A novel extrudable aluminum based alloy is described consisting essentially of 0.60-0.84% magnesium, 0.45-0.58% silicon, 0.15-0.40% copper, 0.04-0.35% chromium, or 0.20-0.80% manganese, less than 0.25% iron, where Si>=(Mg/1.73+(Mn+Cr+Fe)/3-0.04), and the balance essentially aluminum. In the alloy of the present invention, the magnesium content has been reduced to the minimum possible for mechanical properties. In this way, the magnesium silicide content of the alloy has been reduced, providing a very beneficial effect on extrudability.
