Inox Steel India is a leading manufacturer, exporter, and stockholder of DIN 2391 ST52 Precision Tubes — high-strength seamless tubes widely used in hydraulic systems, automotive components, machinery parts, structural engineering, and heavy-duty mechanical applications.
ST52 is a low-alloy, high-strength carbon steel grade known for its superior mechanical properties, excellent weldability, and high fatigue resistance.
Our cold drawn seamless (CDS) ST52 precision tubes offer very close dimensional tolerance, high strength-to-weight ratio, superior surface finish (OD & ID), excellent machinability, and straightness accuracy ideal for CNC machining.
DIN 2391 ST52 tubes are used where strength, precision, and durability are mandatory—especially in components exposed to high stress, dynamic loading, and pressure fluctuations.
Precision tubes must provide accurate OD & ID, fine tolerances for fittings & machining, high tensile and yield strength, smooth internal surface, and excellent bending & forming performance.
ST52 excels in all these areas due to its optimized carbon-manganese alloy chemistry.
