At Preferred Alloys Sdn Bhd, we understand that the integrity of your project hinges on the quality of its components. That's why we proudly present our comprehensive range of high-performance Aluminium Seamless Tubes, engineered to meet the most demanding specifications across critical industries. Our seamless tubes are not just products; they are the result of meticulous manufacturing, designed to deliver unparalleled strength, precision, and longevity for your most vital applications.
Unlike extruded tubes, seamless tubes offer superior uniform wall thickness, exceptional burst strength, and a smoother internal and external finish, making them the preferred choice for fluid transfer, pressure systems, and structural integrity where reliability is non-negotiable. From the stratospheric demands of aerospace to the corrosive challenges of marine environments, our tubes provide the lightweight strength and exactitude your designs require. We stock an extensive inventory in a variety of dimensions and tempers, ensuring that you find the precise solution for your unique project needs.
Our Aluminium Seamless Tubes are the silent workhorses behind countless innovations, providing critical functionality across a spectrum of industries. In aerospace, their high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance are paramount for aircraft frames, hydraulic lines, and instrumentation. For fittings and valves, the smooth bore and consistent dimensions ensure leak-proof connections and precise fluid control. Drive shafts and couplings benefit from their torsional strength and vibration dampening properties. In structural applications and for signs, their excellent workability, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance make them a reliable choice. Furthermore, their inherent resistance to saltwater corrosion makes them ideal for demanding marine applications.
Preferred Alloys Sdn Bhd offers Aluminium Seamless Tubes in a curated selection of premier alloys, each chosen for its distinct mechanical properties and suitability for specific applications. Our range includes the high-strength aerospace alloys like 2017, 2024, and 7075, renowned for their incredible strength-to-weight ratio. For general engineering and structural applications, the highly versatile 6061 and 6082 alloys offer an excellent balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance.
To further optimize performance, our tubes are available in various tempers, denoting specific heat treatments that enhance mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness.
| Alloy Code | Primary Characteristics | Common Applications | Available Tempers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | High strength, good machinability | Fittings, fasteners, structural parts | T3, T4, T4511 |
| 2024 | Very high strength, good fatigue resistance | Aerospace structures, truck wheels, screw machine products | T3, T3511, T4, T4511 |
| 6061 | Good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, weldable | General fabrication, structural components, marine, industrial | T4, T6, T6511 |
| 6082 | Higher strength than 6061, very good corrosion resistance | Offshore structures, highly stressed components, trusses | T4, T6, T6511 |
| 7075 | Highest strength in common alloys, good fatigue properties | Aircraft structures, high-stress components, sporting goods | T6, T73 |
We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive range of dimensions to cater to diverse project requirements, ensuring you never have to compromise on your design.

More Information
The 6061 aluminium pipe is a heat treated aluminium that has been fused with silicon and magnesium. This product is widely used for various types of applications in many different industries. This grade of alloy can be easily welded and machined. It has a 90% machinability rating and has a high finish once completed. Cold working can be easily performed when 6061 aluminiums are in the annealed condition. At this point, standard methods of cold working be used for deep drawing, tapping, cutting, drilling, bending and stamping.
The common applications that the 6061 aluminium alloy is used for include jigs, machine parts, marine components, fasteners, truck components, appliance fittings, camera lens mounts and electrical fittings. For heavy duty structures that need high corrosion resistance and a good strength-to-weight ratio, 6061 aluminiums can be used for this purpose.
Forging can be used for this product, which is recommended to be done at temperatures sitting between 750 and 900 degrees F. Hot working should be done using a temperature between 500 and 700 degrees F. When solution heat treating is needed, it can be done continuously at 990 degrees F, thoroughly heating the metal. Water quenching should be done afterward. In order to harden this metal, 320 degrees F should be used continuously for 18 hours, then air cooling should follow. Then another eight hours of 350 degrees F, followed by air cooling.
Annealing is sometimes needed, which is recommended to be done continuously at 775 degrees F for two to three hours. A controlled dropping of the temperature should be applied, dropping 50 degrees F each hour until 500 degrees F is reached, then followed by air cooling.
The 6061 aluminium pipe is available in outside diameters between .5 and 4 inches round with various inside diameters. Length is up to 240 inches.
