Extruded aluminum tube

Extruded aluminum tubes are hollow, long pieces of aluminum alloy produced by heating an aluminum alloy ingot and then extruding it through a die. The extrusion process allows for the production of a variety of cross-sections (round, square, rectangular, elliptical, and custom profiles) for use in structural components, pipelines, frames, heat exchangers, architectural decoration, and lightweight automotive and aviation parts. Commonly used alloys are 6061, 6063, 6005, and 6060. 6061 is used for structural components requiring higher strength, while 6063/6060 are often used for architectural/decorative profiles requiring a superior anodized appearance.

What are Extruded aluminum tubes?

Extruded aluminum tubes are produced by forcing heated aluminum billets through a die to create seamless hollow profiles with precise dimensions. These tubes are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to machine or weld, making them ideal for structural, architectural, and mechanical applications. Common alloys such as 6061, 6063, 6060, and 6005 provide a balance of strength, surface quality, and formability. Available in a wide range of outer diameters (3–300 mm) and wall thicknesses (0.5–5 mm), they can be supplied in T5, T6, or T651 tempers to meet specific performance needs. Surface finishes include mill, anodized, powder-coated, or polished options. Manufactured in compliance with ASTM B221, B241, and B429 standards, extruded aluminum tubes are widely used in construction frames, furniture, transportation, heat exchangers, and industrial equipment.

What are Extruded aluminum tube used for?

Extruded aluminum tubes are widely used in industries that require lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials. They serve as key structural and functional components in construction, transportation, machinery, and consumer products.

In construction, they are used for window and door frames, curtain walls, railings, and support structures due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and aesthetic surface finishes. In transportation and automotive manufacturing, extruded aluminum tubes are ideal for vehicle frames, roof rails, bicycle frames, and heat exchangers, helping to reduce overall weight while maintaining strength.

They are also used in furniture, display systems, hydraulic cylinders, marine parts, and aerospace components, where precision, formability, and corrosion resistance are critical. Overall, extruded aluminum tubes combine strength, lightness, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of structural and decorative applications.

What are the characteristics of Extruded aluminum tube?

Lightweight and High Strength – Aluminum provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for strong yet lightweight structures.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Naturally protected by an oxide layer, extruded tubes perform well in outdoor, marine, and industrial environments.
Good Machinability and Weldability – They are easy to cut, drill, bend, and weld, supporting a variety of fabrication and assembly needs.
Smooth and Attractive Surface Finish – Suitable for mill, anodized, powder-coated, or polished finishes, offering both functional and decorative appeal.
Precise Dimensional Control – The extrusion process ensures accurate sizes, consistent wall thickness, and uniform cross-sections.
Thermal and Electrical Conductivity – Aluminum tubes efficiently conduct heat and electricity, making them ideal for heat exchangers and electrical enclosures.
Recyclable and Sustainable – Aluminum can be recycled without losing its mechanical properties, supporting environmentally friendly manufacturing.

These characteristics make extruded aluminum tubes an excellent choice for applications in construction, machinery, automotive, aerospace, and consumer industries.
