    6063 - T6 Extrusions

    SPECIFICATIONS CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

    Commercial 6063 BS EN 573-3: 2009


    Alloy 6063
    EN 6063
    Element % Present
    Magnesium (Mg) 0.45 - 0.90
    Aluminium Alloy 6063
    Silicon (Si) 0.20 - 0.60
    Aluminium alloy 6063 is a medium strength alloy
    commonly referred to as an architectural alloy. It is Iron (Fe) 0.0 - 0.35
    normally used in intricate extrusions.
    Others (Total) 0.0 - 0.15
    It has a good surface finish, high corrosion resistance,
    is readily suited to welding and can be easily anodised. Chromium (Cr) 0.0 - 0.10
    Most commonly available as T6 temper, in the T4 Copper (Cu) 0.0 - 0.10
    condition it has good formability.
    Titanium (Ti) 0.0 - 0.10
    Applications Manganese (Mn) 0.0 - 0.10
    6063 is typically used in:
    Architectural applications Zinc (Zn) 0.0 - 0.10
    Extrusions Other (Each) 0.0 - 0.05
    Window frames
    Aluminium (Al) Balance
    Doors
    Shop fittings
    Irrigation tubing
    In balustrading the rails and posts are normally in the ALLOY DESIGNATIONS
    T6 temper and formed elbows and bends are T4. T4
    Aluminium alloy 6063/6063A corresponds to the
    temper 6063 aluminium is also finding applications in
    following standard designations and specifications but
    hydroformed tube for chassis.
    may not be a direct equivalent:
    AA6063
    Aluminium Alloy 6063A
    Al Mg0.7Si
    Aluminium alloy 6063A is a variation of 6063 with
    GS10
    greater strength but retains the same good surface
    finish qualities and affinity for anodising. AlMgSi0.5
    A-GS
    Applications 3.32206
    6063A is used in the same applications as 6063. It is ASTM B210
    also used in: ASTM B221
    Road transport ASTM B241 (Pipe- Seamless)
    Rail transport ASTM B345 (Pipe- Seamless)

    WELDABILITY
    Alloy 6063 is suitable for all conventional welding
    methods.
    Welding wire generally should be alloy 5183 or alloy
    4043.
    When maximum electrical conductivity is required use
    alloy 4043.
    For strength and conductivity use alloy 5346 and
    increase the size of the weld to compensate for the
    lower conductivity.

    Weldability – Gas: Good


    Weldability – Arc: Very Good
    Weldability – Resistance: Good
    Brazability: Very Good
    Solderability: Good

    FABRICATION
    Workability - Cold: Average (Acceptable)
    Machinability: Good
