Alloy 6005 with properties between those of alloys 6061 and 6082 can be used interchangeably with those alloys. This alloy is used to produce standard and custom shape extrusions with a solid or hollow design, and is considered a medium strength aluminium alloy with excellent corrosion resistance.

Alloy 6005 is typically applied in producing structures such as:

• Railway and bus profile structures;
• Pylons, platforms and pipelines;
• Portable ladders;
• Tubing for furniture

Alloy 6060 is used primarily for structures requiring good strength, a very good surface finish and good anodizing response, such as profiles for windows, doors, entrance lots, ceilings and furniture. It has a very good corrosion resistance and very good weldability.

Alloy 6060 is typically used for a wide range of applications such as:

• Architectural sections, enclosing structures;
• Irrigation, heating and cooling pipes;
• Furniture and office equipment;
• Electronic modules, electro motor housing.

Alloy 6061 is heat-treatable, easily formed, weld-able, and is good at resisting corrosion, whether it’s an, aluminum plate, aluminum bar, or aluminum angle.

Alloy 6061 is typically applied in producing structures such as:

• Boats;
• Structural applications;
• Furniture;
• Engineering structures.

Alloy 6063 is one of the most popular alloys in the 6000 series. It provides good structural strength, and very good corrosion resistance. The 6063 is commonly referred to as an architectural alloy, best suited for welding.

Alloy 6063 is typically applied in the following:

• Producing profiles for windows, doors, railings and furniture;
• Architectural structures and buildings;
• Truck and trailer flooring;
• Electrical components and conduit.

Alloy 6082 has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys, predominantly used as a structural alloy. This alloy is most commonly used for machining.

Alloy 6082 is typically used applied in producing structures such as:

• Bridges;
• Various transport applications;
• Cranes;
• Beer barrels, and milk churns.
