Which aluminium extrusion alloys do you typically use?

It really does depend on the nature of your project. Wherever possible, we use 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys, as they are widely available and suited to commercial use. Of the available aluminium extrusion grades, we primarily use:

• 6063
• 6063a
• 6005
• 6005a
• 6082

There are other available aluminium extrusion grades, however, there would rarely be a case in which we would need to use these. If you are unsure of whether the available aluminium extrusion grades are suited to your intended application, or would like to know which grade we would recommend, please feel free to contact us.
