6061 aluminium is an American alloy and one of most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys. The alloy is typically used in heavy duty structures. It is a medium to high strength heat-treatable material with very good corrosion resistance and medium fatigue strength. 6061 in the annealed condition offers excellent weldability and formability and is readily disposed to furnace brazing.
6063 aluminium alloy is often referred to as an High architectural alloy and is used in the production of intricate extrusions. With an aesthetically pleasing finish and high corrosion resistance the alloy is readily suited to welding and can be easily anodised. 6063 aluminium is most commonly supplied as T6 temper. If supplied in the T4 condition the alloy has good formability.
REFINED METALS ALUMINIUM Being the 13 element in the periodic table, aluminium is a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic and ductile +metal. Most widespread metal on Earth, it makes up more than 8% of the Earths core mass. Also, after oxygen and silicon, its the third most common chemical element. Aluminium has 3 main qualities, i.e. light, durable and functional, which make it one of the key engineering materials of our time. We can find aluminium almost everywhere in our lives like in our homes, in the automobiles, trains and aeroplanes, in the mobile phones and computers and in modern interior designs.
