This aluminium tube is a hollow pipe supplied in custom diameters from 10 mm up to 30 mm, in 6063 and 6061 T6 alloy. Rather than offering a fixed stock size, the tube is made to the diameter, wall and length a project needs, and it can be bent and welded as part of the same supply so the finished part arrives ready for assembly.
Because the tube is hollow and light, it is a practical choice where a part has to stay stiff without adding much weight. The two alloys cover different priorities: 6063 is used where a smooth surface and easy forming matter, while 6061 T6 is used where the part needs more strength in a structural application.
Custom diameter and length
Diameter and length are set per order. Starting from a 10 mm tube up to a 30 mm tube, the outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length are all specified by the customer, and the tube can be supplied in straight mill lengths or cut to a fixed size for the next step.
Bending and welding services
Bending and welding are handled alongside the tube supply so the bend radius and the weld joint are matched to the tube from the start rather than sourced from different suppliers.
Anti-corrosion finish
The tube is available with an anti-corrosion treatment to suit outdoor and damp environments. A treated surface helps the tube resist the oxidation and staining that untreated aluminium can show on frames, rails and parts that are exposed to weather or washed regularly.
Where the tube is used
Hollow aluminium tube of this kind is used for frames, rails, supports, handles and structural members across many fabricated products. When it is bent and welded to a drawing, the same tube can serve as a single formed part instead of a joint made from several cut pieces.
Checking and packing
Orders are checked for diameter, wall thickness, straightness and surface condition before packing, and the tubes are packed so the surface is protected in transit.
Ordering notes
For a quotation, the outside diameter, wall thickness, alloy and temper, length, bend detail and finish are the points that define the tube. A drawing or sample helps confirm the exact tube and any formed shape.
With custom diameter, custom length, bending, welding and an anti-corrosion finish handled together, this 6063 and 6061 T6 aluminium tube is aimed at buyers who need a formed tube for a repeat build rather than an off-the-shelf pipe.
