Secondary 6063 Billet (Recycled Content) is traded in billet / rod form, sourced from secondary cast house using extrusion scrap.

What to check before you buy
- Dimensions / tolerance: Write down the size and the allowed variation, for example thickness, width, diameter or length with plus and minus limits, and agree how they will be measured.
- Recycled content: If you need recycled content for customer or ESG reporting, agree how it is defined and what documentation the supplier will provide to support the claim.
- Chemical composition: List the alloy standard and the limits for key elements such as Si, Cu, Fe, Mg, Zn and Mn. Ask for a composition report with every lot and keep the right to test on arrival.
- Lot check: Confirm alloy, diameter and length tolerance, homogenisation, grain refining and surface finish for billets. For wire rod, check EC or alloy grade, conductivity, tensile strength, coil weight and the mill test certificate.
