Where to Buy AA 6063 Aluminum Alloy

Description

AA 6063 is the premier architectural aluminum alloy containing 0.45–0.9% magnesium and 0.2–0.6% silicon, formulated for smooth surface finish after anodizing and superior extrudability for complex hollow sections. It offers moderate strength in T5 or T6 temper with outstanding corrosion resistance in atmospheric environments. The alloy dominates architectural window frames, curtain wall systems, door frames, irrigation tubing, and decorative trim applications.
