Arotubi Metais
In 1995 Arotubi Metais started producing aluminium extruded tubes introducing in 1997 a new line of drawn process derived products. Nowadays, we serve a large number of industries including kitchen appliances, automotive and mechanical application markets.
Arotubi Metals produces aluminium extruded tubes of different diameters with the following alloys:
Alloy 1070 | Alloy 3000 | Alloy 6063
Diameter from 6 to 46 mm/ minimum thickness of 0,5 mm
Alloy 1070
The alloy 1070 is one of the purest alloys on the market. Designed for kitchen appliances, it presents low mechanical resistance and high elasticity allowing great adaptability.
Product features:
- 99,7% of aluminium in the chemical composition
- Good resistance to corrosion
| Alloy | Temper | Hardness/Resistance | Elasticity | Main applications |
| 1070 | F | very low | High | Kitchen appliances |
Diameter from 6 to 46 mm / minimum thickness 0,5 mm
Alloy 3000
The alloy 3000 presents good mechanical and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make the alloy 3000 suitable for the automotive segment.
Product’s Characteristics:
- Presence of Manganese in the chemical components
| Alloy | Temper | Hardness/Resistancy | Elasticity | Main application |
| 3000/3103/3003 | F | Medium | High | Automotive |
Alloy 6063
Alloy 6063
Alloy 6063 is characterized by high mechanical resistance and low deformation. It is used in various industrial segments and it is recommended for structural tube manufacturing:
- Presence of Magnesium in the chemical composition
- Optimal performance after exposure to anodizing finishing treatment
| Alloy | Temper | Hardness/Resistancy | Elasticity | Main application |
| 6063 | T4 | High | Médium | Structural tubes(equipment, gardening, automotives) |
| T6 | High | Low | Structural tubes, Machined surfaces | |
| T8 | Very High | Low | Structural tubes, Machined surfaces | |
| O | Médium | Medium | Rivet |
Arotubi Metais produces drawn aluminium tubes of different diameters and alloys. The Company runs deep drawn processes using extruded tubes as a raw material.
