Aluminum tubes are used in a variety of industries and hobbyists, in a variety of DIY projects and in the manufacturing and construction fields. In addition, it is widely used in the aerospace industry.
Aluminum tubes are widely used in the aerospace industry because of their high strength, good solderability and easy processing. Most all-aluminum tubes can be brazed and welded for all types of welding.
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are the most commonly used metals in the aerospace industry for a variety of reasons. Its low cost, light weight and good processing performance are the main reasons for its wide application.
Aluminum has no spark, no magnetic, no electric, no thermal conductivity, strong chemical resistance and other excellent physical properties. In addition to the aircraft industry, it is also popular for construction and Marine applications because it is easy to manufacture, non-toxic, strong and resistant to corrosion in industrial and Marine environments.
Anodized aluminum can improve its corrosion resistance and obtain a rainbow finish of various colors. Because some alloys are slightly corrosive, a thin layer of aluminum is placed over the surface of the alloy to provide additional protection.
