(The chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys is supplied in percentage by mass. Limits are expressed as a maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum)

Aluminum alloy 6063A is a variation of 6063 but with greater strength.  The advantage of aluminium alloy 6063A is that is still has good surface finish qualities.

Applications

Aluminium alloy 6063A is used in the same applications as 6063 but can also be found in the following; Road & Rail transport.

* Properties given are typical and should only be used for comparisons of alloys. Actual values will depend on section specification.

** Aerospace materials are covered by the ‘L’ series of British standards.
