| Quotation and inspection | Provide OD, length, finished tolerance, surface finish and heat-lot documents |
Engineering reference, not a mill test report. Actual chemistry, properties, condition, availability and qualification must meet the ordered product specification and accompanying certification.
Material Properties, Typical Parts and Selection
The same grade name as 1026 solid steel does not establish the same tube properties. Representative applications include mechanical sleeves, shaft tubes, equipment spacers and hydraulic parts. Suitability depends on the environment, grade, geometry, strength/temper and processing route. Specify finished-size and material performance separately; two alloys with similar commercial names may have different test standards.
Precision Grinding, Straightening and Bar Finishing
Mozaic Precision Metals supports project-specific bar sourcing and centerless grinding, straightening, polishing, cutting, chamfering and packaging. Describe the incoming and finished OD, bar length, drawing requirements, production quantity and material traceability. Surface roughness, diameter tolerance and straightness are independent acceptance characteristics, and actual capability is confirmed by quote.

Common Buyer Questions
What condition must be specified for 1026 DOM Steel Tubing?
OD, wall, tube condition and straightness must be defined. If the condition is not on the drawing, request the engineer’s confirmation before ordering or machining.
Are nearby grades automatic equivalents?
No. The same grade name as 1026 solid steel does not establish the same tube properties. Mechanical-property and chemical compliance must be verified against the applicable specification and mill certification.
