Aluminum 6063/ 6061

**MetalMonster89** · 01-09-2014, 12:39 AM

So I have this aluminum and it's either 6063 or 6061 (local scrap yard hit it with a xrf gun). I was wondering since the aluminum is painted or coated will it be considered dirty? Or would a scrap yard give me the 6063 price?

Thanks

Probably give "old sheet" or extruded price, whichever it is.

My yard would give me 6063 or 6061 price as long as it is pretty thick. If it is thin then they would give me painted sheet price. (Kentucky)

I was able to get extruded price for my last painted extruded pieces, but I did ask them when I pulled up with the truck load of extruded most of it was unpainted only about 20 pounds was painted. Never hurts to ask...
