💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is 6063-T5 aluminum, and how does it differ from other aluminum alloys?

6063-T5 aluminum is an extruded aluminum alloy from the 6000 series, primarily composed of magnesium and silicon. It is known for its good corrosion resistance, excellent surface finish, and moderate strength. Compared to 6061-T6 aluminum, 6063-T5 has better formability and anodizing properties but slightly lower strength.

What does the “T5” temper designation mean in 6063-T5 aluminum?

The T5 temper indicates that the aluminum has been cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process (such as extrusion) and artificially aged to achieve a stable strength level. This temper provides a good balance of strength, machinability, and surface quality, making it ideal for precision CNC machining.

What is the difference between 6063-T5 and 6061-T6 aluminum for CNC machining?

6063-T5 aluminum is better for intricate designs and anodizing applications due to its smooth surface finish and high corrosion resistance. 6061-T6 aluminum is stronger and preferred for high-load structural components.

How fast can I receive my CNC aluminum prototype?

We offer rapid CNC prototyping, with lead times as short as 5-7 business days, depending on design complexity.

Can I get a custom surface finish on my aluminum prototype?

Yes! We offer anodizing, polishing, powder coating, and plating to meet your aesthetic and functional requirements.

Do you provide bulk production services in addition to prototyping?

Yes, we offer low-volume and high-volume OEM CNC milling services for aluminum parts.

How corrosion-resistant is 6063-T5 aluminum?

6063-T5 aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in mild and marine environments. The natural oxide layer on its surface protects it from oxidation, moisture, and atmospheric contaminants. Anodizing further improves its resistance to harsh conditions.

How does 6063-T5 aluminum perform in high temperatures?

6063-T5 aluminum has a melting point of approximately 655°C (1210°F). However, its mechanical properties decline at elevated temperatures. For high-temperature applications, alternative aluminum alloys with better heat resistance, such as 6061-T6, may be more suitable.

Is 6063-T5 aluminum suitable for load-bearing applications?

6063-T5 aluminum is not recommended for high-load structural applications, as it has moderate strength. If the application requires high load-bearing capacity, 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum would be better choices.

What finishing options are available for CNC-milled 6063-T5 aluminum parts?

6063-T5 aluminum can undergo various surface treatments, including:

  • Plating (for additional protection and conductivity)
  • Anodizing (for corrosion resistance and decorative appearance)
  • Polishing (for a smooth, reflective surface)
  • Powder coating (for enhanced durability and color customization)
  • Brushing (for a textured aesthetic finish)
