Aluminum

Medical purpose aluminum parts

For superior machining in a plate product, 6013 aluminum offers faster speeds and feeds, smaller chip sizes, and better surface finish than standard 6061, without sacrificing corrosion resistance, weldability, thermal conductivity, or anodizablity.

When using 6013 aluminum in medical applications, you get the following improvements as compared to the usage of 6061 aluminum:      

  • 30% to 40% smaller chip sizes

  • 25% to 45% higher speeds and feeds

  • Less metal build-up on cutting tools and the machined product
