The Definition of Aluminium Tube

The definition of aluminium tubes are a type of non-ferrous metal tubes, which are metallic tubular materials extruded from pure aluminium or aluminium alloys that are hollow along their entire longitudinal length.

Processing of Aluminium Tubes

Alloy aluminium tubes and profiles are mainly produced by extrusion, and the most commonly used extrusion processes are forward extrusion and reverse extrusion. Extruded alloy aluminium tubes and profiles are produced by the production process of ingot heating-extrusion-finishing; for aluminium alloys that can be strengthened after heat treatment, quenching and aging treatment are also required.

Classification of Aluminium Tubes

Classification of aluminium tubes by shape:

aluminium square tubes, aluminium round tubes, aluminium corrugated tubes, aluminium profiled tubes and aluminium universal aluminium tubes.

Classification of aluminium tubes by surface treatment:

PVDF, Powder Coating, Wooden grain, Anodizing.

Classification of aluminium tubes by extrusion method:

seamless aluminium tubes and ordinary extruded aluminium tubes.

Aluminium extruded pipe is produced by heating a metal billet to a plastic state and then forcing it through a die to form the desired shape. The resulting pipe has a uniform cross-section and can be produced in very long lengths, making it ideal for use in structural applications such as structures where a uniform cross-section is required or where pipe length is a critical factor, aluminium extruded pipe is an excellent choice. Aluminium seamless tubes are made by hot rolling, cold drawing and forging, then they are cut to length and treated to remove any surface defects, the resulting tubes have a uniform grain structure making them stronger and more resistant to fatigue than extruded tubes. Aluminium seamless tubes are typically used in high pressure applications such as the oil and gas industry where strength and durability are required.

Classification of aluminium tubes by precision:

ordinary aluminium tubes and precision aluminium tubes, of which precision aluminium tubes generally need to be reprocessed after extrusion, such as cold-drawing and fine-drawing, rolling.

Classification of aluminium tubes by thickness:

ordinary aluminium tubes and thin-walled aluminium tubes.

Characteristics of Aluminium Tubes

Aluminium tube is a kind of high-strength hard aluminium, can be strengthened by heat treatment, in the annealed, just quenched and hot state of plasticity is medium, spot welding weldability is good, with gas welding and argon arc welding aluminium tubes have a tendency to form intergranular cracks; aluminium tubes in the quenching and cold hardening of the machinability is still good, in the annealed state of bad. Corrosion resistance is not high, often using anodic oxidation treatment and painting methods or surface plus aluminium cladding to improve corrosion resistance. It can also be used as mould material.

Advantages of Aluminium Tube

Advantages of aluminum tube one—— the welding technology advantage:

Suitable for industrial production of thin-walled copper and aluminium tube welding technology, known as the world-class problem, is the air conditioner connecting tube aluminium instead of copper key technology.

Advantages of aluminum tube two—— is the service life advantage:

From the inner wall of the aluminium tube, the inner wall of the copper-aluminium connection tube will not corrode because the refrigerant does not contain moisture.

Advantages of aluminum tube three——the energy-saving advantage:

The piping connecting the indoor unit of the air conditioner to the outdoor unit, the lower the heat transfer efficiency, the more energy efficient, or the better the insulation, the more energy efficient.

Advantages of aluminum tube four——

excellent bending performance, easy to install and move the machine.

Application of Aluminium Tube

Application of aluminium tube are widely used in various industries and have become ubiquitous in our lives.

Application of Aluminium Tube one

Aluminium tubes and tapes are commonly used in decoration, packaging, construction, transportation, electronics, aviation, aerospace, weapons and other industries.

Application of Aluminium Tube Two

Aerospace aluminium is used in the manufacture of aircraft skins, fuselage frames, beams, rotor blades, propellers, fuel tanks, wall panels and landing gear struts, as well as in the forging of rocket rings and spaceship wall panels.

Application of Aluminium Tube Three

Transport aluminium used in automobiles, underground vehicles, railway buses, high-speed buses, the body of the structural parts of the material, doors and windows, shelves, automotive engines, air conditioners, radiators, body panels, wheels and ships with materials.

Application of Aluminium Tube Four

Aluminium for Packaging All-aluminium cans are mainly used as metal packaging materials in the form of sheet and foil, which are made into cans, lids, bottles, drums and packaging foils. Aluminium cans are widely used for packaging of beverages, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cigarettes, industrial products and so on.

Application of Aluminium Tube Five

Aluminium for printing is important for the manufacture of PS plate, aluminium-based PS plate is a new type of material for the printing industry, for active plate making and printing.
