Product Overview
An extruded finned tube is a type of heat exchanger tube where fins are mechanically bonded to the outer surface of a base tube through an extrusion process. This design significantly increases the tube's surface area, improving heat transfer efficiency in applications involving air or gas cooling/heating.
Manufacturing Process
Base Tube Selection: Typically made of carbon steel (e.g., ASTM A179), stainless steel, or other alloys.
Fin Material: Common choices include Aluminum 1060 (Al1060) for lightweight and corrosion resistance.
Extrusion Process: The pressure and rotation mechanically bond the fin to the tube, creating a seamless, high-strength connection without soldering or welding.
Key Features
Strong Bond: The fins are integrally attached, reducing the risk of loosening under thermal cycling
High Heat Transfer Efficiency: More surface area = better heat exchange
Lightweight (if aluminum fins are used)
Corrosion-Resistant (if aluminum or stainless steel is used)

Advantages Over Other Types
Better heat transfer than wrapped or L-footed fins
More durable than bonded fins (no adhesive failure risk)
Suitable for high-temperature cycling (unlike soldered fins)
Cold-drawn seamless tubes: Improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy
High ductility (≥35% elongation) for bending/flaring without cracking
Moderate strength: Suitable for low/medium-pressure heat exchangers
Good thermal conductivity
Corrosion resistance in certain environments
Suitable for moderate-temperature applications (e.g., boilers, condensers, heat exchangers)
