Square tubes have numerous different uses and are suited for a variety of different applications. Aluminum is a popular material choice for a few different reasons. The material is cheaper than many alternatives such as stainless steel while maintaining a good strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum is generally highly resistant to corrosion, allowing it to be used in places that would degrade other materials. When picking an aluminum alloy, be sure to match the alloy’s strengths and weaknesses with the task.

Common uses for square tubes include fittings, machine components, structural components, marine equipment, drive shafts, couplings, and signs.

6061 is one of the most widely-used aluminum alloys because of its versatility. It is made by mixing aluminum with magnesium and silicon. It has good strength and durability and is regarded as one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys on the market today. It has very good mechanical properties and can be machined or welded without difficulty. 6061 square tubes are used in airplane parts, automobiles, furniture, household appliances, couplings, and structural components.

6063 is another commonly used aluminum alloy that is very similar to 6061. It has good strength and durability and is extremely resistant to corrosion, which makes it suitable for different damaging environments. It can be machined or welded. 6063 is commonly used in architectural or structural components, industrial parts, household appliances, and furniture.
