General Properties and Applications
Due to its natural lightweight and heat–conducting properties, aluminum tubing is used in a variety of applications. This makes it a common pick for everything from mobility tools like wheelchairs to the construction of refrigerators.
Aluminum 6061 is especially strong, generally more so than 6063, but is less aesthetically pleasing. This is why it’s often used for internal workings in the construction of items, transportation, and tools.
When determining the right dimensions for your project, an aluminum tube is measured from the inside nominal diameter and then the thickness of the wall (also known as schedule).
Aluminum itself is a lightweight and conductive metal that is non-toxic and does not affect the taste of food or drink. It’s often used in a range of decorative and functional applications. Aluminum is commonly alloyed with copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, and zinc for further hardness and durability.
Principal Uses:
