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.

This aluminum channel measures 2 inches in base width, with legs of 1 inch by 1 inch and a thickness of 0.125 inches. It is made from 6063 alloy aluminum with a T52 temper, produced by extrusion, offering excellent corrosion resistance and good formability.

6063-T52 aluminum channel is ideal for applications where corrosion resistance and aesthetics are prioritized over strength, such as piping, furniture, and decorative architectural uses. It is about half as strong as 6061 alloy but offers better formability and corrosion resistance.

Yes, custom cut lengths are available from the warehouse. The maximum length offered for this extruded aluminum channel is 192 inches.

Shipping weights vary by length, starting at 0.57 lb for a 12-inch piece and up to 9.12 lb for a 192-inch piece. Prices range from $10.29 for 12 inches to $119.92 for 192 inches, with multiple length options in between.
