Securing Top Tier Payouts for Aluminum 6063 Extrusion (Clean)
When you hit the scale with Aluminum 6063 Extrusion (Clean), you are hauling some of the most sought-after non-ferrous material in the scrap game. Mostly used in architectural applications like window frames, door trims, and storefront framing, 6063 is prized by secondary smelters because it melts down cleanly with minimal impurities. Across the country, yards are paying anywhere from $0.94 to $1.77 per pound. However, grabbing that premium price requires your load to be absolutely spotless and the appetite of buyers in Phoenix to be strong. No paint, no thermal breaks, no steel screws.
The Heavy Cost of Lazy Prep
If you think tossing a few dirty window frames into your clean 6063 gaylord will not hurt, think again. The scale master will spot that contamination from a mile away. If your clean extrusion gets downgraded because it is mixed with painted material, plastic stripping, or lower-grade alloys, you are leaving serious cash on the table. For instance, if the yard drops your load to Aluminum Foil & Light Gauge pricing, you could take a brutal hit, losing about $1.09 per pound instantly. Do not let laziness rob you at the pay window.
The Scrapper's Guide to Clean 6063 Extrusion
Preparing 6063 requires strict attention to detail. This is not like tossing Aluminum 3003 into a bin. You need hand tools to ensure the material is 100% bare and ready for the furnace.
- Eliminate All Steel: Run a magnet over every single piece. A single steel screw left in a window frame joint will downgrade the whole box to 'irony aluminum'.
- Strip the Weather Stripping: All rubber, felt, and glass gaskets must be completely removed.
- Bust Out the Thermal Breaks: Commercial window frames often have a thick plastic resin running down the middle to prevent heat transfer. If it is not chopped out, it is not clean 6063.
Yard Pro Tip: Modern architectural window extrusions almost always have a hard plastic thermal break inside the aluminum channel to stop heat transfer. You cannot sell these as 'Clean 6063' with the plastic still inside. The quickest way to prep this is to use a circular saw with a carbide-tipped non-ferrous metal blade to rip right down the seam, splitting the extrusion so the plastic strip falls right out.
Do Not Confuse 6063 with Structural Alloys
Pay attention to what you are tearing out on the job site. While 6063 is typically used for window frames and architectural trim, heavier framing and I-beams are usually Aluminum 6061 Structural. Yards often price these differently based on their mill buyers, so sorting your 6063 away from $1.20 to $1.32/lb and 6061 is crucial for maximizing your scale ticket.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly qualifies as "Clean" 6063 Extrusion?
To get the clean price, the aluminum must be 100% free of paint, anodized coatings, steel screws, zinc brackets, dirt, glass, rubber weather stripping, and plastic thermal breaks. It needs to be bare, shiny metal through and through.
What is the current average price for clean 6063 extrusions?
Right now, our data shows the national average for clean 6063 extrusion is hovering around $1.19 per pound. This baseline price is heavily influenced by the LME markets, typically sitting roughly 29.4% below the spot price depending on your local yard's processing margins.
Can I leave painted extrusions in my clean 6063 pile?
Absolutely not. Painted or heavily anodized extrusions must be sorted separately into their own bin. If a buyer finds painted material mixed with your clean bare extrusions, they will downgrade the entire load to the painted extrusion rate, costing you a significant chunk of your payout.
