Aluminum 6063

Grade Summary:  Aluminum 6063 is commonly referred to as the architectural alloy. Developed as an extrusion alloy with relatively high tensile properties, excellent finish characteristics and high corrosion resistance. It is one of the best suited alloys for  anodizing applications including hard coat anodizing for air cylinder tubes.

Typical Applications: 

• Moldings and extruded trim for stores and homes both interior and exterior
• Construction tube
• Lawn furniture
• Luggage racks
• Air cylinders
• Used extensively for anodized parts.

Available products:

• Flat Bar
• Channel
• Angle
• Pipe
• Round Tube
• Square Tube
• Rectangular Tube

Typical Chemical Analysis:
