Cost Analysis through Price Listings

Relative to other aluminum alloys, Al 6013 is approximately in the same price range. The following is a table of some online price listings from McMaster Carr:



Common Aluminum Alloy Prices



-Alloy -------- 12" x 1" rod ----- 6 ft x 2" rod

Al 7075 --------- $16.68 ---------- $225.91

Al 6061 --------- $14.89 ---------- $89.19

Al 2024 --------- $13.35 ---------- $211.74

Al 6013 --------- $13.73 ---------- $200.17



As can be seen, Al 6013 is within a reasonable price range as compared to other similar alloys in small quantities. Al 6061 starts to get cheaper than other alloys as material quantity purchased increases, but Al 6013 tends to be about the same price as the Al 7075 and Al 2024 alloys.
