At ALEXCO, we primarily use 6060 alloy due to its consistent extrusion properties, good strength, high corrosion resistance and excellent machinability. 6060 alloy also offers good weldability, formability and is ideal for high-quality anodising. 6060 is the most popular extrusion aluminium grade in New Zealand.
Billet Supply
We source our aluminium billet from multiple suppliers, ensuring continuity of supply.
Supply Controls
At ALEXCO, we are committed to maintaining approximately six months stock on-site as part of our supply chain management controls.
6061 Grade Alloy
We hold limited stock of 6061, which is available for specialised applications requiring higher strength than architectural grade 6060.
