Characteristics of Faztek's 6063-T6 T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion Alloy F25: Aluminum, Magnesium, & Silicon

General Characteristics:

• Won't Burn
• 1/3 Weight of Steel
• Not Magnetic
• Won't Rust
• On a weight basis, aluminum is the most efficient thermal conductor

Mechanical Data

• Tensile Strength: The point at which the material fractures - T6 30,000 psi minimum.
• Yield Strength: The point at which the material stretches– T6 = 25,000 psi minimum.
  • Elongation: The difference between tensile and yield strength (how the material stretches).
  • Elongation A10 (material up to .124 thick = 8%) Elongation A5 (material greater than .124 thick = 10%)
• Rockwell Hardness (Webster): E scale of E50
• Modulus of Elasticity: 10,000,000 lbs / sq in.
• Melting Point: Between 1140° to 1210°
• Aluminum begins to soften at 400deg - Once aluminum softens, it stays in that state.

Extrusion Properties:

• Flatness: .004" x W" (width of part)
• Twist: (measured in degrees)
  • 10EX1010 = 1 x measured length (ft)
  • All other profiles larger than 10EX1010 = .500 measured length (ft)
• Straightness: .010" x L' (measured length)

Drop-Lock Feature

Properly tighten fasteners to ensure a vibration-proof frame!

• A 1°-2.2° drop-lock feature is a taper from the extrusion face to the T-Slot center.
• All Faztek's T-Slotted profiles are extruded with this feature (except '40EX')
• A drop-lock allows the extrusion to be drawn up to the mating mounting surface, which acts as a lock washer.

Proper Torque Ratings

Pressurizing an Extrusion Cavity

Faztek's aluminum extrusion profiles can be pressurized up to 150psi. This is extremely useful for many applications such as workstations and work benches for air tools and liquid flow (water, coolant, gas, etc.)

The table below lists specific values for each profile.

Example: What is the volume for a 15EX3030 at 32.00" long?

Volume (cu in) = Constant value (sq in) x Length of the Extrusion Volume (cu in) = 3.626 x 32.00" Volume (cu in) = 116.032 cu in
