What are the advantages and disadvantages of aluminum tube Tubing?

Aluminium’s benefits make it a modern, efficient and effective material for building and construction .It’s hard to list off all of the advantages that aluminum tube has to offer. The tremendous diversity in aluminum tube alloys has allowed for faster production processes that are more efficient and save money. As the production of aluminum tube has advanced, making it cheaper and more adaptable, it has allowed for breakthroughs that would have seemed impossible just a few years previously.

Flexibility

Aluminium’s combination of properties mean that it can be easily shaped by any of the main industrial metalworking processes, including rolling, extrusion, forging and casting, guaranteeing virtually unlimited design potential.

Light-weight

Aluminium’s light weight makes it cheaper and easier to transport and handle on site.

Strength

The use of aluminium in buildings assists architects meet performance specifications while minimising expenditure on foundations. Alloyed aluminium can be as strong as steel at only a third of the weight.

Durability

Aluminium building products are made from alloys that are weather-proof, corrosion-resistant and immune to the harmful effects of UV rays, ensuring optimal performance over a very long lifetime.

Corrosive Resistance

Aluminium’s natural oxide coating provides an effective protective barrier against elements that wear other metals.

Insular

A layer of insulated aluminium cladding can be four times more effective than uninsulated timber cladding, 100mm of brick, or 200mm of stone masonry.
