About Aluminium 6063 Alloy
What is Aluminium 6063 Alloy?
Aluminum alloys are widely used in various industries due to their unique properties such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
Aluminium alloy 6063 is a medium strength alloy commonly referred to as an architectural alloy. It is normally used in intricate extrusions.
It has a good surface finish, high corrosion resistance, is readily suited to welding and can be easily anodised. Most commonly available as T6 temper, in the T4 condition it has good formability.
6063 aluminum alloy is often used in applications such as railing, frames, shop fittings, irrigation tubing, building products, electrical, marine, piping systems, recreation equipment, storage tanks, truck frames & trailers.
This alloy is often extruded in tubing and channels for use in architectural projects.
