Aluminum Architectural Channel 6063-T52 has excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and light weight. 6063 is more easily formable and much more corrosion resistant than 6061, but it is only about half as strong. 6063-T52 is typically used in applications where corrosion resistance and aesthetic are more important than strength, such as piping, furniture, and decorative applications.

Yes, this extruded aluminum channel can be custom cut with a maximum length of 192 inches. Custom cuts are available from the warehouse, allowing you to order the exact size you need.

Absolutely. The 6063 alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and good formability, making it ideal for applications where aesthetics and durability against corrosion are important, such as piping, furniture, and decorative architectural uses.

This product is a channel shape with legs measuring 0.375 inches by 0.375 inches, a base width of 0.75 inches, and a thickness of 0.125 inches. It is an extruded aluminum channel made from 6063-T52 alloy.

6063-T52 aluminum has moderate strength, with an ultimate tensile strength of 27 ksi and a yield strength of 21 ksi. It is more formable and corrosion resistant than 6061 but about half as strong, making it easier to machine and shape for architectural and decorative uses.
