Actually 6061 has twice the "stretch" before failure than 6063. But the actual difference is the "T" number designation after the alloy, the temper that is important when bending any metal. You want annealed metal or T-0 to bend.Ryan

If using "raw" aluminum then you want 6063-T4.
It bends as is and no need to anneal. I can't imagine having to anneal a giant pile of aluminum just so you could bend it. There is loads of it out there already engineered for bending.
