Hydraulic Cylinders Use 45000psi 6063 T6 Seamless Aluminum Tubing
SPECIFICATIONS ON 6063 T6 Seamless Aluminum Tubing
6063 seamless drawn aluminum tubing is a magnesium and silicon alloyed aluminum tube pipe that is the preferred alloy when welding or brazing is required.
This alloy has good corrosion resistance and formability.
Machining characteristics are good and has excellent appearance after anodizing
Outer Diameter: 1/16" through 10.8"
Wall Thickness: .020 through .375
Shapes: Rounds, squares and rectangles
Features 6063 seamless tube and pipe:
No weld seams, preferred for pressure vessels
More uniform anodizing appearance, especially on heavier wall sections
No weld seams that could split in forming operation
Increased structural integrity
Seamless Tubing Applications
Seamless pipe and tube is typically used for pressure vessels, hydraulic cylinders, compressed gas cylinders, drive shafts, lighting applications and bus conductors.
They are recommended for applications requiring:
Critical pressure ratings
Demanding forming applications
Critical strength requirement
Uniform anodizing appearance
