Aircraft Grade Aluminum Tubing

Aircraft Aluminum Tubing: Technical Details and Applications

Our aircraft aluminum tubing is designed to meet the highest standards required for the aerospace industry. We offer a wide variety of grades, including 2024, 3003, 5052, 6061, and 7075, each optimized for different applications such as hydraulic systems, structural components, and fuel lines. The tubing can be customized in terms of dimensions and wall thickness to suit specific requirements, and it is available in both seamless and extruded forms. For example, 7075 aluminum tubing is ideal for critical structural parts due to its high strength, while 6061 is known for its corrosion resistance and versatility. In comparison to other materials, aircraft aluminum tubing is lightweight, cost-effective, and has excellent fatigue strength, making it a preferred choice in the aerospace sector.
