Chia sẻ:The aluminum extrusion manufacturer KIMSEN ALUMINIUM gives you a brief introduction and comparison on the difference between the 6063-T5 aluminum profile and the 6063-T6 aluminum profile.
- T5 is a high-temperature forming + artificial aging. It is cooled by a high-temperature molding process and then subjected to a plastic aging state.
- T6 is solution heat treatment + artificial aging. After the solution heat treatment, the state of artificial aging is performed.
Typical Applications:
-
Railings & furniture
-
Pipe & tube for irrigation systems
-
Truck & trailer flooring
Below are the mechanical properties of 6063 aluminum alloy, which after T5 and T6 treatment:

Although the two tempers are different in definition, there is not much difference between the 6063 alloys, but mainly reflected in the difference in mechanical properties. T5 is generally air-cooled and naturally cooled during quenching in aluminum profile plants. T6 is cooled by water to cool the aluminum material instantaneously so that the aluminum profile can reach higher hardness requirements. T6 temper is apparent with more top mechanical properties in strength, elongation, and hardness, and its price is also higher than the cost of T5.
Considering the usage of your final product, if the material requirement on strength and hardness are relatively high, the temper of T6 can be selected, and if no particular need on strength and hardness, the temper T5 can be chosen.
