Brief Introduction Of 6063 aluminum alloy :
Alloy 6063, one of the most popular alloys in the 6000 series, provides good extrudability and a high quality surface finish.
ZYTC produces 6063 for use in standard architectural shapes, custom solid shapes and heatsinks, as well as seamless and structural tube and pipe. This alloy is often used for electrical applications in the -T5, -T52 and -T6 conditions due to its good electrical conductivity. In the heat-treated condition, alloy 6063 provides good resistance to general corrosion, including resistance to stress corrosion cracking. It is easily welded or brazed by various commercial methods (caution: direct contact by dissimilar metals can cause galvanic corrosion). Since 6063 is a heat-treatable alloy, strength in its -T6 condition can be reduced in the weld region. Selection of an appropriate filler alloy will depend on the desired weld characteristics. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for proper safety and handling precautions when using alloy 6063.
Alloy 6063 offers excellent response for anodizing in its -T5, -T52, -T6 tempers.
Since 6063 is the alloy of choice for aesthetic applications, special packaging may be required to protect critical exposed
surfaces. Alloy 6063 is not typically ink-stenciled in order to preserve its surface finish quality. If stenciling and/or special
packaging is required, it should be specified at the time of quotation.
ZYTC offers alloy 6063 in a variety of standard tempers, as well as special tempers developed for unique applications.
