Premier 6063 Aluminum Tube Manufacturer in China
Since 2002, Xingyong has provided high-quality custom 6063 aluminum tubing to global buyers.
What is 6063 Aluminum Tube?
6063 aluminum tube is often called the “architectural alloy” because it has a very smooth surface. It is perfect for parts that need to look good, like furniture, rails, and window frames. This metal resists rust and is easy to shape, bend, or anodize with color. While it is not as strong as 6061, our 6063 aluminum tubing offers better corrosion resistance and a finer finish. Whether you need round or square shapes, this material works great for both outdoor and indoor projects.

FAQ of 6063 Aluminum Tube
What is the difference between 6061 and 6063 aluminum tube?
The main difference is their surface finish and strength. 6061 vs 6063 aluminum tube comparisons show that 6061 is stronger and used for structural heavy loads, while 6063 is known as the “architectural alloy.” 6063 has a much smoother surface, making it the best choice for anodizing, visible architectural trim, and furniture where aesthetics matter more than raw tensile strength.
Can 6063 aluminum tube be bent without cracking?
Yes, but the temper matters. A standard 6063 T6 aluminum tube is very hard and may crack if bent sharply. For bending 6063 aluminum tube projects, we recommend ordering T4 or T52 tempers, which are softer and highly formable. After bending, we can heat treat the finished part to T6 to restore its strength.
What is the difference between T5 and T6 tempers?
The difference lies in how they are cooled. 6063 T5 aluminum tube is air-cooled at the press and artificially aged, offering medium strength and a great finish for general use. 6063 T6 aluminum tube is water-cooled (quenched) for maximum hardness and strength. T6 is preferred for load-bearing parts, while T5 is standard for windows and trim.
Is 6063 aluminum tubing suitable for anodizing?
Absolutely. In fact, 6063 aluminum tubing is the best alloy for anodizing. Its high purity allows it to take color consistently and form a uniform, protective oxide layer. At Xingyong, our automatic anodizing lines can produce silver, black, bronze, or custom colors that resist fading and scratching better than other alloys.
Does 6063 aluminum pipe rust in outdoor or marine use?
No, it is highly resistant to corrosion. 6063 aluminum pipe is often called “marine grade” for architectural use because it lacks copper, which causes corrosion in other alloys. This makes it perfect for swimming pool poles, irrigation systems, and boat railings exposed to water and humidity.
