6000 Series – Alloys are combined with both magnesium and silicon (forming magnesium silicide) and are extremely common alloys for general purpose uses in a huge variety of industries such as construction, architecture, automobile and more. With above-average strength, strong corrosion resistance and good machinability, materials in this series also respond well to heat-treatment and maintain their workability after tempering or annealing.

We offer locally extruded lower-carbon aluminium profiles ie. cladding, battens, special sections and facade feature systems for architectural applications. “Choosing lower-carbon aluminium can reduce the CO2e emission of your aluminium products by up to 50%”*
