Aluminum 6063-T5

Material type: Metal, Corrosion resistance, Non-magnetic

Aluminum alloy 6063-T5 combines moderate strength, good plasticity, corrosion resistance and processing efficiency, making it an ideal choice for architectural and industrial profiles.

Process compatibility

CNC Milling CNC Turning

Material Color

Silver white

Material advantages

It has excellent plasticity, moderate strength, outstanding corrosion resistance and surface decorative properties. It is a commonly used medium-strength aluminum alloy material in the fields of construction, industry and electronics.

Material shortcomings

Unable to withstand heavy loads and high rigidity structures, the CNC machining is generally poor, and the thread durability is limited.

Recommended description

6063-T5 offers excellent extrudability, superior anodizing appearance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. With low residual stress and ease of machining without deformation, it is ideal for lightweight frames and heat-dissipating conductive components requiring high aesthetic standards. Available in a wide range of standard profiles with fast delivery times.
