Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled Carbon Steel Tubing

Hot rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) steel is hot rolled steel but without any scale. The pickling process removes the scale from the hot rolled sheet surface with water solutions and inorganic acids.

High Strength Low Alloy

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels are used in cars, trucks, cranes, bridges, roller coasters and other structures that are designed to handle large amounts of stress and need a good strength-to-weight ratio. They have a carbon content between 0.05 – 0.25% to retain formability and weldability. Due to their high strength and toughness, HSLA steel tube usually require 25 - 30% more power to form.

  • Automotive
  • Line pipe strip and plate
  • Mining equipment
  • Aviation applications
  • Marine applications
  • Available Forms
  • HSLA: 50X, 60X, 70X
