Aluminium 6063 Fasteners are lightweight, corrosion-resistant threaded components manufactured from an aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy known for its good surface finish, formability, and extrusion characteristics. We supply Aluminium 6063 bolts, nuts, screws, studs, threaded rods, and other fasteners in different sizes, shapes, and tempers for architectural, structural, fabrication, electrical, marine, and general engineering applications.
Also known as UNS A96063 and EN AW-6063, this alloy is particularly suitable where low weight, attractive appearance, moderate strength, and corrosion resistance are important. 6063-T6 Aluminum Bolts and Screws offer higher strength than the softer tempers, while 6063-T4 Formable Aluminum Screws are useful where improved formability is required.
What Are Aluminium 6063 Fasteners?
Aluminium 6063 Fasteners are bolts, screws, nuts, studs, washers, and threaded components made from Alloy 6063 aluminium. The alloy contains magnesium and silicon and is widely used for architectural frames, extrusion assemblies, lightweight structures, and general fabrication because it offers low density, good corrosion resistance, good surface finish, and easy machinability. 6063-T6 provides increased strength after heat treatment, while 6063-T4 offers better formability.

Types of Aluminium 6063 Fasteners
Different fastening designs are available depending on the assembly and installation method.
➤ 6063-T6 Aluminum Bolts and Screws
6063-T6 Aluminum Bolts and Screws are heat-treated fasteners designed for applications requiring better mechanical strength while retaining the low weight and corrosion resistance of aluminium. Hex bolts, machine screws, socket head screws, countersunk screws, and other configurations can be produced.
➤ Architectural Aluminum 6063 Bolts
Architectural Aluminum 6063 Bolts are suitable for lightweight framing systems, architectural assemblies, façade components, aluminium profiles, and extrusion-based structures. Their appearance and corrosion resistance make them useful where the fastener is exposed or visible.
➤ Extrusion Frame Aluminum 6063 Screws
Extrusion Frame Aluminum 6063 Screws are commonly used with aluminium extrusion profiles and modular framing systems. Their lightweight construction helps maintain the weight advantage of aluminium structures while providing a practical method of joining profile sections.
➤ 6063-T4 Formable Aluminum Screws
6063-T4 has a lower-strength condition than T6 but offers improved formability. 6063-T4 Formable Aluminum Screws can therefore be considered for applications where forming or machining characteristics are more important than maximum strength.
➤ Aluminium 6063 Nuts and Threaded Rods
We also supply Aluminium 6063 nuts, threaded rods, studs, washers, and other matching components. These can be specified with metric or imperial threads and customized according to project requirements.
