When it comes to aluminum tubes, we are familiar with it. It is actually aluminum alloy tubes, because the aluminum tubes made of pure aluminum are very soft and almost useless.
Compared with steel pipe, aluminum alloy pipe is lighter and more deformable, and can be bent. And the aluminum pipe is also very corrosion resistant. Today we will introduce the types of aluminum tubes.
There are many kinds of aluminum tubes due to their excellent forming performance. When we talk about pipes, we usually think of round pipes, which are also widely used products in pipes. In addition to round tubes, aluminum tubes also include square tubes, rectangular tubes, elliptical tubes, special-shaped tubes, etc. All aluminum tubes are extruded through molds, as long as there are molds to make patterns of aluminum tubes.
There is also a special kind of aluminum pipe, called seamless aluminum pipe, which is not extruded by ordinary mold, but is produced by piercing extrusion. This kind of aluminum pipe is difficult to produce, high in price, and has no welding line. This kind of aluminum pipe is suitable for bending and other special processes.
