Custom Aluminum Extrusion Services are shapes of aluminum that can be solid, semi-hollow, or hollow. Many everyday products get their form and function from extruded aluminum. They’re used in everything from home appliances to automobiles. Customers value aluminum extrusions for their strength, stability, corrosion resistance, and lightness. Aluminum extrusions make consumer products like patio furniture and speedboats lighter and also increase the durability of items such as sports equipment. Our experienced staff of engineers are ready to assist you with your design needs.
| Alloy Name | 6061 | 6063 |
| Description | 6061 is a versatile alloy that can be heat-treated to tempers such as 6061-T6. Magnesium and silicone are primary alloying elements that give the material high structural strength, toughness, and weldability. | 6063-T5 is a very economical heat-treatable alloy with a smaller grain structure than 6061 alloys. 6063 is more common for extrusions than 6061. It can form parts with thin walls and responds well to finishing processes, making it suitable for decorative applications. |

Metal extrusion products can be found all around us in our daily lives. You can find them from metal windows and door frames to structural components for architecture and airplanes.
Metal tubing, shaped bars, and angle stock are all created through extrusion. Many custom-manufactured parts are made from these standardized extruded shapes. Metal extrusion is often the best, if not the only way, to create components with continuous complex cross-sections at scale while remaining economical. Some industries that use the process include automotive, aerospace, marine, architecture, construction, food processing, and electronics.
Standard aluminum extrusion profiles (like extruded aluminum channel or extruded aluminum bar) are typically mass manufactured by extrusion specialists; if you need large quantities of standard extruded aluminum profiles, you are better off using the services of one of these companies.
However, for custom aluminum extrusion profiles with a nonstandard aluminum extruded shape, Conco may be a better option. That’s because we accept low-volume extrusion orders — for prototyping and small batch production — allowing you to experiment with custom profiles.
In addition to creating custom aluminum extrusion profiles using custom dies, we can combine extrusion with other manufacturing processes (like CNC machining) to produce custom final parts. This can allow us to make parts faster and more affordably,especially if the majority of the part has a consistent cross-section.
We specialize in low-volume manufacturing. If you require a small to medium-size order, other companies may not accommodate your needs.
Our most commonly used alloys are 6061 and 6063, which contain high levels of ma nesium and silicone. Both are highly corrosion resistant.
You may specify a different aluminum alloy, and we will review the feasibility when providing you with a quotation.
Complete Custom Aluminum Extrusion Services from prototype to production ensure high quality, fast delivery and competitive prices.
