6063 aluminum is a popular alloy in the 6xxx series of aluminum alloys. It is mainly used in extrusion and construction applications due to its excellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. While 6063 is more commonly available in extruded form, it is also available in coil form for specific applications.
6063 Aluminum Coil Characteristics
- Strength: 6063 aluminum coil has good strength, especially compared with 1xxx and 3xxx series aluminum alloys. However, it is not as strong as some other 6xxx series alloys (such as 6061).
- Corrosion resistance: It has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for outdoor applications.
- Machinability: 6063 is easy to machine and is a good choice for extrusion.
- Weldability: Welding can be done using various methods, but its strength will be affected by the welding process.
