What is a hollow aluminium tube?
A hollow aluminium tube is an extruded profile with a continuous cavity (or multiple cavities) running along its length. It's commonly produced as:
- Round tube (cylindrical, sometimes called "pipe" in casual use)
- Square tube (equal-width box section)
- Rectangular tube (rectangular box section)
- Special shapes (oval, triangular, multi-cavity, telescopic sets)
We supply all of the above as OEM / custom extrusions as well as standard sizes, with precision cutting, punching, slotting, brushing, polishing, anodizing, powder coating and woodgrain/thermal-transfer finishes. Our catalog also includes aluminium hollow round tubes and rectangular/box sections as reference solutions for fast quoting.
Why Choose aluminium tubing?
Aluminium combines low weight with high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, clean aesthetics and easily produce(cutting, drilling, welding, machining). These properties make hollow tubes a go-to choice for frameworks, handrails, furniture, greenhouse and solar structures, automotive racks, machine guards, architectural facades, and more. Modern surface finishes (e.g., anodized clear/black/bronze, powder coat RAL colors) further extend durability and appearance outdoors and in marine-adjacent environments.
The aluminum alloys we recommend (and why):
When selecting a tube, picking the right alloy/temper is as important as the shape:
6063 (T5/T6) - the "architectural" workhorse
Best for: Smooth surface quality, tight radii, complex extrusions, visible architectural elements, enclosures, LED frames, furniture, glazing systems.
Why: Excellent extrudability and corrosion resistance, with adequate strength in T5/T6 for frames and mid-load structures.
6061 (T6) - the "structural" favorite
Best for: Higher strength frames, fixtures, jigs, machine bases, vehicle components, trailers, sports structures.
Why: Higher tensile/yield strength and good machinability; slightly less extrudable and cosmetic than 6063 but stronger in like-for-like sections.
Quick tip:
If your design prioritizes surface finish, anodizing quality, and thin walls, choose 6063. If you need more load capacity or frequent machining, consider 6061.
Common tempers: 6063-T5/T6 for architectural/medium-duty use; 6061-T6 for structural. We can also advise on 6005/6005A, 6082, or 7000-series for special requirements.

How we control quality (from billet to box)
- Raw material control - aluminium ingots sourced from Malaysia/Australia; alloyed and cast into bars to spec, avoiding scrap contamination.
- Extrusion matching - choose press tonnage and die/melt parameters to achieve thickness uniformity, tight ovality/straightness, and smooth surfaces.
- Heat treatment - precise quenching and ageing for T5/T6 tempers to achieve the desired strength and hardness windows.
- Surface finishing - automatic anodizing and powder-coating lines; brushing/polishing for cosmetic grades.
- Inspection & testing - size/flatness/ovality checks, coating thickness/adhesion, spectrometry, and salt-spray validation; records available per lot.
Factory strength
Our Vietnam production base was set up in 2019 to expand extrusion capacity and offer duty-optimized supply for Western markets.
- Factory area: ~140,000 m²; 15 extrusion lines from 600–2500T; 500+ employees.
- Lead time: typically 25–35 days for bulk orders at scale.
- End-to-end process: extrusion, cutting, punching, anodizing, powder coating, sandblasting, thermal transfer, brushing, polishing, and more.
- Molds & tooling: 5,000+ sets; local tooling in Vietnam speeds up NPI and replacements.
- Capacity: Up to 4,000–4,500 tons/month at full run rate.
- Quality & compliance: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, BSCI monitoring, in-house laboratory (dimension monitoring, spectrometry), and 72-hr salt spray checks on coatings help ensure stable, export-ready quality.
Why Vietnam origin matters for EU/US/AU/MX/CA buyers
For many aluminium extrusions imported directly from China, buyers face base tariffs and-depending on the product-anti-dumping duties. Sourcing Vietnam-origin aluminium extrusions legally changes the duty outcome thanks to origin rules and trade agreements (e.g., EVFTA, CPTPP, USMCA pathways via Mexico/Canada). Our knowledge article summarizes sample scenarios for HS 761090 / 760429 products:
EU: ~29% combined (7% tariff + 22% ADD) from China vs. 0% from Vietnam- 29% savings.
US: up to 70% from China (Section 232/301 etc.) vs. ~25% from Vietnam with Form B - ~45% savings.
Australia: ~47.9% from China vs. ~9% from Vietnam (AANZFTA + reduced ADD) - ~38.9% savings.
Canada: ~65–95% from China vs. 0% from Vietnam (CPTPP) - up to 95% savings.
These figures are illustrative and depend on correct origin documentation and your product/scope, but they show why many importers switch to Vietnam origin supply to protect margins while staying compliant.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What sizes can you make?
A: We extrude round, square, and rectangular tubes across a wide range of OD/widths and thicknesses, including thin-thickness decorative tubes and thicker structural sections.
Q: Which alloy should I choose-6063 or 6061?
A: Choose 6063 when the surface finish and anodizing quality matter most, or when profiles are thin/complex; pick 6061 when higher strength or heavier machining is the priority. We also offer 6005/6082 and others for special strength/weight targets.
Q: What finishes are available?
A: Mill, brushed, polished (brite), anodized (clear/black/bronze, hard anodize), powder-coated (RAL), woodgrain via thermal transfer. Finish lines are in-house at our Vietnam plant for stable lead times.
Q: What are typical lead times?
A: Standard lead time is ~25–35 days for bulk orders, depending on die development, finishing and fabrication steps. We'll confirm at RFQ along with packing and vessel schedules.
Q: How does Vietnam origin reduce my import costs?
A: Many destinations apply lower tariffs and zero anti-dumping duties to Vietnam-origin aluminium profiles, subject to correct origin proof and product scope. For example, EU ~29% to 0%, US up to 70% to ~25%, AU ~47.9% to ~9%, CA ~65–95% to 0% in the scenarios summarized in our duty article (illustrative only; we will review your HS code and bill of materials).
Q: Can you support OEM/ODM and new tooling?
A: Yes-5,000+ existing molds for fast sampling; local die making in Vietnam for new profiles; production processes include extrusion, cutting, punching, anodizing, powder coating, brushing and polishing under one roof.
Q: What documents do you provide?
A: Material certificates, chemical composition reports, mechanical property tests (as needed), coating test results, origin certificates (e.g., EUR.1, Form B, CPTPP documents) per your market.
Q: Do you offer small MOQs?
A: For stock shapes we can be flexible; for new extrusions, MOQ depends on weight per run and finishing method. Share your target volume and we'll optimize die cavity count and press planning.
