6013-T6 is a medium-strength aluminum alloy containing copper and magnesium, solution heat-treated and artificially aged to peak hardness, offering good fatigue resistance and moderate corrosion resistance suitable for aircraft skin and structural sheet applications. This temper provides balanced strength (yield ~35 ksi, ultimate tensile ~45-48 ksi) with adequate ductility and bearing capabilities for riveted airframe structures per AMS 4216 and AMS 4347 specifications.
