AT061 6061-T5 Aluminum Tube 0.75in X 0.062in

Description

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 crutches to hydraulic systems. 

Aluminum 6063 isn’t as strong as 6061, but it’s significantly more aesthetically pleasing. This is why it’s often used for outward-facing construction, furniture, and fencing. 

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.
