Anodized Architectural 6063 Aluminum 90° Angles

Yield Strength: 16,000 psi
Hardness: Brinell 60 (Soft)
Temper: T5
Fabrication: Extruded
Specifications Met: ASTM B221

The anodized coating on these 90° angles forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance. Often called decorative anodize, it provides a uniform finish that readily accepts paint and adhesive. More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Easy-to-Form 6060 Aluminum

Yield Strength: 21,000 psi
Hardness: Brinell 65 (Soft)
Temper: T66
Fabrication: Extruded

Easier to bend and shape than 6061 aluminum, this aluminum is good for framing, cross sections, and structures in construction and marine industries. It’s corrosion resistant as well as easy to machine and weld. It can also be anodized to create a durable, decorative finish.

Tight-Tolerance High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Rods

Yield Strength: 73,000 psi
Hardness: Brinell 150 (Medium)
Temper: T6
Fabrication: Cold Worked
Specifications Met: ASTM B211

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance. Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.
