6063 Aluminium Extrusion Profile

AlMg0.7Si extrusion alloy, T5 / T6

6063 Aluminium Extrusion Profile

6063 is the workhorse extrusion alloy: magnesium and silicon in balance give it good extrudability, a smooth anodised surface and adequate strength in T5 and T6. It is the material behind window and door systems, heat sinks, LED profiles, handrails and light structural sections. We supply standard sections and custom dies, mill finish, anodised or powder coated.

How to choose

Use T5 for straight sections where cost matters and T6 where the section is load-bearing or has to be machined. If the profile is anodised for appearance, say so at enquiry stage — the alloy and the extrusion speed are adjusted for it.

FAQ

Can you extrude to my own drawing?
Yes. Send the section drawing and the annual or per-order tonnage; we quote the die cost, the minimum order per profile and the lead time, and the die is yours to reuse.
What surface finishes are available?
Mill finish, anodised (natural, black, bronze, gold) and powder coated to RAL. Anodising thickness is typically 10–15 µm.
