An extrusion grade selected for visible architectural profiles and heat sinks, with decorative anodizing response and strength below 6063 in Hydro’s comparison.
Selected extrusion facts; single manufacturer source; no design allowables or full composition table.. Keep typical values, source minima and composition limits distinct. Reference records are not certificates or design allowables.
Grade, forms and temper conditions
6000 series · Extruded profiles
Reviewed temper examples: T4, T5, T6, T64, T66. These do not establish every possible alloy-form-temper supply combination.

Fabrication and material selection
Specify wall thickness and temper together. Hydro applies the lowest applicable mechanical requirement to a profile containing multiple thickness bands; T64 is identified as bending quality.
Applications and product forms
Door and window frames, Heat sinks, Railings and furniture
Standards and acceptance
Identify the governing product specification by the actual form and manufacturing route. A grade designation alone does not establish compliance or equivalence. Confirm the edition, required condition, inspection and dimensional limits through the supplier and an authorized specification.

Technical questions
Are typical values delivery limits?
No. A typical reference value describes the source condition; it is not a guaranteed minimum for a delivered lot.
Which temper and thickness should I compare?
Compare the same material form, temper, thickness/test condition, unit and value basis. Different conditions cannot be silently treated as interchangeable.
Technical sources and verification
Selected reference facts checked 14 October 2026. Source values apply to their stated material condition and are not certification of supplied stock.
