Extruded Aluminum Tubing

Profile Precision Extrusions is nationally recognized for its expertise in extruded aluminum tubing and shapes. First and foremost is the ability to extrude tube that meets or exceeds the Aluminum Association dimensional requirements for drawn aluminum tube. For example, Profile currently produces 1.00" OD +/-.003" x.700" ID +/-.001" extruded aluminum tubing. The benefits to Profile's customer are reduced machining and the elimination of honing operations.

Profile also extrudes small diameter aluminum tubing in sizes that have up until now been only available in drawn tube form. Round tube and more complex tube shapes are regularly ordered in the 5mm diameter size range. The extrusion process is less costly than the drawn tube process, which requires up to 10 operations to yield a 5mm tube. The bottom line for the customer is a lower cost product and superior dimensional characteristics.

Commercially available extruded aluminum tubing, or drawn aluminum tubing, generally must be purchased in 1000 lb increments. Profile Precision Extrusions flexible manufacturing philosophy allows customers to purchase as little as 10 lbs at a time. Lead times of 3-4 weeks are available, compared to 6-8 weeks for commercially produced tube.

Profile also offers round and square extruded aluminum tubing cut to lengths as short as .500", clear & hard coat anodizing, and tube bending.
