Tenzaloy 713

Tenzaloy 713 is a high-strength aluminum-zinc alloy known for its exceptional mechanical properties and good casting characteristics. It is particularly valued in applications that require high strength, good dimensional stability, and excellent machinability.

Tenzaloy 713 is ideal for high-strength applications such as gears, cams, and other mechanical components. Some examples of common uses are: 

Automotive Industry

• Engine Components: Such as brackets, housings, and other parts that require high strength and durability.
• Transmission Cases: Require high strength and good dimensional stability.
• Suspension Parts: Including control arms and brackets, which need to be strong and lightweight.

Aerospace Industry

• Structural Components: Used in parts that require a good strength-to-weight ratio and reliability.
• Landing Gear Parts: Require high strength and impact resistance.

Industrial Applications

• Machinery Parts: Such as housings, brackets, and gears that need to withstand mechanical stress and wear.
• Tooling and Fixtures: Used in manufacturing processes due to their machinability and strength.
• Pump and Valve Components: Require high strength and good dimensional stability.

Consumer Goods

• Sporting Equipment: Such as high-strength bicycle components and other equipment where lightweight and strength are essential.
• Appliances: Parts that require a good balance of strength, machinability, and dimensional stability.

Construction Industry

• Structural Elements: Used in frameworks and supports where high strength and stability are required.
• Architectural Components: Such as fittings and fixtures that need to maintain their shape and integrity under load.

Aluminum with 10% zinc, 2% copper, 0.4-0.7% magnesium, and small amounts of iron and silicon.

High strength and hardness, good wear resistance, but lower ductility and corrosion resistance compared to other aluminum alloys.
