Aluminum 6013 is a heat-treatable aerospace alloy with moderate strength, good formability, and superior corrosion resistance. It is commonly used for applications such as pressure vessels, cryogenics, hydraulics, towers, and rigs due to its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance when supplied in sheet or plate form. This wrought aluminum alloy also offers high strength, excellent compressive properties, and good weldability, making it suitable for additional applications like valves, machine parts, munitions, and braking systems.
