What is extruded aluminum tubing?

Extruded aluminum tubing is a type of aluminum product that is formed by forcing heated aluminum through a die to create a specific shape and size. This process results in a seamless, uniform, and consistent tube with a smooth surface finish. Extruded aluminum tubing is commonly used in various applications such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing due to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength properties. It can be further processed, cut, drilled, or welded to create custom components for different purposes.

One of our most popularly requested items is rectangular aluminum tubing, which finds extensive use across a diverse range of applications. Its inherent strength, durability, and long-lasting nature make it the perfect choice for framing and construction projects.

Zhonglian Aluminum offers aluminum rectangular tubing in 6063 and 6061 alloys. The 6063 Aluminum Rectangular tube is utilized in various applications such as Home Depot, window and door frames, Tile Trim, furniture, and architectural projects, boasting an impressive surface appearance with the 6063 Alloy.

On the other hand, the 6061 aluminum rectangular tubing exhibits higher tensile and yield strength compared to Alloy 6063, making it the preferred choice for structural components, truck and bike frames, and electrical fittings, among other uses.

From 15mm x 7.2mm up to 400mm x 100mm, Zhonglian has hundreds of different dimensions of Extruded Aluminium Retangular Tube in stock. The sizes, colors, and the surface treatment are customized. Please contact us for more details.

products features

Aluminum rectangular tubing is a popular choice for a wide range of industries, including construction, transportation, manufacturing, and architecture due to the following key features:

Lightweight: Aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, making it easier to handle and transport.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum has natural corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and marine applications.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Aluminum offers high strength while remaining lightweight, making it ideal for structural applications.
Versatility: Aluminum rectangular tubing can be easily machined, welded, and formed to create custom components for various applications.
Aesthetic Appeal: Aluminum tubing can be anodized or coated to enhance its appearance and provide additional protection.
Recyclability: Aluminum is a sustainable material that can be recycled repeatedly without losing its properties, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of aluminum rectangular tubing typically involves the following steps:

Extrusion: The process begins with extruding aluminum billets through a die to create the desired rectangular shape. This is achieved by forcing the heated aluminum through the die, resulting in a seamless and uniform tube.
Cutting: Once the extrusion process is complete, the aluminum tubes are cut to the required lengths using precision cutting equipment.
Surface Treatment: The aluminum rectangular tubing may undergo surface treatments such as anodizing, powder coating, or painting to enhance its appearance, provide corrosion resistance, or improve durability.
Quality Control: The tubing undergoes rigorous quality control measures to ensure that it meets industry standards for dimensions, strength, and surface finish.
Packaging: The finished aluminum rectangular tubing is then packaged and prepared for shipping to customers or further processing.
