Section Specifications and Alloy Details

Alloy and Temper
Standard aluminium sections from Karnataka Metal Company are extruded in 6063 alloy, the most widely used alloy for architectural extrusions. 6063 offers excellent extrudability, corrosion resistance, and a bright surface finish ideal for anodising and powder coating. For a detailed comparison of alloy properties, read our guide on 6063 vs 6061 aluminium. For details on what each temper designation means, see our guide on aluminium tempers.

Yield strength (min)110 MPa170 MPa

Cooling methodAir-cooled from extrusionAir-cooled

T5 and T6 are used for the same applications. T5 may be preferred where tighter tolerances are needed, as its slower quench rate reduces distortion. 6063-T4 (naturally aged, not artificially aged) is also available for applications requiring maximum formability before final ageing.

Need a different alloy? Karnataka Metal Company also extrudes structural and industrial profiles in 6061, 6082, 6005, and other 6000 series alloys at the same Dabaspet plant. These are produced as custom profiles to order, suitable for bus body frameworks, railway structures, bridges, and heavy-duty applications.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a domal section in aluminium? +
A domal section is an aluminium profile designed for sliding window systems. Available in 2-track and 3-track configurations in 6063-T6 alloy.
What aluminium alloy is used for standard sections? +
6063 alloy in T6 temper, offering 35% higher tensile strength than T5. For structural applications, custom profiles in 6061 and 6082 are also available.
What is the price of aluminium sections? +
Pricing depends on profile shape, alloy, finish, and quantity. All sections are quoted per kilogram, for bulk and retail orders alike. Aluminium is a traded commodity, so raw-material prices keep moving with the market and pricing is never fixed. Extrusion pricing is benchmarked to the current NALCO (National Aluminium Company, the Government of India's primary aluminium producer) ingot (grade IE07) or billet (grade CH10) price, with a conversion charge of typically 15 to 20% added on top for the extrusion work. Contact us at +91 80 2670 9928 for current pricing.
Do you have a weight chart or catalogue for aluminium sections? +
Yes. Standard catalogues with section dimensions and weights are available for download. Contact us at +91 80 2670 9928 for specific requirements.
Can aluminium sections be powder coated or anodised? +
Yes: mill finish, anodised, or powder coated. All finishing coordinated from the same Bangalore campus.
What is the minimum order quantity for aluminium sections? +
No minimum for standard sections from ready stock. For profiles that need to be produced, the minimum order is 250 to 300 kg.
Do you deliver aluminium sections outside Bangalore? +
Yes. We deliver across India from Bangalore. We have our own vehicles and can deliver within Bangalore.
