Square aluminum tubes are available in various grades, each tailored for specific applications:
6061-T6 Aluminum: Known for its excellent structural strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. It is the go-to choice for heavy-duty structural applications, frames, and machinery parts.
6063-T5/T6 Aluminum: Features a smoother surface finish and high corrosion resistance. It is highly responsive to anodizing and is commonly used for architectural, ornamental, and outdoor equipment frameworks.
To calculate the weight of a square aluminum tube, you can use the following standard formula:
Where:
OD = Outside Diameter (Width/Height in mm)
WT = Wall Thickness (in mm)
2.7 = Density of aluminum ($\text{g/cm}^3$)
Note: For quick estimations, you can also use our online Aluminum Weight Calculator or contact our sales team for an instant quote based on your specific dimensions.
Thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratio, square aluminum tubes are widely utilized across multiple industries, including:
Industrial Equipment: Machine frames, conveyor systems, automation guardrails, and support structures.
Aerospace & Automotive: Lightweight chassis, brackets, and internal structural components.
Medical Equipment: Hospital bed frames, wheelchair components, and diagnostic equipment housing.
Outdoor & Marine Gear: Boat railings, solar panel mounting racks, and camping equipment.
Yes, aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that resists rust. However, for harsh outdoor environments, marine applications, or high-moisture industrial settings, we strongly recommend Anodized or Powder-Coated square aluminum tubes. These surface treatments significantly enhance wear resistance and prevent oxidation over decades.
Welding: Yes. 6061 and 6063 alloys are highly weldable using TIG or MIG welding methods. However, note that welding can reduce the heat-treated strength ($T5/T6$ temper) near the weld zone.
Bending: While square tubes can be bent using specialized rotary draw benders, thin-walled tubes or harder tempers (like T6) may wrinkle or crack. If your project requires tight bends, please consult our engineering team for the right temper selection.
Absolutely. We provide a full suite of custom fabrication services to save you time and production costs:
Precision Cutting-to-Length: Tolerances down to $\pm0.5\text{mm}$.
CNC Machining: Hole drilling, slotting, tapping, and custom milling based on your CAD drawings.
Surface Finishing: Clear/color anodizing, powder coating, brushing, and sandblasting.
We stock a massive inventory of metric and imperial sizes. Standard widths range from 10mm x 10mm up to 200mm x 200mm (or $0.5" \times 0.5"$ to $8" \times 8"$), with wall thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 10mm. Custom extruded profiles can also be engineered to meet your exact proprietary blueprints.
In-Stock Sizes: No minimum order quantity; you can buy exactly what you need.
Custom Extrusions/New Molds: Typically requires a minimum order of 500 kg to 1 ton, depending on the complexity and cross-section of the profile.
