Product Introduction

An aluminum round tube is a non-ferrous, round, hollow aluminum product used in many structural applications. Aluminum round tubes are typically manufactured through extrusion, where a heated aluminum billet is forced through a shaped die to create a continuous tube length with a circular cross-section.

Aluminum round tubes come in a wide range of different finishes, including anodized. The interior is generally smooth with no seams. It is available in two variants: a more affordable extruded structural aluminum round tube or a more expensive drawn seamless form for those higher precision applications.

Advantages of Aluminum Tubing

1. Corrosion Resistant

Of all the advantages brought by aluminum, none are more important than corrosion resistance. This metal can fight rust far better than most of the popular metals, which is why it’s often selected for a variety of outdoor and aquatic applications.

2. Lightweight

While other metals may be stronger, aluminum has a clear advantage in overall weight. Steel, for example, weighs much more than aluminum. Iron is also much heavier; aluminum is roughly a third of the weight compared to iron.

For this reason, aluminum tubing is ideal for applications in the transportation and aerospace industries. With aluminum tubing, engineers can create far lighter vehicles.

3. Sound Insulating

Sound control can be important for a variety of reasons, and while aluminum tubing may not be considered a sound-control material (like sound-insulating drywall, for example), it does have the ability to reduce sounds from one area to another.

4. Heat and Flame Resistant

Aluminum tubes also have heat-insulation properties and can be used when even temperatures are required for an industrial or mechanical structure.

5. Long-term Durability

Aluminum is specifically manufactured to resist corrosion, which not only keeps it strong but also ensures long-term durability. Builders, manufacturers, and industrial experts who need metal tubing that will last for decades often turn to aluminum, assuming the greater strength of steel is not required.

6. Malleable

Aluminum is one of the most versatile metals currently available, which is why aluminum tubing is so popular. This metal can be formed into a variety of different shapes and sizes, and it’s generally easy (and relatively affordable) to work with. This makes aluminum the ideal choice for applications where malleability is important.

7. Recyclable

Many companies are adopting eco-friendly practices, which include the use of recyclable materials. Because aluminum tubing can be recycled, extra material, such as cut-off ends, can be recycled instead of going into the landfill.

Aluminum is considered a “sustainable metal.” This means there is no limit to how many times the metal can be formed, broken down, reformed, and broken down again. Essentially, there is no loss of material when aluminum is recycled.

We have our own Physical & Chemical Testing Center Lab to guarantee our product quality. Our test items & instrument fully meet international standards.

Applications of Aluminum Tubing

Aluminum tubes and pipes are used for tent poles, outdoor tables, camp chair frames, bed frames, wheelchair frames, collapsible stretchers, crutches, hydraulic systems, fuel lines, lining tables and electrical equipment. Aluminum tubes and pipes have a high thermal conductivity, which makes them ideal for refrigerator, HVAC and engine parts. Aluminum pipes are used to transport a wide variety of liquids and gases. Aluminum pipe fittings are used for hydraulic systems, fuel lines and fuel tanks.
