Common Grades
Select from one of the available grades below to get started with your order. Or contact your closest store for custom cut aluminum rectangular tubing.
6061 aluminum rectangular tubing is strong, machinable and weldable (if you add filler with a different chemical composition to avoid hot cracking). This grade is also heat treatable and can be anodized or coated for additional protection, as needed. The most common applications can include transportation, structural pipe and furniture.
6063 aluminum rectangular tubing (also known as the architectural alloy) is lightweight, and offer good corrosion resistance, formability and machinability. These tubes carry a smoother surface than the 6061 variant and are usually found in interior and exterior building structures.
