What is the difference between aluminum profiles T5 and T6?

[SavannahLynn]

The differences between aluminum profiles T5 and T6 are as follows: 1. Different quenching methods: T5 generally uses air cooling during quenching at the profile factory, while T6 generally uses water cooling. 2. Different strengths: T6 has better strength than T5, but T6 is usually 500-1000 yuan more expensive than T5. 3. Different properties: T6 involves instant cooling of the aluminum profile with water after extrusion from the extruder, enabling the aluminum profile to meet higher hardness requirements. T5 aluminum profiles are essentially aluminum alloy profiles made of 6063 material, while 6063T5 refers to the state where the aluminum alloy is artificially aged after high-temperature forming and cooling.
