Dimensionsand thickness

Outer diameter (OD): 6061 aluminum tubes are typically available with diameters ranging from 6mm to 400mm, suitable for various applications.

Wall thickness:Thickness can range from 1mm to 50mm, depending on the specific requirements of each project. Length: The standard length of 6061 aluminum tubes is usually from 3m to 6m, and can be cut to the specific requirements of the customer.

Standard specifications:

• T5: Aluminum tubes are cooled from the forming temperature and then heated to achieve a certain hardness.
• T6: Aluminum tubes are cooled from the forming temperature, then undergo heat treatment to achieve maximum hardness and strength.
