What is aluminum tube?
Aluminum tube is a kind of nonferrous metal tube, which refers to the metal tubular material extruded from pure aluminum or aluminum alloy to be hollow along its longitudinal full length. There can be one or more closed through holes with uniform wall thickness and cross section, which are delivered in straight line or roll form. It is widely used in automobile, ship, aerospace, aviation, electrical appliances, agriculture, electromechanical, household and other industries.
What are the features of of aluminum tube?
1. Intensified heat treatment, high impact, insensitive to defects.
2. With excellent thermoplasticity, it can be extruded into complex thin-walled hollow profiles at high speed or forged into forgings with complex structures. Wide quenching temperature range and low quenching sensitivity. After extrusion, forging, demoulding, as long as the temperature is higher than the quenching temperature. That is, it can be quenched by spraying water or piercing water. Thin-walled parts (6<3mm) can also be air quenched.
3. Excellent welding performance and corrosion resistance, no tendency of stress corrosion cracking. Among the heat treatable aluminum alloys, Al-Mg-Si alloy is the only one without stress corrosion cracking.
4. The surface is very smooth after processing, easy to anodize and color. The disadvantage is that if it is parked at room temperature for a period of time after quenching and then aged, it will damage the strength (parking effect).
What can aluminum tubes be used for?
Aluminum tubes have the characteristics of corrosion resistance and light weight, and are widely used in various industries, such as automobiles, ships, aerospace, aviation, electrical appliances, agriculture, electromechanical, household and so on.
What is the strongest type of aluminum tube?
The 7075 grade is the most common of the 7000 series grades. It is the strongest alloy; the strongest of all commercial grades of aluminum. In fact, grade 7075 is stronger than many types of mild steel.
Price of aluminum tube
Usually the price will be affected by raw materials, market environment, research and development costs, etc. If you need to know the latest price of aluminum alloy, you can contact Staral’s customer service to answer your questions.
