Sleek Structural Elliptical Aluminum Pipes

Overview

Redefine architectural and mechanical designs with our Sleek Structural Elliptical Aluminum Pipes, featuring a modern elliptical cross-section for enhanced strength-to-weight ratio and aesthetic appeal. Crafted from 6061-T6/5052-H32 aluminum, these seamless pipes offer superior load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and customizable finishes, ideal for high-end architecture, automotive components, and industrial frameworks.

Features

Elliptical Geometry Advantages

Structural Design: Elliptical shape (aspect ratio 2:1) increases moment of inertia by 30% compared to round pipes, supporting 25% higher bending loads (calculated per EN 1999-1-1).

Aesthetic Appeal: Smooth, aerodynamic profile (surface Ra ≤3.2μm) with optional mirror polish (Ra ≤0.4μm), enhancing visual appeal in architectural and consumer products.

Material & Surface Performance

Alloy Options:

6061-T6 (yield 276 MPa): High-strength for structural applications (e.g., bridge supports, conveyor frames).

5052-H32 (elongation 20%): Marine-grade alloy for coastal environments (salt spray 2000h, ASTM B117).

Finish Options:

White powder coating (70μm, RAL 9010): UV-stabilized for outdoor use (ΔE ≤3 after 5000h Xenon test).

Anodised clear (15μm): Showcases natural aluminum texture for minimalist designs.

Precision Manufacturing

Seamless Extrusion: Produced via cold extrusion for uniform grain flow, achieving elongation ≥15% and fatigue life (10^7 cycles at 80 MPa).

Dimensional Accuracy: Major axis tolerance ±0.2mm, minor axis ±0.1mm (ISO 2768-1 fine class), ensuring precise fit in pre-fabricated structures.

Installation Flexibility

Modular Connections: Pre-drilled slots (10mm spacing) and compatible with standard connectors (e.g., Kepla, Hawa), reducing assembly time by 40% compared to custom fittings.

Weight Efficiency: 40% lighter than steel elliptical pipes, ideal for applications requiring both strength and reduced structural load (e.g., drone frames, exhibition booths).

Application

Architectural Design: Decorative columns, atrium supports, and skylight frames in commercial buildings, compliant with LEED v4 for sustainable materials (recycled content ≥70%).

Automotive Components: Lightweight frames for EV battery enclosures and racing car subframes, improving energy efficiency and crash performance (FMVSS 208 compliant).

Industrial Machinery: Support structures for robotic arms and precision equipment, with elliptical shape minimizing wind resistance in outdoor installations.
