There isn't an appreciable difference in the welding process for 6063 as compared to 6061, use your 4043 wire, 50Ar/50He shielding gas, and lanthanated tungsten, and you'll be fine. There also isn't much difference in the as-welded strengths of 6063 and 6061. I believe the main difference between the two alloys is that 6063 does not gain as much strength through heat-treatment, but is more resistant to corrosion.

It's chro-moly (sounds like: "crow+molly") abbreviations of the two main alloying elements: chromium and molybdenum. Just a pet peeve
don't take it personally
