Aluminium 6061 Tubing

Aluminium 6061 tubing is an incredibly popular choice for many projects due to its corrosion resistance, strength, and lightweight properties. This material is a heat-treatable alloy of metals like magnesium, silicon, and aluminium. Its other components include vanadium, manganese, chromium, titanium, copper, and zinc. It generally has a tensile strength ranging from 21 - 42 kilo Pascal with a yield strength of 11 - 25 kilo Pascal depending on the effort put into making the tube. As it's a strong metal mainly composed of aluminium that doesn't lose much by way of structural integrity when exposed to outside elements such as water or oxygen, it is a superior choice for many applications.

6061 Aluminium tube is one of the most versatile materials, lending itself to various uses and applications. It has excellent corrosion resistance and a good strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it is incredibly strong but also lightweight, making it ideal for transportation or aircraft construction. Additionally, this tubing offers superb weldability and machinability while resistant to stress cracking. Its characteristics make it perfect for structures exposed to salt water or corrosive environments, such as swimming pools or marine vessels. Aluminium 6061-grade tubing can also be used in fencing, architectural applications, signposts and more due to its low maintenance requirements and powerful durability.
