6063 Aluminum

6063 is an architectural alloy known for its excellent extrusion properties, allowing it to be formed into complex shapes for applications like window and door frames, furniture, and signage. It offers superior corrosion resistance and a fine surface finish, but with lower strength than some other alloys like 6061, making it ideal when aesthetics and corrosion resistance are prioritized over high strength.

To maximize its value, 6063 scrap should be clean and sorted into bare (unpainted) or painted categories, and free from contaminants like iron, plastic, or other foreign materials
