Family: Aluminum Alloy
Magnesium-Silicon Alloy (Al-Mg-Si). AA designation 6063.
Overview
The premier architectural aluminium alloy, AA 6063 carries 0.45–0.9% magnesium and 0.2–0.6% silicon and is formulated for a smooth anodised finish and superior extrudability of complex hollow sections. It provides moderate strength in the T5 or T6 temper with outstanding corrosion resistance in the atmosphere. These qualities make it dominant in window frames, curtain-wall systems, door frames, irrigation tubing, and decorative trim.
