The invention is directed to a aluminum pipe production method comprising
an extrusion step for obtaining an aluminum raw pipe (10) and a drawing
step for executing a drawing process of the aluminum raw pipe (10).
Before executing the drawing step a slug removing step for removing
aluminum slugs (1) adhering to a surface of the aluminum raw pipe (10) is
executed by rubbing off the aluminum slugs (1). This can provide an
aluminum pipe production method capable of preventing generation of
defect protrusions while improving the productivity.
