Solitaire Overseas is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of extruded finned tubes, known for delivering high-quality products that meet both domestic and international standards.
Extruded finned tubes are created using a bi-metallic design, featuring an aluminum outer core and a parent tube made from various materials. The fins are formed by rolling the aluminum from the exterior tube, creating an integral fin structure. This process involves compressing the aluminum outer core onto the parent tube, exposing it to high pressures that shape the fins into their final profile. These tubes can handle maximum operating temperatures of up to 290°C.
The base tube of our extruded finned tubes can be made from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, corrosion-resistant steel, copper, and copper alloys.
We offer standard sizes including 36 mm, 50.8 mm, and 57 mm for the finned outer diameter, with fin densities ranging from 9 to 11 fins per inch (fpi). Additionally, we provide many special sizes in both single-metal and bi-metal extruded fin tubes to meet specific project requirements.

Extruded Fin Tubes, or Bi-Metallic Fin Tubes, have fins formed by extruding material from the outer surface. The base tube slides inside an outer tube, typically copper or aluminum.
Embedded fins (G-Fins) are created by winding an aluminum or copper strip into a helical groove on the tube's outer surface. In contrast, extruded fins are formed by cold plastic deformation of a bimetallic tube, resulting in an aluminum surface with fins.
Extruded aluminum tubes are made by pressing heated aluminum billets through an extrusion die, shaping them into the desired tube form. This process allows for complex cross-sectional profiles and varying wall thicknesses.
