Kloeckner Metals sells 6063 aluminum tube, a medium strength alloy known for its excellent finishing quality. Contact us today for a quote.
Due to good corrosion resistance, weldability, and excellent surface finishing characteristics, 6063 is one of the most common alloys in the 6000 aluminum series.
6063 aluminum tube has good corrosion resistance, good weldability and excellent finishing characteristics. Another advantage is that the tube can be both hot and cold-finished. Though it has fair machinability, this grade can be easily formed and anodized.
This grade is common in a wide range of industries, including the construction, architectural, building products, home goods, irrigation, appliance, marine, aerospace, and automotive industries.
It is used in electrical systems, pipe railings, anodized parts, door frames, railroad transportation, architecture, irrigation tubing, and automotive parts.
It has fair machinability.
It has good weldability.
It is heat treatable.

ANSWER:
Strength is the main difference between these two common alloys. They have excellent corrosion resistance and finishing quality. They are both lightweight, easily anodized, and good for extrusion. However, where strength is a critical factor, 6061 is recommended over 6063, which is better described as a medium strength alloy. Read more about the differences between 6061 vs 6063 aluminum.
ANSWER:
When bending is a significant fabrication consideration, and both 6063-T5 and 6063-T6 are available, T5 is recommended.
