:
• China: 10# steel (GB/T 699)
• United States: 1010 steel (ASTM standards)
• Germany: C10 (DIN standards)
The optimized manganese content of 0.30%-0.60% ensures balanced mechanical properties while maintaining excellent processing characteristics across various manufacturing operations and service conditions.
Mechanical Properties & Performance Characteristics
These low-carbon seamless tubes demonstrate outstanding mechanical capabilities in annealed condition with tensile strength ≥335MPa, yield strength ≥205MPa, and exceptional elongation ≥25%. The superior plastic deformation capacity enables excellent cold forming performance including bending, flaring, and other shaping operations without material failure concerns.
The excellent welding performance requires no complex preheating procedures, while maintaining good machinability and processing characteristics. Although offering lower strength compared to medium-carbon steels, these tubes provide ideal solutions for applications prioritizing ease of fabrication and welding reliability over extreme mechanical strength.
