Lega di alluminio 6013

Che cos'è l'alluminio 6013?

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.

Composizione chimica

Typical composition of 6013 aluminum:

Elemento	Composizione (%)
Si	0.6-1.0
Fe	0,50 max
Cu	0.20-0.6
Mn	0.20-0.8
Mg	0.80-1.2
Cr	0,10 max

Proprietà meccaniche in base al trattamento termico

Temperamento	Tensile (MPa)	Yield (MPa)	Allungamento (%)
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.

Guida alla scelta della tempra

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.

Caratteristiche principali

Formability vs 6061

6013 forms more readily than 6061 at the same strength class, reducing press-shop rejects on complex parts.

La forza

Comparable to 6061-T6, suitable for semi-structural aerospace and auto body use.

Resistenza alla corrosione

Good general resistance; cladding or coating is used in aggressive environments.

Saldabilità

Weldable, but the heat-affected zone softens; design for the welded condition.

Applicazioni

• Aerospace sheet components and skins
• Automotive body panels and structures
• Military and armoured vehicle backing plates
• Bicycle and lightweight frames
• General structural and formed sheet parts

Note sulla lavorazione e sulla finitura superficiale

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.

Documenti di qualità e ispezione

• Mill Test Certificate (MTC): supplied with every order, reporting actual chemistry and mechanical properties of the delivered lot.
• Dimension and visual inspection: size, flatness, surface, and edge condition are checked against the agreed specification.
• Third-party inspection: SGS or equivalent reports can be arranged on request for specific orders.
• Certificazioni: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety).

6013 Aluminum FAQ

6013 vs 6061 – which to choose?

Choose 6013 when you need to form complex shapes at 6061-level strength; choose 6061 when you need the broadest extrusion and stock availability.

What does T651 mean?

T651 is T6 with stress relief by stretching, improving dimensional stability after machining.

Is 6013 available as wire?

6013 is a sheet/plate grade; welding wire for 6xxx joints is usually 4043 or 5356.

Domande frequenti generali sugli ordini

Qual è la quantità minima d'ordine?

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.

What lead time can I expect?

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.

Do you provide mill test certificates?

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.

Can you cut to size or add processing?

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.

A quali standard fornite?

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.

Come posso richiedere un preventivo?

Send your alloy, temper, form, dimensions, quantity, and required standard. We return a quotation with pricing, lead time, and the inspection documents included.
