Aluminium alloy EN AW 6063

Properties of the EN AW 6063 alloy

The EN AW 6063 is a commonly used aluminium alloy known for its excellent extrudability and corrosion resistance. This alloy is often applied where a smooth finish and aesthetic value are important.

The 6063 alloy contains silicon and magnesium as alloying elements, providing a good balance between strength and workability. This makes it an excellent material choice for thin-walled profiles and it can also be used sustainably.

One of the greatest advantages of the alloy is its excellent corrosion resistance – even in moist and aggressive environments.
