Why Scot Forge Forges Highlander 613™ Aluminum Alloy (A96013)

During collaborative discussions with industry experts, a recurring deficiency was noted for forged aluminum products, the need for aluminum with excellent fatigue endurance, toughness and corrosion resistance characteristics. 

Scot Forge worked with these experts to perform a study evaluating suitable aluminum alloy compositions capable of meeting the strict criteria for forged components used in Naval, Aerospace and Defense applications. The results lead to the development of an alloy, aluminum 6013, that when tempered is well adapted for many forging applications.
