What is a square tube?
Square tube is another name for a square tube, which is a steel tube with equal sides. It is made of steel strips after processing. Square tubes can be made of various materials such as iron square tubes and aluminum square tubes. They are widely used in machinery, chemicals, automobiles, ships, textile machinery, construction and other industries.
What is an aluminum alloy square tube?
Aluminum alloy square tubes are made of aluminum alloy plates or strips that meet the requirements as raw materials, cut into suitable sizes, and processed into the required square tube shape through extrusion, stretching and other processes.
Marine aluminum square tubes are usually made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys. Common alloy grades include 5083, 5086, 6061, 6063, etc. These alloys have excellent corrosion resistance and welding properties and are suitable for use in the marine and shipbuilding industries.

Aluminum alloy square tube performance characteristics:
1. Lightweight: Aluminum alloy is light in weight, reduces the total weight of the hull, and improves speed and fuel efficiency.
2. Corrosion resistance: It has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for long-term use in high-salinity marine environments.
3. Formability: It is easy to process and can be made into a variety of shapes through processes such as extrusion and welding.
4. Strength and rigidity: Alloyed aluminum has high strength and rigidity to ensure the stability of the ship structure.
Marine aluminum square tubes are widely used in shipbuilding, mainly including:
1. Hull structure: used as supporting structures such as beams, longitudinal beams and deck brackets, and the lightweight characteristics reduce the weight of the hull.
2. Internal and external decoration: commonly used in cabin walls, ceilings and external decorative frames, with strong corrosion resistance.
3. Deck and passage: make decks, passages and stairs, light weight and anti-slip properties are suitable for high load use.
4. Cabin partitions and furniture: used for partitions and furniture structures to meet space and aesthetic requirements.
5. Equipment and pipe brackets: support mechanical equipment and piping systems, corrosion resistance is suitable for seawater environment.
6. Lifesaving equipment: used for lifeboat racks and support racks to ensure lightness and durability.
