Manufacturing Process

Aluminum tube manufacturing uses extrusion to shape aluminum alloy into continuous profiles. It’s the most efficient way to create complex tube shapes for many applications.

First, the aluminum billet is prepared. Then the billet is heated to make it soft enough to shape. During extrusion, the heated billet is pushed through a die to form the tube shape. The die design is critical to get the right profile and minimize defects.

After extrusion, the tubes cool quickly to hold their shape. This cooling process is important to get the strength of the aluminum. Once cooled the continuous tube is cut into manageable lengths. Finally finishing is applied to make it look and perform better.

  • Choosing the right alloy is important because each alloy has its own properties.
  • The billet temperature must be controlled to shape smoothly.
  • Regular maintenance of equipment will prevent production problems and quality issues.
  • The speed and pressure during extrusion must be monitored carefully for the best results.
  • Inner coatings can also be used to add protection and performance.

Aluminum Tube Dimensions

Aluminum tubing is available in various sizes to meet different needs.

The outer diameters (OD) of aluminum tubes range from 1/8 inch to 12-¾ inches. This variety makes them suitable for both small-scale projects and larger applications. The tubes also have thin walls, making them versatile for designs requiring precision and efficiency.

Common aluminum tube series include 2000 and 6000. These series cater to specific industrial requirements, offering strength, durability, or flexibility depending on the application. Whether for construction, automotive, or aerospace use, these options provide reliable solutions.

Tube Extrusions Types

Aluminum tubes come in many forms, each for a purpose. The main types are seamless, welded, drawn, extruded, finned, coiled, square, rectangular, and hollow. Their manufacturing process determines their use.

  • Seamless tubes are best for high-pressure situations.
  • Welded tubes suit lower-pressure needs.
  • Drawn tubes offer precision for detailed specifications.
  • Extruded tubes are strong and commonly used in construction.
  • Finned tubes improve heat transfer efficiency, making them ideal for heating and cooling systems.
  • Coiled tubes provide flexibility for different installations.
  • Square, rectangular, and hollow tubes deliver structural support for specialized uses.

6061, 5052, and 2024 are common aluminum alloys with different properties for different industries. 6061 is used in welding and construction. 5052 is used in marine for corrosion resistance. 2024 is used in aerospace for strength-to-weight ratio.

Applications and Advantages

Aluminum tubes are versatile and widely used across many industries. They excel in sectors that need lightweight materials, such as aerospace, motorsport, and rigging.

One major advantage of aluminum tubes is their recyclability. Recycling aluminum uses less energy than recycling many other materials, making aluminum an eco-friendly choice. Additionally, aluminum tubes are lightweight and durable, simplifying handling and transportation. They also provide accurate dosage in applications that require precision.

Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion, which helps extend the lifespan of products made from it. The material’s adaptability allows for various designs and applications. With plenty of raw materials available, aluminum is a dependable option for manufacturers.

Compared to steel, aluminum offers a better strength-to-weight ratio and greater corrosion resistance. This means you can achieve the same strength with less weight, which is essential in many applications.

Properties

Aluminum tubes, especially 6061, have many good properties. They are formable, weldable, and corrosion-resistant. This heat-treatable alloy is lightweight and has good heat conductivity.

6061 aluminum tubes are good for structural applications because of their weldability and medium to high strength. They work well in building frames and other load-bearing applications. 6063 has lower strength but is better for architectural applications where heavy loads are not a concern.

These extruded aluminum tubes come in square, round, and rectangular shapes. They are for structural components, frames, machine parts, and aerospace applications.

Manufacturers

Aluminum extrusion tube suppliers make tubes in square, rectangular, and round shapes. Tubes come in all sizes to suit different industries. They serve construction, aerospace, automotive, and more.

Companies like Hugh Aluminum use modern technology to produce high-quality tube extrusions. We offer custom solutions for specific applications, precision and reliability are key.

Many suppliers also offer cutting, drilling, and surface treatments, such as anodizing or powder coating, to improve the tube’s functionality and appearance.

Alloys and finishes available,  aluminum extruded tube suppliers deliver strong and tough. Structural or decorative you need, they have products that meet high performance.
