6063 T5 Aluminum Extrusion Profiles
6063 T5 aluminum extrusion profiles are produced from the 6063 alloy in the T5 temper, a condition achieved by cooling after extrusion and controlled artificial aging without additional solution heat treatment at the press. Shanghai Huishuo Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd. manufactures these profiles at its three production bases in Shanghai, Anhui, and Jiangsu, covering approximately 30,000 square meters. With over 16 years of aluminum profile customization and processing experience, the company provides one-stop services covering mold making, extrusion, CNC precision machining, surface treatment, and frame design and assembly.

Product Overview
6063 is an aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy commonly used for extrusion because it forms complex cross-sections and produces a smooth surface finish. The T5 temper is obtained by cooling the extruded profile and then subjecting it to artificial aging. This temper provides moderate strength with good dimensional stability for many structural and architectural applications.
The T5 temper is widely specified for profiles that need to hold their shape after forming and machining. It is not intended for applications requiring the higher strength of solution heat-treated tempers. Huishuo Aluminum processes 6063 T5 profiles in standard series and custom cross-sections, with surface treatment options that include anodizing, electrophoresis, spraying, and brushing.
Because the alloy and temper affect machining behavior, surface appearance, and finished part performance, Huishuo Aluminum reviews the material grade, temper, drawing tolerances, and processing sequence with the customer before production.

Common Questions and Solutions
What does the T5 temper mean for a 6063 extrusion profile?
T5 indicates that the profile was cooled after extrusion and then artificially aged, without additional solution heat treatment at the press. This temper provides moderate strength with good dimensional stability. It is commonly specified for profiles where the extrusion surface and dimensional consistency are important.
Is 6063 T5 suitable for structural load-bearing applications?
6063 T5 is used in many structural and semi-structural applications, but suitability depends on load, span, connection design, and deflection limits. For higher strength requirements, other alloys or tempers may be specified. Huishuo Aluminum can review drawings and application conditions to support material selection.
Can 6063 T5 profiles be anodized in different colors?
Yes. Huishuo Aluminum provides anodizing as well as electrophoresis, spraying, and brushing. Anodizing can be produced in clear or colored finishes depending on requirements. The choice of finish depends on the intended appearance and service environment.
What machining operations can be performed on 6063 T5 profiles?
Huishuo Aluminum provides CNC precision machining including drilling, milling, cutting, tapping, and bending. Machining is performed according to customer drawings with stable dimensions and controllable tolerances.
Can you produce custom cross-sections in 6063 T5?
Yes. Huishuo Aluminum provides custom mold making for irregular profiles. The process includes mold design, development, and extrusion molding. Customers can supply drawings or samples for evaluation before production.
What information is needed to quote a 6063 T5 profile order?
Useful information includes the cross-section drawing or series, temper, length, quantity, machining operations, surface treatment requirements, and tolerance requirements. Providing these details allows Huishuo Aluminum to review feasibility and prepare a quotation.
Precautions for Use
Store 6063 T5 aluminum extrusion profiles in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid contact with sharp objects that may damage the surface. When cutting or machining, follow safety procedures and use appropriate tools. For load-bearing structures, verify the structural design with qualified personnel. Ensure that fasteners are correctly tightened and that connections are checked periodically. Clean with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, strong acids, and strong alkalis on treated surfaces. Handle profiles with care during transport and assembly to reduce surface damage.
