This 7075 T6 aluminum tube is a cold drawn precision tube supplied as straight round tubing. It is made for parts such as golf poles and shafts, and for other lightweight frames where a round metal tube has to be straight and consistent along its length.
Material: the tube is produced from alloy 7075 in the T6 temper. 7075 is a zinc bearing aluminium alloy, and T6 is the temper that follows solution heat treatment and artificial ageing, so the tube is supplied in a hardened, stable condition rather than a soft annealed state.
Cold drawing: the tube is cold drawn, which means it is pulled through a die at room temperature to reduce its section and set its final size. Cold drawing is used when the tube has to hold a tight dimensional tolerance and a smooth surface rather than being produced only to a nominal diameter.
Precision dimensions: because the final size is set by the die, wall thickness, outer diameter and roundness are held closely along the full length. This matters for parts that slide inside another tube or that must fit a fixed socket.
Straightness: golf poles and shafts need a tube that does not wobble. Straightness is therefore checked so that the finished tube runs true when it is rotated or rolled.
Surface condition: the drawn surface is smooth and uniform, which gives a clean base for later steps such as anodizing, painting or polishing by the buyer.
Temper and strength: the T6 condition is used when the part must resist bending without deforming permanently. Together with the low density of aluminium, the tube keeps the assembly light while staying rigid enough for a shaft that is swung or loaded.
Typical applications: golf poles and shaft sections are the main use. The same tube is also used for telescopic poles, cue and rod sections, antenna and mast tubes, and lightweight frame members.
Fabrication: cold drawn aluminium tube can be cut, drilled, tapped, bent and machined. Buyers normally confirm the cutting method and any secondary operations before production.
Lengths and sizes: cut length, outer diameter and wall thickness are agreed for each order, so the tube can be supplied close to the finished part size.
Inspection: finished tubes are checked for size, straightness and surface appearance before they leave production.
Ordering: the buyer confirms the alloy and temper, outer diameter, wall thickness, cut length and surface requirement before production.
