ALumiFrame.com AlumiFrame 6063

6063 aluminum is a 6000-series aluminum alloy: there is significant alloying with both magnesium and silicon, and the alloy is formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 6063 is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-6063. H9 is the British Standard (BS) designation. A96063 is the UNS number. Additionally, the EN chemical designation is AlMg0,7Si. Older literature may refer to this material as CSA GS10, but this is now discouraged. It has been in use since 1944, but has only received its standard designation in 1954. This material is well established: the Further Reading section below cites a number of published standards, and that list is not necessarily exhaustive. It can have the lowest tensile strength among the 6000-series alloys in the database. The properties of 6063 aluminum include thirteen common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare 6063 aluminum to: 6000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
