6063-T5 Industrial Aluminum Profile

6063-T5 is the workhorse alloy for extrusion. It flows well, produces a clean surface, holds dimensions and anodizes evenly — suitable for both structural and visible parts.

Dies and sections

Common sections are already in our die library; a new section needs a new die. Before tooling, confirm wall thickness, rib positions and how the profile assembles — once the die is cut, changing the section means cutting a new one.

Secondary operations

Profiles can be cut to length, milled, tapped and bent. Long lengths distort in transit, so packing and supports follow your assembly method.

Process notes

Billet heating, extrusion, quench and T5 ageing, straightening, cut to length, anodizing or sandblasting, inspection.

Applications

Machine frames, safety guards, conveyor rails, automation workbenches, structural supports.
