It is a hollow tube-shaped structure that is made from aluminum extrusion process. The cylindrical formation is applied in multiple industries.

Two of the most significant qualities of extruded aluminum tube are lightweight and corrosion resistance. Besides, aluminum tube is rated excellent in terms of its conductivity properties and has gained massive respect from manufacturers over time thanks to its durability.

Extruded aluminum tubes have 4 major parts defining them. Assuming cylindrical shapes, Aluminum tubes have an Inner Diameter (ID) and Outer Diameter (OD). The difference between these diameters is the wall thickness. The bigger the difference the thicker the wall thickness. Then, there’s the length of the tube. It determines how long the extruded aluminum tube will be.

The structure of an extruded aluminum tube has a big impact on a lot of things. For instance, formability, rate of elongation and ability to bend are significantly affected by ID/OD and the tube’s thickness.
