Product Details, Specifications, and Technical Information
Aluminum Rectangle Tube 6063-T6 offers exceptional corrosion resistance, light weight, and good formability. 6063 is more easily formable and much more corrosion resistant than 6061, but it is only about half as strong. 6063-T6 is typically used in applications where corrosion resistance and aesthetic are more important than strength, such as piping, furniture, and decorative applications.
