Physical and mechanical properties

• Strength: 6063 aluminum extrusions offer sufficient strength for architectural applications, including window and door frames, railing, and furniture.
• Corrosion resistance: Exceptionally high resistance to corrosion allows for its use in environments where other metals would succumb to wear.
• Formability: 6063 aluminum is highly workable, making it ideal for complex extrusions that require intricate shapes and detailed architectural aesthetics.
• Finish quality: Capable of accepting a wide variety of finishes, 6063 aluminum can be anodized to add color, enhance corrosion resistance, or achieve a desired texture.

Applications of 6063 aluminum extrusions

The versatility of 6063 aluminum extrusions is evident in their widespread use across various industries. From the construction of skyscraper frames to the delicate crafting of furniture details, this alloy supports creativity and innovation. Key applications include:

• Architecture: Curtain walls, window frames, doors, and structural tubing for buildings.
• Automotive: Interior and exterior trim, structural components for vehicles.
• Electronics: Heat sinks, enclosures, and frames for electronic devices.
• Recreational equipment: Bicycle frames, camping gear, and sports equipment.

6063 T5 aluminum extrusion: the optimal choice for quality

The "T5" designation in 6063 T5 aluminum extrusion refers to a specific heat treatment process that significantly enhances the material's mechanical properties. This treatment involves cooling the extruded aluminum from the extrusion process and then artificially aging it at room temperature. This method improves the strength of the aluminum without the need for hot working, striking a balance between ease of manufacturing and improved mechanical characteristics.

Choosing 6063 T5 aluminum extrusions is particularly advantageous for projects that demand materials with excellent corrosion resistance and higher mechanical strength than untreated aluminum. At the same time, it maintains good formability and workability. 

This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including architectural profiles, structural components, and any project where durability and aesthetic appearance are crucial.

Whether you are engineering a new building facade or designing the next generation of consumer electronics, our 6063 aluminum extrusions are ready to elevate your project to the next level.
