Aluminum Extrusion in PH: 6061 vs 6063, T5 vs T6

Understand alloy and temper differences for Philippine conditions to specify the right extrusions.

In Plain Language

6063 for profiles and appearance; 6061 for strength.
T5 vs T6: different levels of artificial aging and strength.
Coatings and anodizing improve corrosion resistance.

For aluminum extrusion in the Philippines, alloy and temper choices affect performance, finish, and cost.

6061 vs 6063

6063: excellent extrudability and surface finish; common in window/door profiles
6061: higher strength; used when mechanical properties are critical

T5 vs T6 Tempers

T5: cooled and artificially aged; moderate strength
T6: solution heat-treated and artificially aged; higher strength

Finishes for PH Climate

Use powder-coat or anodizing for added durability in tropical and marine environments. Explore extruded profiles and aluminum properties.
