Telescoping Architectural 6063 Aluminum Round Tubes
- Yield Strength:
0.038" Wall Thick.: 36,000 psi
0.058" Wall Thick.: 35,000 psi - Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: T832
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B483
Sized to fit into the next larger size, use these tubes to create telescoping railings and frames. More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is often used for architectural applications. It is lightweight yet moderately strong and can be machined or formed.

High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Tubes
- Yield Strength: 42,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 120 (Medium)
- Temper: T3
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B210
While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

- Hardness: Brinell 40 (Soft)
- Temper: H14 (1/2 Hard)
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B210
These tubes are sized so that each tube fits into the next larger size. 3003 aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, and general sheet metal work.

Marine-Grade Copper Nickel Tubes
- Yield Strength: 15,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B111, MIL-T-15005
Commonly used in water treatment plants, these tubes withstand salt water and can be used to make shims, ferrules, and washers. Made from an alloy known as cupro nickel, they resist corrosion and stress-cracking from chlorides better than stainless steel. They also resist rusting, withstand humidity, and will not corrode from algae and barnacle build-up. However, these tubes are more likely to develop pits from sulfides than stainless steel. A good choice for cryogenic processing plants, these tubes remain ductile and strong even at freezing temperatures.
Like other copper alloys, these tubes are easy to machine. Spot weld, braze, and solder them to join them with like materials. They conduct electricity and heat, so they are often used in heat exchangers and condensers in HVAC systems and applications where fluids need cooling or heating. When cleaned regularly these tubes resist bacteria, fungi, and viruses, so they can be used in high-touch areas on ships and in healthcare settings.
