"Be careful here" is good advice but you can get the correct angle through a
good metal yard.
It seems unlikely to me that Alcola would pump out 100 yards of angle, call
it AA6-063X3/4X3/4 and put it in the "non aviation pile". Then pump out 100
yards of angle with a different radius and call it AA6-063X3/4X3/4 for the
"aviation pile".
Regardless, it is easy enough to compare cross sections of the two angles
and also a good idea.

Be careful here. The angle used in aircraft is quite different than
the angle commonly found in metal supply yards. Note the radius on
the inside -- a lot of the commercial stuff has a sharp inside corner
that IS NOT suitable for longerons. Even though it's the same alloy
and dimension, it will not work.

It is structural aluminum...Not architectural aluminum.
