About Aluminum Tubing
Aluminum tubing is a hollow, extruded aluminum product that is used for a variety of applications across many industries. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is corrosion resistant and heat treatable, and can be easily formed and welded. Aluminum tubing comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 1/8 inch to 8 inches in diameter.
Types of Aluminum Tubing
The type of aluminum tubing needed depends on the application. For instance, 1/2 inch aluminum tubing might be used for plumbing applications while 3 inch aluminum square tubing might be used for structural support in construction projects. Additionally, 2 inch aluminum square tubing could be used for ornamental purposes or decorative purposes such as handrails.
How Aluminum Tubing are Made
Aluminum tubing is made by taking an extrusion die with the desired shape and forcing it through an extrusion press. The press applies pressure to the die which forces hot metal through the opening creating the tube shape. Depending on its intended use, different alloys may be added to provide additional strength or flexibility.
Industries that use Aluminum Tubing
Aluminum tubing is commonly found in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, medical equipment production, and even architecture. Professionals in these fields often need to customize their tubes according to their specific needs and requirements - whether it's making sure they are lightweight yet strong enough to withstand certain pressures or ensuring they have adequate heat dissipation properties.
