Custom Size 6063 / 6082 Extruded Aluminum Bars

6063 and 6082 are the two most common 6xxx-series (Al-Mg-Si) aluminum alloys for extruded bars. They are heat-treatable, easy to extrude, and take anodizing and painting well, which is why they are used for structural frames, machine parts, and architectural profiles. Below you will find the grades we supply, available tempers, sizes, typical properties, and how to request a quote.

What are 6063 and 6082 aluminum bars

Both alloys belong to the 6xxx series and are strengthened by magnesium and silicon. 6063 has good extrudability and a clean surface after anodizing, so it is widely used for architectural and decorative profiles. 6082 has higher strength and better machinability, so it is preferred for structural and load-bearing parts.

 

Both are supplied in heat-treated tempers. We offer T4, T5, T6 and T66. T5 and T6 are the standard choices; T6 gives the highest strength among the common tempers, and T66 is a higher-strength variant for demanding structural use.

 

Typical chemical composition (wt %, single values are maximums; per EN 573-3 / GB/T 3190)

Grade Si Fe Cu Mn Mg Cr Zn Ti
6063 0.20–0.60 0.35 0.10 0.10 0.45–0.90 0.10 0.10 0.10
6082 0.70–1.30 0.50 0.10 0.40–1.00 0.60–1.20 0.25 0.20 0.10

 

Typical mechanical properties (indicative)

Grade – temper Tensile strength MPa (ksi) Yield strength MPa (ksi) Elongation %
6063-T5 ≥160 (23) ≥110 (16) ≥8
6063-T6 ≥205 (30) ≥170 (25) ≥8
6082-T6 ≥310 (45) ≥260 (38) ≥8

6082-T6 is clearly stronger than 6063, so choose 6082 where the part carries load and 6063 where surface finish and formability matter more.

 

Benefits and limitations

Benefits

Good strength-to-weight ratio; 6082-T6 reaches about 310 MPa tensile while staying light at 2.70 g/cm³.

Excellent extrudability, especially 6063, which suits complex profiles and custom shapes.

Good corrosion resistance in normal atmospheric and indoor environments.

Anodizes and paints well, giving a clean, durable finish.

Welds and machines readily for fabrication.

Limitations

Lower strength than 2xxx or 7xxx alloys; not for the heaviest structural loads.

Not suitable for high-temperature or high-pressure service.

Strength and corrosion behavior depend on temper and environment - confirm the temper with your design before ordering.

Applications

6063 and 6082 extruded aluminum bars are used in different types of construction, fabrication, and engineering applications, depending on the required strength, surface finish, and machining performance.

Building and architectural structures: window and door frames, curtain-wall components, handrails, balustrades, posts, and lightweight support structures. 6063 is commonly selected where surface appearance, extrusion quality, and anodizing performance are important.

Machinery and equipment: machine frames, bases, brackets, jigs, fixtures, guards, spacers, and support members. 6082 is better suited to applications requiring higher mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity.

Transport and vehicle components: trailer and vehicle structural parts, body frames, support members, and lightweight fabricated components where aluminum weight reduction is beneficial.

General engineering and fabrication: machined bars, brackets, supports, shafts, connectors, and bolted or welded assemblies. 6082 is particularly useful where higher strength and good machinability are required.

Architectural and visible components: trims, posts, rails, profiles, and other exposed components that may be anodized, powder coated, or otherwise surface finished. 6063 is often preferred for applications where appearance and surface quality are important.

Industrial and commercial equipment: work platforms, access structures, equipment frames, protective guards, shelving components, and other fabricated structures where moderate weight and corrosion resistance are required.

Selection note: 6063 is generally a better choice for architectural extrusions and visible components, while 6082 is more appropriate when higher structural strength and machining performance are the main requirements.

FAQ

Which grade should I choose, 6063 or 6082?

Use 6063 for architectural, decorative, and lightly loaded parts where surface finish matters. Use 6082 when the part carries load or needs higher strength.

What tempers are available?

T4, T5, T6, and T66. T6 is the common high-strength choice; T5 is used where straightness and finish are more important than peak strength.

What is the tensile strength?

6063-T6 is about 205 MPa minimum; 6082-T6 is about 310 MPa minimum. Exact values are on the mill test certificate with your order.

Can you supply custom sizes and profiles?

Yes. Round and square bars are available from 10 mm diameter up to 420 mm, and we extrude custom profiles from your drawing.

What is the MOQ and lead time?

MOQ is flexible and small orders are accepted. Lead time is 15–30 days after specification confirmation.

Can you cut to length and provide certificates?

Yes. We cut to your required length, and every shipment includes an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate under ISO 9001. Third-party inspection is available on request.
