Oval Tubing
Oval Tubing
(OP)
Good day everyone. Would anyone know of a mill or distributor who handles STOCK sizes of oval or obround carbon steel (1020/1026) tubing. Let me eliminate 90% of your responses before-hand by saying that a custom run is out of the question, I only need a couple 100 feet of two sizes. Thanks for your input. Wes.

You might want to try running relatively thin-wall round [seamless] tubing thru oval rolling-dies [progressive sizing]. The Tubing can be formed cold, warm or hot[depending on severity of forming]... then stress-relieved If/as Required.
Good-luck
Note: in aviation "streamlined" [semi-oval] 4130 N steel is used for highly loaded struts.
