The product is a medium strength extruded bar and profile solution that is heat-treated, artificially aged, and usually controlled stretched to achieve the 'T6511' condition. The specification scope officially ends at 200mm, but controlled stretched bars can be made up to 254mm diameter depending on shape. Controlled stretching is not always possible on profiles.
