6013 aluminum is a 6xxx-series heat-treatable sheet alloy that adds copper to the magnesium-silicon base (AlMg1SiCu). Compared with the very common 6061, 6013 provides better formability at similar strength levels, which makes it attractive for formed aerospace and automotive structures where pressing complex shapes without cracking matters.

Typical composition of 6013 aluminum:
| Elemento | Composición (%) |
|---|---|
| Si | 0.6-1.0 |
| Fe | 0,50 máx. |
| Cu | 0.20-0.6 |
| Mn | 0.20-0.8 |
| Mg | 0.80-1.2 |
| Cr | 0,10 máx. |
| Zn | 0,25 máx. |
| Ti | 0,10 máx. |
| Others (each / total) | 0.05 / 0.15 |
| Al | Saldo |
| Temple | Tracción (MPa) | Límite elástico (MPa) | Alargamiento (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| T4 | 290-350 | 150-200 | 20-24 |
| T6 | 340-410 | 290-350 | 8-12 |
| T651 | 340-410 | 290-350 | 8-12 |
Values are typical reference ranges for sheet per ASTM B209 / EN 485-2 and depend on thickness. T651 is stress-relieved for improved dimensional stability in machined parts.
T4 is the forming condition for complex panels and skins, with strength developed by subsequent aging or paint bake.
T6 / T651 give maximum strength; T651 adds stress relief for machined components that must hold tight tolerances.
6013 forms more readily than 6061 at the same strength class, reducing press-shop rejects on complex parts.
Comparable to 6061-T6, suitable for semi-structural aerospace and auto body use.
Good general resistance; cladding or coating is used in aggressive environments.
Weldable, but the heat-affected zone softens; design for the welded condition.
6013 is formed in T4 and aged, or supplied in T6/T651 for machined parts. Welding uses 4043/5356 filler with allowance for HAZ softening. It machines well in T651 and anodizes to a consistent finish.
Linsy Aluminum operates a production base with more than 20 years of experience in rolled and extruded aluminum products across the 1000 to 8000 series. We support buyers with cut-to-size service, CNC machining, laser cutting, and surface finishing (anodizing, polishing, brushing) under one roof.
Every order ships with a mill test certificate (MTC) documenting chemistry and mechanical properties. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Third-party inspection reports (for example SGS) can be arranged on request for specific orders.
We work to ASTM, EN, GB, and JIS specifications and supply customers in Europe, Asia, and other regions. Tell us your form, temper, and dimension requirements and we will return a quotation with lead time.
These articles help with alloy selection, fabrication, and procurement decisions:
Choose 6013 when you need to form complex shapes at 6061-level strength; choose 6061 when you need the broadest extrusion and stock availability.
T651 is T6 with stress relief by stretching, improving dimensional stability after machining.
6013 is a sheet/plate grade; welding wire for 6xxx joints is usually 4043 or 5356.
Minimum order quantities depend on the form and temper. For common sheet, plate, and extrusion sizes we can often accept small lots; custom sizes and tempers are quoted per request. Contact us with your bill of materials for a firm MOQ.
For stock or regularly produced sizes, typical lead time is 10 to 60 days depending on quantity, temper, and any additional processing. Custom or rarely ordered specs may take longer; we confirm the date in the quotation.
Yes. Every shipment includes an MTC reporting the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. SGS or other third-party inspection reports can be arranged when needed.
Yes. We offer cut-to-length, precision sawing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and surface finishing (anodizing, polishing, brushing) so the material arrives closer to your finished part.
We regularly work to ASTM, EN, GB, and JIS specifications. If your project references a specific standard or designation, mention it in the RFQ so we match the requirement.
Send your alloy, temper, form, dimensions, quantity, and required standard. We return a quotation with pricing, lead time, and the inspection documents included.
