Why choose Chalco as your supplier for your aluminum alloy square tube project?

Aluminum Square Tube Production: A fundamental advantage of all our tube and box profiles is the way they are manufactured. Aluminum extrusion is the process of converting aluminum alloy from aluminum rod or billet into a hollow square tube. Once it is pushed through a die in a hot furnace under extreme pressure, the new aluminum profile is extracted and then cooled to solidify its newly formed shape. The entire process is controlled with the utmost precision. This method ensures that the final product you receive has a good surface finish and beautiful square edges.
Large diameter aluminum square tube processing capability: Aluminum Corporation of China uses a 500MN extruder to pierce the billet once and then extrude it vertically into a round tube, and then use a roll forming machine to roll it into an aluminum square tube. Our advanced technology not only makes breakthroughs in product production, but also reflects strong production strength and innovation capabilities. We are committed to becoming your long-term partner for aluminum alloy square tubes to meet the needs of different projects.
Aluminum tube testing: After the product is produced, we will conduct a series of rigorous tests to ensure product quality. This includes surface inspection, dimensional inspection, geometric tolerance inspection, non-destructive testing, metallographic inspection and hardness testing. Through these testing processes, we ensure that each aluminum alloy square tube meets the highest standards and provides customers with reliable products.
Packaging and transportation: In order to ensure that our products arrive at the destination intact, we implement multiple layers of protection during transportation and storage, covering rust prevention, winding protection, drying treatment, end cap protection, etc. Escort your product safe transportation.

More information about aluminum box profiles

Can I get a quote for specific sizes and quantities of aluminum box profiles?

Yes. We are happy to discuss your specific Aluminum Square Tube size and quantity requirements to help you get the product you need.

How is the weight of aluminum box profiles calculated?

The weight of the aluminum box profile is calculated in kg/ m and then multiplied by the length of the final product.

What are the common applications of aluminum square tubes?

aluminum hollow profiles include the construction industry, as well as the manufacturing of different products such as doors and windows, furniture, medical equipment and shelving.

What is the corrosion resistance of aluminum box profiles?

Aluminum box profiles are highly resistant to corrosion. A thin oxide layer naturally and quickly forms on the surface of aluminum, protecting the rest of the material from further corrosion.

What are the advantages of using aluminum square tubes compared to other materials such as steel?

Aluminum tubes have several advantages over other materials, primarily due to their high strength-to-weight ratio compared to other metals, as well as corrosion resistance and nearly unlimited recyclability.

Are there different grades of aluminium alloy used in box profiles? How do they affect the properties?

Aluminum box profiles come in several different grades, depending on the materials used in the alloy. The most common is the 6000 grade alloy, which is also the main material we stock at Chalco. These alloys mainly use magnesium and silicates as alloying materials. We also stock some 5000 series, 2000 series, 7000 series, and 1000 series aluminum square tube products. Products that are not in stock can be produced online.

Do you supply black aluminum box profiles?

Yes. We offer black aluminum enclosure profiles, as well as a range of other powder coated aluminum enclosure profiles, all cut to size. Chalco also offers anodized and coated aluminum tubes in other colors to suit different customer project requirements.
