Different Tempers of 6063 Aluminum Tubes Metal
| Temper | Description |
|---|---|
| O (Annealed) | Fully annealed to achieve maximum ductility and formability, suitable for applications requiring high toughness. |
| T1 | Cooled from an elevated temperature forming process and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition, commonly used for architectural and structural profiles. |
| T4 | Solution heat-treated and naturally aged, providing a balance between toughness and strength. |
| T5 | Cooled from an elevated temperature forming process and artificially aged to improve hardness and strength, suitable for applications needing moderate strength. |
| T6 | Solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve the highest strength and hardness, making it one of the most common tempers for 6063 alloys. |
| T52 | Similar to T5 but with specific aging processes to enhance certain characteristics such as crack resistance and surface finish. |

FAQ
What Is 6063 Aluminum Pipe?
6063 is an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the primary alloying elements, which belongs to the 6000 series aluminum alloys. It is widely known for having excellent extrusion properties, making it ideal for creating complex shapes with smooth surfaces. Its superior response to anodizing and other surface treatments makes it the top choice for applications where aesthetics and durability are critical.
Is 6063 aluminum pipe bendable?
Yes, 6063 aluminum tubing is highly bendable and is known for its excellent formability. This alloy belongs to the 6000 series, which combines aluminum with magnesium and silicon to create a material that is both strong and workable.
With moderate strength and high corrosion resistance, 6063 aluminum is well suited for applications that require bending and forming, such as architectural and decorative projects, framing, and piping. The ability to bend and shape this alloy depends on the tempering condition:
O (Annealed) Temper: Offers the most flexibility and is the most bendable state. It is ideal for projects that require a lot of forming.
T1 and T4 Tempers: Offer good formability and moderate strength.
T6 Temper: While stronger, it is less bendable than the O or T1 tempers. Special techniques may be required to achieve bends without cracking or damaging the material.
In summary, 6063 aluminum tubing is bendable, especially in softer tempers, making it suitable for applications that require complex shapes or bends.
Characteristics of 6063 Aluminum Pipe:
Good Strength-to-Weight Ratio: While not as strong as some other aluminum alloys, 6063 still offers adequate strength for many structural applications.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Due to its composition, 6063 aluminum tube is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and marine environments.
Good Weldability: 6063 aluminum is easy to weld using most common welding methods, making it adaptable for fabrication and assembly.
High Formability: The alloy’s malleability allows it to be bent, shaped, and formed without breaking or losing integrity, particularly in softer tempers.
Smooth Finish: It provides an excellent surface finish, which can be further improved by anodizing, making it aesthetically pleasing and protective against wear.
Is 6063 aluminum tube suitable for outdoor use?
Of course. 6063 aluminum has excellent natural corrosion resistance. For optimal durability and color stability outdoors, we strongly recommend anodizing or powder coating.
Can you provide custom shapes other than round tubes?
es. While this page focuses on tubes, our expertise is in aluminum extrusion. We can produce custom square tubes, rectangular tubes, and complex hollow profiles based on your CAD drawings.
What is the difference between 6063-T5 and 6063-T6 temper?
The main difference is the heat treatment process, which results in different mechanical properties. 6063-T6 is artificially aged for a longer period of time, giving it higher tensile and yield strengths than 6063-T5. T5 is sufficient for most applications, while T6 is suitable for applications that require higher strength.
