6013 Aluminum Alloy Powder: Core Advantages
Equilibrium Strength and Plasticity
The T6 condition exhibits a tensile strength of 300–400 MPa, a yield strength of ≥330 MPa, and an elongation of ≥8%; its strength is approximately 25% higher than that of 6061, while maintaining good ductility.
Excellent formability
In the T6 condition, it still exhibits excellent formability, making it well suited for stamping, extrusion, and additive manufacturing, with high forming accuracy—this is a unique advantage that sets 6013 apart from 6061 and 7075.
Good corrosion resistance · Weldable
It exhibits superior corrosion resistance compared to high‑strength 7xxx alloys such as 7075, can be welded by laser or TIG processes, and offers excellent joint strength that closely matches that of the base material, making it well suited for typical industrial environments.
Lightweighting · Heat-Treatment Strengthening
With a density of 2.71 g/cm³, it significantly reduces component weight; its strength can be further enhanced through T4/T6 heat treatment and is compatible with anodizing surface finishes.

6013 aluminum-magnesium-silicon-copper alloy powder
6013 aluminum alloy is a novel alloy developed by Alcoa, belonging to the Al–Mg–Si–Cu series and exhibiting a higher degree of alloying compared with other 6xxx-series alloys. Its primary strengthening elements are magnesium (Mg, 0.8–1.2%) and silicon (Si, 0.6–1.0%), complemented by copper (Cu, 0.6–1.1%) and manganese (Mn, 0.2–0.8%) for synergistic reinforcement. Following solution treatment and aging, it achieves a tensile strength of 300–400 MPa and a yield strength of ≥330 MPa, balancing strength and ductility while offering excellent formability, good corrosion resistance, and superior weldability. The strength of 6013 exceeds that of conventional 6xxx-series alloys such as 6061 by approximately 25%, and its corrosion resistance surpasses that of high‑strength 7xxx-series alloys like 7075. Consequently, it finds extensive applications in aerospace, automotive lightweighting, rail transportation, and electronic devices. TIJO employs an inert‑gas atomization process to produce spherical 6013 powder with a sphericity of ≥92% and excellent flowability, making it compatible with a range of advanced manufacturing techniques, including SLM, MIM, cold spraying, and powder metallurgy compaction.
