Carbon Steel A179 Tubing

SA 179 Carbon Steel has a chemical composition of 0.06 - 0.18% carbon, 0.27 - 0.63% manganese, up to 0.035% phosphorous, and up to 0.040% sulfur. It also contains traces of silicon and other alloying elements, as well as small amounts of iron and aluminum. SA 179 Steel is often used in high-temperature applications such as boilers and heat exchangers since it is resistant to oxidation and corrosion due to its chemical composition.

179 SA Carbon Steel is a general-purpose, low-carbon steel known for its versatility and strength. It has good formability, weldability, and machinability properties, making it ideal for various applications. Thanks to its corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, SA 179 Carbon Steel can be used in heat exchangers, power plants, boilers, pressure vessels, and other uses where high temperatures are reached. Additionally, its excellent fatigue resistance makes it suitable for components subject to cyclic loads for long periods.
