Aluminum

What types of aluminum does your team use and where do you get it?

We have most often used 6061-T6 (round tube, angle, and flat bar) and 6063-T52 box tube. For some reason I have never been able to find box tubing in anything other than 6063-T52. Is anything else readily available in box tube?

Since we do not have a local metal supplier we order from online places like Online Metals or Metals Depot but they can be expensive.

Are there any different alloys that teams find especially useful? If so where do you get it?
