Why do you use 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys?

6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys are widely available and suited to most commercial applications, making them a good choice of alloy for much of the work we undertake for our customers.

This range of  aluminium extrusion alloys contain aluminium (of course!), manganese and silicon. These additional elements allow the alloys to undergo heat treatment to improve strength. 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys are also well suited to fabrication such as welding, are versatile and hard-wearing enough for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, and offer good corrosion resistance and formability.
