This anodized aluminum square tube is extruded from 6063 alloy and finished with a silver anodized surface. It is built for frames that need a straight section with square corners instead of a round profile, and it is supplied cut to size, with bending, decoiling, welding, punching and cutting offered as processing steps.
Where it is used
A single aluminum square tube usually lands in door and window frames, where it acts as a mullion, a sash bar or a frame rail. The same section also appears in furniture legs, display stands, handrails, machine guards and light structural frames where a square face is easier to join than a round one and where a visible anodized finish matters.
How to choose
Profile size and wall: measure the opening you are framing first, then pick the aluminum square tube whose outer dimension and wall thickness carry the span without flexing. Wall thickness drives stiffness far more than the outer dimension does.
Tolerance: this aluminum square tube is held to ±1%, which suits frame joints that have to close cleanly. If your assembly needs a tighter fit, say so before the profile is cut.
Temper: T3 to T8 is available, with T5 the usual choice for architectural sections. A higher temper raises yield strength and lowers how far the section will bend before it cracks.
Length: each aluminum square tube is cut to your size, so give the finished length rather than a stock length, and state whether the ends need to be square cut or mitred.
Surface: anodized silver is the standard finish for this aluminum square tube. Anodizing hardens the surface and keeps the color stable, but it has to happen before any welding, because welding burns the anodized layer away.
Processing: bending, decoiling, welding, punching and cutting are all done on this tube, so send a drawing if a step has to land in an exact position.
What to confirm before ordering
The outer dimension, wall thickness and temper of the aluminum square tube you have specified, together with the drawing number.
Whether the section is being welded, because the aluminum square tube has to be anodized after welding, not before.
ISO9001 production is standard here. If your buyer needs the certificate on file, say so when the order is placed.
Delivery time, which runs 22 to 30 days, and the minimum order of 100 kilograms, because a smaller trial quantity cannot be produced economically.
Packaging, because an anodized face scratches easily and needs film or paper protection in transit.
Questions buyers send us
Can an aluminum square tube be anodized in a color other than silver? Yes. Silver is the standard, other colors are quoted as customization.
Can you match a section we already use? Send the drawing, and the alloy and the profile can be matched.
