8" OD x 0.5" Wall x 7" ID Aluminum Round Tube 6061-T6-Extruded More Informations
Features: With a thicker wall (0.5 inches), this tube provides greater strength and bending resistance. The T6 heat treatment enhances its mechanical properties, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high load-bearing capacity.
Applications:
- Shipbuilding: Used for hull frames, deck support structures, and other marine components.
- Building Reinforcement: Applied in bridge reinforcement and building framework.
- Heavy Equipment: Suitable for heavy-duty machinery and structural support frames.
Processing: The tube is formed through extrusion and then heat-treated to T6 to enhance its strength. It is ideal for welding and secondary processing.
Aluminum round tubes are mostly made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, which provides excellent strength, corrosion resistance, processing performance and fatigue resistance in the T6 state after heat treatment. The extrusion molding process ensures that each tube has a consistent appearance, precise size and good mechanical properties suitable for various engineering requirements. It is suitable for many fields such as aviation, ships, automobiles, construction, machinery, etc.
