Here is the standard process for manufacturing large aluminum tubes:

  • Raw material in the form of aluminum billets arrives at our plant
  • The billets are cut according to the desired length
  • The aluminum billets are preheated to the specified temperature for the extrusion die
  • At least 100,000 PSI is applied to push the billet through the extrusion die
  • The extruded large aluminum tube is cooled, stretched, and cut to a specified length
  • Heat hardening follows to enhance corrosion resistance, strength, and durability
