Equal 90° Legs
Two matching nominal leg widths provide simple locating and two mounting faces.

Clean Extruded Finish
6063 is widely chosen when profile appearance and finish response matter.

Low Weight
The open L-section supports practical framing without the mass of solid bar.

Corrosion Resistance
Suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications with correct design.

Easy Fabrication
Suitable for sawing, drilling, fastening and qualified aluminum welding.

Finish Options
Mill finish, anodizing and powder coating available subject to quotation.

Over 12.50 to 25.00 mm	145 MPa min.	105 MPa min.	8% min.

Typical property	Reference value
Density	Approximately 2,700 kg/m³
Elastic modulus	Approximately 69 GPa
Thermal conductivity, T5	Approximately 209 W/(m·K)
Electrical conductivity, T5	Approximately 55% IACS

Equal-Leg Geometry

A · LEGA · LEGt · THICKNESS

Specify the section as A × A × t, where A is each nominal leg width and t is wall thickness. Real extrusions include inside and outside corner radii governed by the die and specification. For a closed hollow frame member, see 6063-T5 aluminum square tube; for a solid rectangular mounting blank, compare 6061-T6 aluminum flat bar.

Common Enquiry Sizes

These are common enquiry examples, not a live-stock promise. Typical lengths are 1–6 m or cut to size.

A × A × t · mm	Approx. mass	Typical use
10 × 10 × 1.0	0.051 kg/m	Light trim
15 × 15 × 1.5	0.115 kg/m	Guards and small frames
20 × 20 × 2.0	0.205 kg/m	General framing
25 × 25 × 3.0	0.381 kg/m	Cabinets and equipment frames

Product Presentation and Quality Checks

Long 6063-T5 equal aluminum angle profiles in a warehouse, AI-generated illustration

The image is an AI-generated presentation illustration and does not certify an actual batch, dimension, finish or packing method. Incoming inspection should confirm alloy, temper, A × A × t, ordered length, straightness, twist, cut ends, surface condition and documentation.

Packing and Ordering

Long profiles should be supported, separated and bundled to control bending and handling marks. Please provide: 6063-T5; A × A × t; length; quantity; applicable standard; tolerances; straightness and twist limits; cut-end condition; surface finish; packing; and certificate requirements.
