Aluminum extruded tubing is a hollow aluminum product created by applying pressure forces to heated aluminum billets or logs through a metal die. Aluminum is the best all around extrusion metal due to its unique combination properties. Aluminum extruded tubing is specifically known for being heavy-duty and very strong but still flexible enough to withstand wind.
Due to its flexibility, strength, and low weight, aluminum extruded tubing is very versatile. Conventional equipment can readily form or bend extruded aluminum tubing to the necessary shape. Aluminum extruded tubing also has high electrical conductivity and is a good heat conductor and reflector, making it ideal for heat transfer and heat shield applications. Because aluminum is so readily available, aluminum extruded tubing is also quite inexpensive.
