Extruded aluminum tube product selection guide

When choosing extruded aluminum tube products, it is important to understand the different types, processing methods, specification requirements and related services. Here are answers to some common questions to help you make an informed choice.

1. The difference between extruded tube and drawn tube

  • Extruded tubes are made by heating aluminum alloy raw materials and extruding them through a die. Extruded tubes have high precision and good surface quality and are suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
  • Drawn tubes are formed by stretching aluminum tubes and are usually used for more delicate tube production, suitable for applications that require higher wall thickness uniformity and precision. The production process of drawn tubes is usually slower and suitable for small batches and high precision products.

2. The difference between forward extrusion and reverse extrusion tube

  • Direct extrusion refers to the extrusion of aluminum alloy raw materials from the inlet end of the die. It is suitable for conventional aluminum tube production and is usually used to produce shorter or more standard-sized aluminum tubes.
  • Reverse extrusion refers to the extrusion of aluminum alloy raw materials from the outlet end of the die. It is usually used for more complex aluminum tube shapes. It can better control the wall thickness and shape of the tube and is suitable for high-demand customized products.

3. The difference between extruded seamless pipe and extruded structural pipe

  • Extruded seamless pipe: produced by extrusion process, ensuring seamless pipe, smooth inner and outer surfaces, excellent pressure resistance and strength, suitable for high pressure, high strength applications, such as fuel delivery system, hydraulic system, etc. They usually have small tolerances and are suitable for occasions requiring high precision and quality.
  • Extruded structural tubes: Extruded structural tubes are more commonly used in situations where structural forces need to be carried, and are usually used in frames and supporting structures. Their shapes and cross-sections can be customized according to demand, such as round, square, rectangular, etc., and are widely used in construction, automobiles, machinery and other fields. Compared with seamless tubes, structural tubes are usually lower in strength and pressure resistance, but they perform well in load bearing and structural stability.
Characteristic Extruded seamless pipe Extruded structural tube
Advantage

- Higher strength, stronger resistance to deformation and internal pressure

- Uniform appearance after anodizing

- Very consistent wall thickness around the cross section

- Extrusion speed is faster than seamless pipe, reducing costs

- Multiple openings can be installed in a single die when extruding small cross sections, increasing efficiency

Shortcoming

- Extrusion process is slower and increases costs

- Poor concentricity between inner and outer diameters

- Seams are susceptible to corrosion (although most aluminum alloys are not susceptible to corrosion)

- Welds can create weak areas that are susceptible to breakage

- There may be visible seams on the surface, which will be highlighted after anodizing

Applicable scenarios

- Applications involving large internal pressure or deformation

- Occasions with high requirements on appearance

- Cost-sensitive applications, suitable for load-bearing structures and frames

- Not involving high pressure or large deformation

Selection suggestions

- If the application involves internal pressure or deformation, choose seamless pipe

- When the appearance requirements are very high, choose seamless pipes

- If cost reduction is a priority, choose structural pipe

- structural applications that do not involve high stresses

4. Quote for the quantity of extruded aluminum tubes

Quotations for extruded aluminum tubes are usually determined based on factors such as order quantity, specifications, shape, alloy type, and whether custom processing is required. Generally speaking, larger orders result in lower unit prices; small orders may incur additional costs. In order to obtain an accurate quotation, it is recommended to provide detailed demand information.

5. How is the weight of extruded aluminum tube calculated?

The weight of the extruded aluminum tube can be calculated by the following formula:

Weight = pipe length × (outer diameter 2 − inner diameter 2 ) × π / 4 × density

The outer diameter and inner diameter are the dimensions of the pipe, and the density is usually the standard density of aluminum alloy (approximately 2.7 g/cm³).

6. Extruded aluminum tube packaging and transportation

Extruded aluminum tubes are usually packaged in wooden boxes, cartons or waterproof films to prevent damage during transportation. The transportation method can be selected by land, sea or air according to customer needs. For long-distance transportation, standard pallets and bundling methods are used to ensure the safety of the tubes.

7. What are the advantages of using aluminum alloy extruded tubes compared to other materials such as steel?

  • Lightweight: Aluminum alloy is lighter than steel and has a lower weight, making it suitable for applications that require reducing overall weight.
  • Corrosion resistance: Aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance, especially in wet environments, and performs better than steel.
  • Processability: Aluminum alloy is easy to process and shape, and can meet more complex design requirements.
  • Cost-effectiveness: The production cost of aluminum alloy extruded tubes is relatively low, making them suitable for large-scale production.

8. Are there different grades of aluminum alloy used in extruded aluminum tubes? How do they affect the performance?

Yes, there are different grades of aluminum alloys used in extruded aluminum tubes; the common ones include:

  • 1000 Series: Pure aluminum with excellent corrosion resistance but lower strength for light duty applications.
  • 2000 series: Aluminum-copper alloy, with higher strength, commonly used in the aerospace field.
  • 3000 Series: Aluminum-manganese alloy, good corrosion resistance and medium strength, suitable for construction and home appliance industries.
  • 5000 series: Aluminum-magnesium alloy, with excellent corrosion resistance and good strength, widely used in shipbuilding and chemical industries.

9. Do you supply black extruded aluminum tubes?

Yes, Chalco offers black extruded aluminum tubes. We can treat the aluminum tube surface to black through surface treatment processes such as anodizing, electrophoretic coating, etc. to meet specific design requirements. Black aluminum tubes not only have an aesthetic appearance, but also enhance the corrosion resistance of the aluminum tube, which is suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
