Description
The High-Quality Aluminium Tube 38.1 mm × 6.3 mm (1-1/2″ × 1/4″ wall thickness) is a heavy-wall alloy profile engineered for strength, reliability, and long-term durability. Crafted from premium 6063-T6 aluminium, it delivers outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent load-bearing capacity, and a smooth finish, making it a trusted material for construction frameworks, industrial fabrication, and repair projects.
With its thick 6.3 mm wall, this tube provides exceptional rigidity for demanding builds, while still being lighter and easier to handle than steel alternatives. It is highly fabrication-friendly, allowing for easy cutting, drilling, welding, and machining, making it the ideal choice for both professional contractors and DIY users.
