6013 aluminum plate delivers aerospace-grade strength—12 % higher yield than Alclad 2024—yet keeps the excellent corrosion resistance, weldability and machinability designers expect from 6061.
Supplied in T4 for easy deep-draw or stretch forming and then naturally aged to T6 without costly heat-treat cycles, it offers a rare mix of high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and clean surface finish ideal for high-stress parts, structural panels and precision fixtures.

FAQ – 6013 aluminum sheet plate
What is 6013 aluminum plate used for?
Automotive body panels, door frames and pedals; aerospace interior parts and brackets; heat sinks and electronic enclosures; precision machinery parts, molds and fixtures.
How does 6013 aluminum plate differ from 7075 aluminum?
6013 is a 6XXX (Si–Mg) heat-treatable alloy; 7075 is a 7XXX (Zn–Mg–Cu) high-strength alloy. 7075-T6 offers ~520 MPa UTS vs. ~310 MPa for 6013-T6. 6013 machines and forms more easily, while 7075 is harder to machine and more crack-prone. 6013 also has slightly better corrosion resistance.
The strength of 6013 Aluminum Sheet is comparable to that of 7075 Aluminum Sheet, but 6013 Aluminum Sheet is more corrosion-resistant and weldable.
What is the composition of 6013 aluminum plate?
Si 0.40–0.80 % | Fe ≤ 0.70 % | Cu 0.15–0.40 % | Mg 0.80–1.20 % | Mn 0.15–0.40 % | Zn ≤ 0.20 % | Ti ≤ 0.15 % | Al balance
What are the properties of 6013-T4 aluminum plate?
Tensile strength ~265 MPa; yield strength ~145 MPa; elongation ~12 %; hardness ~80 HB.
6013 aluminum sheet VS 2024 aluminum sheet
The yield strength of 6013 Aluminum Sheet is 12% higher than that of 2024 Aluminum Sheet.
6013 aluminum sheet VS 6061 aluminum sheet
