Aluminum Tube
Lightweight with good heat conductivity makes aluminum tubing a preferred material for designing and engineering applications that benefit from its durability. Due to its physical properties, aluminum tube stock is often used for applications such as hydraulic systems, fuselage for aircraft, HVAC equipment, and small appliances.
Aluminum 6061 is a structural alloy that provides excellent weldability and medium-to-high strength properties. As an anodized metal, it can also be heat treated to improve corrosion resistance, making it a versatile aluminum alloy.
Aluminum 6063 has lower strength properties than aluminum 6061 making it suitable for architectural applications or building applications where strength is not required.
