6060

Aluminium alloy 6060 is a medium strength heat treatable alloy with a strength slightly lower than 6005A and better extrudeability than 6063. It has very good corrosion resistance (similar to 6063) and very good weldability plus good cold formability especially in temper T4. It is commonly used alloy for very complex cross sections and has very good anodizing response.
