What Is an Aluminum Pipe?
An aluminum pipe refers to tubular materials made from aluminum or aluminum alloys, used for a variety of purposes depending on the material composition. The following are some representative materials:
1070 Alloy:
Known for excellent workability, surface finish, and corrosion resistance, it is used in heat exchangers, decorative items, piping, and copier drums.
2014 Alloy:
A heat-treatable alloy with superior strength, it is used in structural components of aircraft and automobiles.
3003 Alloy:
With strength about 10% higher than pure aluminum, it offers excellent workability and corrosion resistance and is used in heat exchangers for automobiles and home appliances.
4032 Alloy:
Characterized by wear resistance and high strength, it is also suitable for forged products.
5052 Alloy:
A work-hardening alloy, it has excellent corrosion resistance, surface finish, and weldability, making it a versatile material used in office equipment, ships, vehicles, and more.
6061 Alloy:
A medium-strength, heat-treatable alloy known for good workability and surface finish, it is used in conductive components, structural materials, cylinders, office equipment, vehicles, and piping.
