|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6063-T5/T6 | 158/244 N/Mm | 114/214 N/mm2 | 15/14% | 0.53 | T2,T14,T20 TEST Completed |
Material
- Marine Aluminum Alloy (A 6063-T5/T6) is a high-strength, eco-friendly material that's both lightweight and aesthetically appealing. Through atmospheric oxidation, it naturally forms an aluminum oxide surface layer (Al₂O₃) that prevents corrosion while demonstrating exceptional resistance to salt, petroleum products, sulfur, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and other chemical compounds.
- Material standards comply with NORSOK M-121 Aluminium Material and Korean standard KS D 6759 Aluminium Alloy 6063-T5/T6.
Certification Testing
- Load capacity testing completed by Korea KTR under SPS-KMIC-007-2014 (applied) standards for T2, T14, T20

Aluminum Deck & Grating
Aluminum Deck & Grating
Corrosion-Resistant and Lightweight
Made from high-strength alloy (A 6063-T5/T6), our products are suitable for diverse applications and weigh less than 1/4 that of steel and 1/3 that of composite lumber.
Modular Assembly System
Our optimized weld-free design achieves reduced weight with improved productivity and quality.
Chemical Resistance
Excellent resistance to salt, petroleum products, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and sulfur compounds.
Material Cost Savings
Wider joist spacing during fabrication and installation reduces material costs and simplifies modifications.
Comparative Product Table (Steel, Aluminum, FRP, SUS)
ALUCOKOREA's aluminum products eliminate the environmental concerns associated with steel welding and zinc galvanization. With strength equivalent to steel at only 1/4 the weight (25%), our products offer easy installation through complete weld-free assembly. (Comparison basis: L1000 x B1000 x H30, pedestrian use)

Aluminum Deck vs. Standard Deck
Aluminum decking offers semi-permanent durability with 100% recyclable, eco-friendly materials that resist deformation and require no maintenance. Made from high-strength materials that exceed slip-resistance and maximum bending-load standards by over 200%, it provides strength equivalent to steel, with excellent resistance to wildfires and coastal salt exposure.
