Why Use Aluminum for Tubing?

Aluminum is a metal that makes sense in many situations, particularly for extruded products such as tubing. Aluminum is among the lightest metals commonly used in industries throughout the world, particularly structural metals. Yet despite its light weight, aluminum is surprisingly strong, and while it’s generally beaten out by metals like steel and bronze for sheer strength, its malleability makes it perfect for formed products like tubing and other extruded items.

In addition to its light weight and malleability, aluminum is also corrosion resistant and quite conductive. Finally, aluminum takes well to a wide variety of finishes, including both mirror and satin finishes. This means aluminum can easily achieve the exact right look for a given space.

Industries and Use Cases

Polished aluminum tubing is commonly used in many industries worldwide. As aluminum is an extremely versatile material with excellent malleability and forming characteristics, aluminum tubing may be used in projects as varied as architecture, machinery, artwork, and more. Some of the use cases we regularly see include:

Architecture and Design – Tubes may be seen in architectural and construction projects as structural supports, including for columns and beams. However, aluminum’s light weight and ability to hold a high mirror polish makes it perfect for decorative elements, including both exterior and interior design features.
Hydraulics and Machinery – Tubes of all metals are commonly used in hydraulic systems and as key structural components of machinery. With its lightweight properties, aluminum is particularly effective in machinery and manufactured goods where weight may be a concern.
Food Production & Service – Various products and finishes of aluminum are often used in both the food service industry (i.e. restaurants) as well as in distilleries and wineries.

“Polished Metals has been a Preferred Vendor of ours for over a decade. Our corporate philosophy dictates that we have Alternate or Secondary Supplier for all product, with the exception of #8 Mirror Polished Stainless Steel. We’ve tried to qualify other suppliers to no avail, as none of them can compete in any of the critical categories. The Customer Support provided by Bob Gunther cannot be replicated, pricing is fair, delivery is always on-time and quality is fantastic. As the Corporate Purchasing Manager for the last 7 years, not once have I had a negative experience with Polished Metals. I can’t say enough good things about them.”
