Aluminium ENAW-6063A Pipes, Tubing & Tube (6063A - T6)

Product Description

Aluminum EN AW-6063A T6: Overview

EN AW-6063A is a high-performance structural modification of the standard 6063 aluminum alloy engineered within the European standard (EN) framework. It provides a consistently higher mechanical yield strength baseline than standard 6063 while retaining the excellent extrudability, precise weldability, and superior anodizing quality of the base architectural alloy series.

When heat-treated to the T6 temper (solution heat-treated and artificially aged), EN AW-6063A pipes, tubing, and hollow sections provide an optimized safety margin for load-bearing frameworks requiring premium surface finishes.

Technical Specifications & Standards

EN AW-6063A T6 tubing profiles are governed by European manufacturing directives:

• EN 573-3: Chemical composition and form of products.

• EN 755-2: Extruded rods, bars, tubes, and profiles – Mechanical properties.

Chemical Composition (EN 573-3)

The "A" variant implements tighter tolerances on the core composition—specifically restricting Iron and Manganese—to guarantee uniform precipitation hardening without introducing microstructural brittleness:

Mechanical Properties (T6 Temper vs. Standard Grades)

Because of its tightly controlled chemistry window, the 6063A modification secures an elevated guaranteed minimum yield strength compared to standard 6063 and 6060:
