HXTRA™ is available in two major formats with different applications:
HXTRA™ ML - Multi-Layer aluminium tube family
- Corrosion resistance enhancement
- Braze clad
- Combinations of above features
HXTRA™ HS - High Strength aluminium tube
- Heat treatable and non-heat treatable alloys
HXTRA™ ML presents enhanced tube performance by combining different aluminium alloys in a sandwich construction tube. It provides hence benefits of several aluminium alloys which are combined in one tube.
For example a high strength tube core can be combined with specialist alloys for:
- Corrosion protection
- Erosion protection
- Brazing/Joining
- Diffusion barriers to allow high strength alloys that are not normally brazeable to be brazed
- Surface finishing and coating
Size range :
OD 35 mm – 5 mm
Wall thickness 1.6 mm – 0.3 mm (subject to OD)
