Kloeckner Metals sells 6063 aluminum channels, a lightweight, corrosion resistant extruded product ideal for architectural trim applications. Contact us today for a quote.
6063 is one of the most popular extruded aluminum product grades. It has good corrosion resistance, weldability, and strength-to-weight ratio.
6063 aluminum is a lightweight extrusion alloy showing good corrosion resistance and weldability. High wear applications are not recommended for this grade.
The construction, architectural, building products, home goods, irrigation, appliance, marine, aerospace, and automotive industries are some common industries for 6063 aluminum.
6063 aluminum channels are good for any fabrication projects that require both corrosion resistance and good strength-to-weight. For example, frame work, brackets, structural support, and exterior and interior architecture trim.
It has fair machinability.
It has good weldability.
It is heat treatable.

ANSWER:
Yes, aluminum channels are made through the process of extrusion. The 6000 aluminum series, and 6063 aluminum in particular, is considered among the best alloys for extruded aluminum. First, the aluminum is heated, then pushed through a die. For channels, this die will be shaped like the letter C, but with a straight back to form 90 degree angles. Once aluminum angle cools and hardens it will be cut to length.
ANSWER:
These extruded shapes are similar in that neither are designed for extreme weight bearing applications. They are more commonly used in structural support, as bracing or frame work. The main difference between an angle and a channel is the shape. Angles look like an uppercase L, and channels look like a straight backed C.
