Having looked up what was available in AF29 I see there are a few choices of sizing. Which of the following sounds like what you want to know? There is "Tubes, steel for struts, hard drawn and blued" and "tubes, steel, for sockets, blued" and " Tubes, steel, oval, for aircraft"

Hi Bob
How's things ?.
Yes it is steel tube, I believe that it may be the same as A & P 288 but am not 100% sure.

Correction to my last note.
The section I mentiond should have been A & P 286 not 288.
