6063 EXTRUDED ALUMINUM TUBING
6063 EXTRUDED ALUMINUM TUBING
6061 extruded aluminum tubing is made from a popular heat treatable magnesium/silicon alloy. This alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and weld- ability. Due to its finer grain structure, this is an excellent alloy choice for anodizing. Applications include air cylinder, electrical bus conductor and architectural.
