6063 aluminum vs 6061

6063 Aluminum sheet is widely used in frame construction aluminum doors and windows, curtain walls, in order to ensure the high wind resistance performance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance and decorative properties, the comprehensive performance requirements of the Aluminum Alloy is much higher than the industrial standard. 6063 alloy has lower strength than 6061 alloy, it is with good extrusion, corrosion resistance and good surface treatment. 6063 belongs to low alloying Al-Mg-Si series high plasticity alloy. It has many valuable features.

6063 Aluminum sheet Feature 1. High Anti-wind pressure performance, 2. with assembly performance, 3. with corrosion resistance 4. with decorative performance 5. Good extrusion 6. High-plastic alloy

6063 aluminum is the most common choice for extrusion with its excellent extrudability, high corrosion resistance, and ability to be formed into complex shapes. It is often used for architectural applications because of its nice appearance an acceptable strength.

6061 aluminum sheet alloy is strong, easily machined, and weldable. Aluminum 6061 T6 alloys are doubled the strength of aluminum 6063 alloys. Aluminum 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). In thicknesses of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) or less, it has elongation of 8% or more; in thicker sections, it has elongation of 10%. T651 temper has similar mechanical properties. The famous Pioneer plaque was made of this particular alloy. Order 6061 Aluminum Sheets in 6061 Aluminum in small quantities and no minimums of all Aluminum 6061 at The Metal Store.
