Extruded Aluminium Tube/Pipe is formed by hot extrusion. Extrusion is defined as the process of shaping material, by forcing heated aluminium billet to extrude through a shaped opening in a die, combining the differences in die and processing. Extruded tube is available as a seamless or structural grade product.
● Seamless tube is extruded over a mandrel utilizing a hollow billet and is the only tubular product recommended for pressure applications.
● The structural tube is extruded over a bridge or porthole die and will contain weld seams that are evident if anodized.
Extruded Aluminum Tube/Pipe, as a widely used aluminum profile type, aluminium tubes are available in square, rectangular, and round shapes in a range of sizes based on the outside dimensions. For customers, the tube’s strength is a very important factor to consider, which is determined by selected aluminum alloy, the thickness of the walls, and the size of the tube.
