CHOOSING THE RIGHT EXTRUSION FOR YOUR PROJECT

Extruded aluminum is an essential material across various industries, from construction and interior design to mechanical manufacturing. Among popular extrusion alloys, 6063-T5 and 6060-T6 are widely favored due to their outstanding features and versatile applications. However, each alloy has its own strengths and weaknesses, fitting different technical and design requirements.

1. Composition and Strength
6063-T5 aluminum contains a higher magnesium content, which facilitates extrusion and results in a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface. It is suitable for applications requiring good appearance, such as window frames, partitions, and railings. Meanwhile, 6060-T6 offers higher mechanical strength, ideal for load-bearing structures like frameworks, prefabricated buildings, or technical parts demanding durability.

2. Workability and Finishing
6063-T5 excels in bending, cutting, and welding, with surfaces easily anodized or painted, making it widely used for decorative and interior components. In contrast, 6060-T6 is harder, making machining slightly more challenging but offering optimal durability for technical applications.

3. Typical Applications
6063-T5: window frames, room partitions, stair railings, industrial and residential interiors.

6060-T6: load-bearing structures, lighting fixtures, prefabricated buildings, mechanical parts requiring high strength.

Choosing the right extrusion alloy not only saves costs but also ensures quality and durability for your projects or products. If aesthetics and workability are priorities, 6063-T5 is ideal. For strength and load-bearing capacity, 6060-T6 is the better solution.
