Aluminium alloys

Aluminium alloys

The right alloy depends on extrudability, mechanical requirements, surface quality and application.

Commonly used 6xxx alloys

6060

Widely used where good extrudability and clean finishing are important.

6061

A technical alloy with higher mechanical properties.

6063

Widely used for architectural extrusion profiles and high surface quality.

6082

Suitable for more heavily loaded structural and industrial applications.

The final alloy selection should always be matched to profile geometry, temper, processing and functional requirements.
