Aluminum Rectangular Tubing, 6063 



6061 is generally used in structural applications, where 6063 is primarily used in architectural applications. 6063 T-52 is an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. Generally, it has good mechanical properties and is heat treatable and weldable. 6063 is mostly used in extruded shapes for architecture, particularly window frames, door frames, and roofs. It is typically produced with very smooth surfaces fit for anodizing. It displays very good corrosion resistance, medium fatigue strength and good cold formability.
