6063 Aluminum Angles
6063 Aluminum Angles
6063 Aluminum is commonly referred to as the architectural alloy. It was developed as an extrusion alloy with relatively high tensile properties, excellent finishing characteristics, and a high degree of resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for architectural and structural applications.

Overview
6063 Aluminum Angles are a premier choice for architects, fabricators, and construction professionals across Los Angeles. Known as the 'architectural alloy,' 6063 aluminum is specifically engineered for extrusion, offering an exceptional balance of strength, workability, and superior corrosion resistance. This makes it ideal for a vast range of applications where aesthetics and durability are paramount, from sleek interior trim to robust exterior architectural features. At our Los Angeles metal supply center, we understand the demands of local projects, providing high-quality 6063 aluminum angle that meets strict industry standards.
Technically, 6063 aluminum angle is characterized by its sharp 90-degree inside and outside corners, creating a clean, precise profile. This shape is not only structurally efficient for frameworks and brackets but also provides a perfect edge for trim and finishing work. The alloy's excellent finishing characteristics mean it takes anodizing, painting, and powder coating exceptionally well, allowing for complete customization to match any design specification. Whether you're working on architectural details or structural applications, this material delivers consistent performance.
The primary advantage of 6063 aluminum angle lies in its versatility and resilience. It is significantly lighter than steel products, reducing overall structural weight and simplifying installation. Its inherent resistance to corrosion eliminates the need for galvanization, making it a superior, low-maintenance option for various environments. For Los Angeles contractors seeking reliable materials for construction, from custom fabrications to architectural projects, 6063 aluminum angle offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution. We stock a comprehensive range of sizes and offer custom cut-to-size services to ensure you get exactly what you need for your specific project, delivered promptly throughout the LA area.

- Use 4043 or 5356 aluminum filler wire for welding 6063 aluminum.
- Clean the weld area thoroughly to remove oxides and contaminants.
- Preheat may be recommended for thicker sections to prevent cracking.
- Note: Welding can affect the temper (T6) properties in the heat-affected zone.
How to Measure & Specify
To specify Aluminum Angle:
- Leg Dimensions: Specify both leg lengths (e.g., 2" ? 3").
- Thickness: Specify the material thickness (e.g., 1/4").
- Length: Required length in feet or inches.
- Temper: T52 (structural) or T6 (higher strength).
- Finish: Mill finish, anodized, or other.
- Full Spec Example: "2" ? 3" ? 1/4" 6063-T6 Aluminum Angle, 20' length, mill finish"
Measurement Tip: For equal leg angles (e.g., 2" ? 2"), you can specify as "2" ? 2" angle." For unequal legs, always specify Leg A ? Leg B.
