6061 Aluminum Tube Alloy Introduction

6061 aluminum tube, including square tubes and round tubes and so on, AL-Mg alloy is the most widely used rust proof aluminum, which has high strength, especially fatigue resistance: high plasticity and corrosion resistance, cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, good plasticity during semi cold work hardening, low plasticity during cold work hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability, and can be polished. The main use is for low load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability, working in liquid or gas media, such as oil tanks, gasoline or lubricant conduits, various liquid containers, and other low load parts made by deep drawing: wire is used to make rivets.

The Most Common Welding Methods For Aluminum Tubes

The most common welding methods for aluminum tubes are gas shielded metal welding and oxyacetylene gas welding. These methods are widely used due to their effectiveness and practicality.

Molten polar gas shielded welding is a commonly used welding method that uses argon or argon/helium mixture as a shielding gas to effectively prevent oxidation during the welding process. Before welding, the oxide film and oil contamination on the surface of the welded parts and welding wire should be strictly removed to ensure the welding quality. This method is suitable for welding various aluminum alloy materials and has high stability and efficiency.

Oxyacetylene welding is a traditional welding method that uses an oxyacetylene flame to heat aluminum tubes and add welding rods at appropriate times. This method requires experienced operators because aluminum has a low melting point and there is no significant color change before melting. It depends on experience and skills to determine the welding time. Oxyacetylene welding is suitable for welding certain special materials or special parts.

The Comparison Between 5083 Alloy And 6061

The comparison between 5083 and 6061 is relatively obvious:

1. After heat treatment (T6), 6061 alloy reaches medium strength, and its strength is higher than that of 5083 material;

2. The material of aluminum 6061-T651 is easier to process than 5083 and other 5 series alloys. Shows its better machining performance when machining with single-point or multi-axis diamond tools;

3. 6061 alloy has excellent surface treatment and anodizing characteristics, and the effect of hard oxidation is slightly better than that of 5083 and other 5 series materials;

4.6061 also has a certain corrosion resistance, and the corrosion resistance will not decrease when exposed to the air, but it is not as strong as 5083

The Wall Thickness of Aluminum Tube

The wall thickness of aluminum tubes may vary depending on the outer diameter. For example, an aluminum tube with an outer diameter of 6mm has a wall thickness of about 1mm; The wall thickness of an aluminium tube with an outer diameter of 30mm can be between 2mm and 3mm. In addition, aluminum pipes have a wide range of wall thicknesses, typically from 1mm to 10mm, and can also have larger or smaller wall thickness specifications. ‌

For thin-walled aluminium pipes, which are characterized by relatively thin wall thicknesses, they are typically used in specific application scenarios such as sprinkler systems. The wall of thin-walled aluminum tubes can be bent inwards into small circles or galvanized into a double-layer structure to meet their specific usage requirements. The choice of wall thickness of aluminum pipe should be determined based on specific application requirements and environmental conditions to ensure material performance and safety during use.

Comparative advantages of seamless aluminum tubes

Compared with other metal pipes such as steel pipes, copper pipes, and plastic pipes, seamless aluminum pipes have the following obvious comparative advantages:

1. High strength and stiffness: Seamless aluminum tubes have high strength and stiffness, can withstand greater pressure and load, and are not easily cracked or deformed.

2. Lightweight: Seamless aluminum tube is a lightweight material that is about 1/3 lighter than steel tube and about 2/3 lighter than copper tube. This makes installation and transportation more convenient, and reduces labor and transportation costs.

3. Corrosion resistance: Seamless aluminum tubes have good corrosion resistance and can resist the corrosion of chemicals such as acid, alkali, salt, etc., thereby extending their service life.

4. Good thermal conductivity: Seamless aluminum tube is an excellent thermal conductive material that can quickly transfer heat and improve energy efficiency.

5. Convenient processing: Seamless aluminum tubes have good machinability and can be processed through cutting, bending, welding, and connection techniques, making it easy to produce various components.
