Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6063

Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6063 is a rectangular shaped tube. Aluminum 6063 is commonly referred to as the architectural alloy and was developed as an extrusion alloy with relatively high tensile properties, excellent finish characteristics and high corrosion resistance. It is one of the best alloys for anodizing applications, including hard coat anodizing for air cylinder tubes.
