Aluminum bar is produced through an extrusion process and is elongated using dies. Aluminum bar can be produced into a variety of different shapes and can be used for many different industrial applications. Aluminum bar has many different uses and industrial applications due to its light weight, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability. Aluminum bar continues to be the choice metal for many different industrial applications including:
Medical Assembly
Aircraft Construction
Structural components
Commercial Transportation
6063 (UNS A96063) is an aluminum bar that offers good extrudability and high-quality surface. This alloy is used for standard architectural shapes, custom solids, and heatsinks. Also used for electrical applications in T5, T52 & T6 due to its electrical conductivity.
6063 is commonly referred to as an architectural alloy. It has a high resistance to corrosion with excellent finishing characteristics. 6063 has average machinability and forming hot or cold is acceptable. Also due to its conductivity, it is utilized in electrical substations. Commonly used in the manufacture of pipe railings, furniture, windows, stair rails, and in pipe railing.
