Often called the architectural alloy, 6063-T5 aluminum contains magnesium and silicon, which give it an excellent surface finish, high corrosion resistance, and superior extrudability. This channel profile, conforming to ASTM B308, is ideal for applications where aesthetics are paramount. Its T5 temper indicates it has been artificially aged for increased strength while maintaining good formability.
As a medium-sized profile, this 2" x 1" channel provides a balance of structural support and light weight. It is perfectly suited for building frames for solar panels, enclosures for electronic equipment, supports for retail displays, and creating custom railing systems where a clean, modern look is required.
